PuppetDB 1.1 » API » Experimental » Querying Events

Routes

GET /experimental/events

Parameters

• query: Required. A JSON array of query predicates, in prefix form. (The standard ["<OPERATOR>", "<FIELD>", "<VALUE>"] format.)

For example, for all events in the report with id ‘38ff2aef3ffb7800fe85b322280ade2b867c8d27’, the JSON query structure would be:

["=", "report", "38ff2aef3ffb7800fe85b322280ade2b867c8d27"]

Operators

The only available OPERATOR is =.

Fields

The only available FIELD is report, which is the unique id of the report; this is a hash built up from the contents of the report which allow us to distinguish it from other reports. These ids can be acquired via the /reports query endpoint.

Response format

The response is a JSON array of events that matched the input parameters. The events are sorted by their timestamps, in descending order:

[
  {
    "old-value": "absent",
    "property": "ensure",
    "timestamp": "2012-10-30T19:01:05.000Z",
    "resource-type": "File",
    "resource-title": "/tmp/reportingfoo",
    "new-value": "file",
    "message": "defined content as '{md5}49f68a5c8493ec2c0bf489821c21fc3b'",
    "report": "38ff2aef3ffb7800fe85b322280ade2b867c8d27",
    "status": "success"
  },
  {
    "old-value": "absent",
    "property": "message",
    "timestamp": "2012-10-30T19:01:05.000Z",
    "resource-type": "Notify",
    "resource-title": "notify, yo",
    "new-value": "notify, yo",
    "message": "defined 'message' as 'notify, yo'",
    "report": "38ff2aef3ffb7800fe85b322280ade2b867c8d27",
    "status": "success"
  }
]

Example

You can use curl to query information about events like so:

curl -G -H "Accept: application/json" 'http://localhost:8080/experimental/events' --data-urlencode 'query=["=", "report", "38ff2aef3ffb7800fe85b322280ade2b867c8d27"]'
