event/4 or event/5 is called whenever an event occurs in the mod_security Erlang web server API module. (event/4 is called if Address is undefined, otherwise event/5. Argument What specifies the type of event that has occurred and is one of the following reasons:

  • user_block - A user is being blocked from access.

  • user_unblock - A user is being removed from the block list.
