Event Reference

This reference describes the content of events published to clients streaming events from the Events System.

Common event fields

All event objects contain the following fields:

Field Description
resource FQN of the resource that generated the event.
event_source The source of the change that caused the event.
time Unix time when the event was generated.
type The event type. Currently, this is always "0".
payload The event payload. The payload contents depend on the resource type specified by resource .

Example event:

{
  "event_source": "",
  "payload": { ... },
  "resource": "package::/sandbox/tim.statler::myapp",
  "time": 1.4666271333442785E+18,
  "type": 0
}

Job and instance events

Event streams for subscriptions on the job:: realm contain the following types of events:

Job events

Job events are published in response to job creation and deletion, route changes, service binding changes, and other job updates.

The payload field of each job event may contain the following fields. Some fields are only present for certain job actions, as noted below:

Field Description
action Action that caused this event to be published. See Job event actions for a list of possible actions.
bound_services A map of service binding FQNs to FQNs of services newly bound to the job. Only present for job_binding_add event actions.
created_by Principal name of the user who created the job.
create_time Unix timestamp that indicates when the job was created.
job_uuid UUID of the job from which this event was published.
labels A map of user-defined label names to values placed on the job. Omitted if job has no defined labels.
network The FQN of the virtual network that the job joined or left. Only present for job_network_join and job_network_leave event actions.

Instance resource usage events

Resource usage events contain CPU, disk, memory, and network usage metrics for all job instances specified by the event subscription FQN and are published published automatically every 10 seconds. Resource usage event payloads do not contain an action field, and the top-level event_source is empty.

If the subscription FQN you specify is a namespace (like job::/dev) rather than a specific FQN (job::/dev::job1) instance resource usage events are generated for instances of all jobs in that namespace (that you have permission to read).

The payload object of each resource usage event contains the following fields:

Field name Description
cpu Amount of CPU time (in nanoseconds) being used by the instance.
cpu_total Total CPU usage reserved for the instance in milliseconds of CPU time per second of physical time. If no CPU reservation was specified then this property is 0.
disk_total Total disk space reserved for the instance.
disk_used Amount of disk space being used by the instance.
job_fqn FQN of the job that this instance was running.
job_uuid UUID of the job for which this event was published.
instance_uuid UUID of the instance for which this event was published.
memory_total Total memory reserved for the instance.
memory_used Amount of memory being used by the instance.
network_total Total network throughput allowed in bytes/sec. Applies to all network interfaces.
network_used A map of available network interfaces to network throughput (received and transferred) used by each interface. Also see Route metric events.
timestamp Unix timestamp for when for the metric was recorded.

Example instance metric event:

{
  "event_source": "",
  "payload": {
    "cpu": 2.5615E+6,
    "disk_total": 1073741824,
    "disk_used": 1544192,

create_time Unix time at which this instance was created.
host Name of the host the instance is running on.
instance_exited Boolean that's set to true if the instance was started and any of the processes exited on its own naturally, rather than the platform shutting it down.
