What is the difference and relationship between site_id, site_external_ids, Partner_id and partner_external_ids in the event-related API endpoints?

site_ids: These are unique IDs generated by Resilinc for each record, based on the combination of customer, supplier, and site name.
site_external_ids: These are custom site identifiers provided (not mandatorily) by the customer via the CDIF file.
Partner_id: These are unique IDs generated by Resilinc for each record, based on the combination of customer and supplier.
partner_external_ids: These are custom Partner identifiers provided (not mandatorily) by the customer via the CDIF file.
If site_external_ids or partner_external_ids are provided by the customer, they will be reflected on the Portal and available through the REST API. However, there is no direct relationship between these fields.
