# Viewing Your Sophos Central Events and Alarms

<Icon icon="users" iconType="solid" /> Role Availability | ❌ Read-Only ❌ Investigator ✔️ Analyst ✔️ Manager

BlueApp for Sophos Central translates the Sophos event and alert data collected through the USM Anywhere Sensor into <Tooltip tip="Normalization describes the translation of log file entries received from disparate types of monitored assets into the standardized framework of Event types and sub-types.">normalized</Tooltip> events for analysis. These normalized <Tooltip tip="Any traffic or data exchange detected by LevelBlue products through a sensor or external devices such as a firewall.">events</Tooltip> are accessible from the [Events page](/documentation/usm-anywhere/user-guide/events/events-list-view).

<Note>
  A [correlation rule](/documentation/usm-anywhere/user-guide/rules-management/correlation-rules) automatically identifies Sophos Central alerts where there is a threat detected for malware on an endpoint, and it generates a USM Anywhere <Tooltip tip="Alarms provide notification of an event or sequence of events that require attention or investigation.">alarm</Tooltip>. If you want to generate an alarm for other types of Sophos Central events or alerts, you can [create your own custom alarm rules](/documentation/usm-anywhere/user-guide/rules-management/alarm-rules) and define the matching conditions to fit your criteria.
