- Characters from 'a-z';
- Numbers from '0-9'; and
- Periods '.'
Note:Characters that are entered into a path as uppercase are automatically converted to lowercase

4 Event paths
Each event type that is displayed in Veloopti is unique because of its metric path.
5 How paths are used
Paths are used in many places in Veloopti.
5.1 Storm events
Storm rules watch the number of events that appear for paths and send a notification when a threshold breach is detected. Wildcards are able to be used to detect a variety of scenarios.
5.2 How event paths are created
6 API paths
The API is able to inject both metrics and events into Veloopti.
6.1 How API paths are created
When the metrics and events are sent through the API the path is manually written to it using the API. Anything sent without a valid path will be rejected by Veloopti and dismissed. All paths that are created using the api are prefixed with 'api'.
