The best solution would be for your application to start a special
"listener" session during initialization and use that session for
observation. It'll receive notification of all events caused by any
normal sessions. This approach will also avoid the issue with event
delivery delays, since the listener session can be logged out only
when the application itself shuts down.

You should use either the superuser account or another special account
that has full read access to the workspace to ensure that you receive
notification of all changes regardless of possible access controls.
