Reference topics provide information about system events.
* **[Event logs](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/esUd1o8dSkahDa8pIK1qlA)**   
  The event log records all system events that occur within the ServiceNow AI Platform.
* **[Event states](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/Ly9ZWz~M58G7VvPcqxQWTw)**   
  The event state describes where in the life cycle the event is.
* **[The incident events business rule](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/4ih1BO_CX9oOC77TaA4Omg)**   
  The incident events business rule comes with the system and defines a number of events that can be triggered by different actions in the Incident table.
* **[Global events](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/2CBgoMBYNFMrVSjr7IU7~g)**   
  Your instance has a global function called global_events() that triggers from a business rule when certain conditions occur.
* **[Script actions](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/CmVuSHRyDl7YV~qNHj8oXg)**   
  You can use script actions to create server-side scripts that perform a variety of tasks, such as modifying a configuration item (CI), or managing failed login attempts. Script actions are triggered by events only.
* **[Sample scripts from the change events business rule](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/~~bsmRUqm2v~eR_w07knXA)**   
  Several scripts are found in the baseline change events business rule.
