Dear support,
I subscribe to events from ProSYS OPC UA Simulations Server local in UAExpert. How can I view the raw Event Message data? Is it possible with Wireshark? How does it look in Wireshark?
Thanks

Hello,
You can use Wireshark to see the PublishResponses sent by Simulation Server containing the Events as lists of Event fields. You can find instruction on how to use Wireshark with OPC UA applications at https://www.prosysopc.com/blog/opc-ua-wireshark/. If you’re running UaExpert and Simulation Server on the same host, remember to select “Support loopback traffic” option when installing Wireshark.
Below is an example of such Event field list captured with Wireshark.

I’m not sure if this is what you mean with “raw Event Message data”, though. The way OPC UA handles subscribing to Events is by the Client specifying an Object that generates Events and a list of Event fields (and also EventFilter but we’ll leave that aside for now) in a CreateMonitoredItemsRequest to the Server which will then send PublishResponses to Client containing the values of the selected Event fields of Events generated by the selected Object. Some of these fields might not be relevant to all types of Events generated by the selected Object and thus their values are null in the PublishResponses.
In short, there is no way in OPC UA for Clients to ask the Server to send entire Events as “raw data”. You will always have specify the Event fields you’re interested in and you shall then receive the Events as lists of values of the selected fields.

And here is the SelectClauses for CreateMonitoredItemsRequest that specifies which Event fields were selected:
