| 1. A method for monitoring events, comprising:
defining alert events based on primitive event types in an environment monitored by one or more monitoring devices;
setting alert parameters for each alert event;
combining alert events to create a composite alert event based on a plurality of alert events by providing an operator for
combining the primitives where the primitives function as operands of the operator;
determining if multiple events comprising the composite alert event have occurred by monitoring one or more tracking engines;
and
parsing the composite alert event by an event manager to provide an event definition to the one or more tracking engines.
