Event Management – Event Operations¶

Creating a Standard Event¶

Create a standard event: HTTP POST /events

{
  "correlationId" : "cd5f73c4-bd67-11e7-abc4-cec278b6b50a",
  "timestamp" : "2018-07-29T06:09:29.743Z",
  "entityId" : "cd5f73c4-bd67-11e7-abc4-cec278b6b50b",
  "code" : "123",
  "description" : "Error happened in the engine",
  "severity" : 5,
  "source" : "eventSource",
  "acknowledged" : false
}

The response shows the content and link to the created event:

{
  "id" : "ab5f73c4-bd67-11e7-abc4-cec278b6b50a",
  "typeId" : "com.siemens.mindsphere.eventmgmt.event.type.MindSphereStandardEvent",
  "correlationId" : "cd5f73c4-bd67-11e7-abc4-cec278b6b50a",
  "timestamp" : "2018-07-29T06:09:29.743Z",
  "entityId" : "cd5f73c4-bd67-11e7-abc4-cec278b6b50b",
  "etag" : 1,
  "_links" : {
    "self" : {
      "href" : "https://eventmanagement.advanced.mindsphere.io/events/ab5f73c4-bd67-11e7-abc4-cec278b6b50a"
    }
  },
  "severity" : 5,
  "code" : "123",
  "acknowledged" : false,
  "description" : "Error happened in the engine",
  "source" : "eventSource"
}

Creating a Custom Event¶

Create a custom event:

  • All the required fields from custom EventType and its parent eventTypes in the hierarchy should be included in the event payload when creating a custom event.
  • Suppose that a child EventType with the id 'c3d6749a-c9e4-11e7-abc4-cec278b6b50a' is created from a parent EventType that has a required field as 'additionalFieldParent'. The 'additionalFieldParent' must be included in the event payload when creating an event for a child EventType.

HTTP POST /events

{
  "correlationId" : "cd5f73c4-bd67-11e7-abc4-cec278b6b50a",
  "timestamp" : "2018-07-29T06:09:29.743Z",
  "entityId" : "cd5f73c4-bd67-11e7-abc4-cec278b6b50b",
  "typeId" : "c3d6749a-c9e4-11e7-abc4-cec278b6b50a",
  "additionalFieldChild" : "additionalFieldChildValue",
  "additionalFieldParent" : "additionalFieldParentalue"
}

The response shows the content and link to the created event:

{
  "id" : "ab5f73c4-bd67-11e7-abc4-cec278b6b50a",
  "typeId" : "c3d6749a-c9e4-11e7-abc4-cec278b6b50a",
  "correlationId" : "cd5f73c4-bd67-11e7-abc4-cec278b6b50a",
  "timestamp" : "2018-07-29T06:09:29.743Z",
  "entityId" : "cd5f73c4-bd67-11e7-abc4-cec278b6b50b",
  "etag" : 1,
  "_links" : {
    "self" : {
      "href" : "https://eventmanagement.advanced.mindsphere.io/events/ab5f73c4-bd67-11e7-abc4-cec278b6b50a"
    }
  },
  "additionalFieldChild" : "additionalFieldChildValue",
  "additionalFieldParent" : "additionalFieldParentalue"

}

Creating Multiple Events¶

Run a job which creates two events:

HTTP POST /createEventsJobs

{
  "events" : [ {
    "correlationId" : "cd5f73c4-bd67-11e7-abc4-cec278b6b50a",
    "timestamp" : "2018-07-29T12:17:48.454Z",
    "entityId" : "cd5f73c4-bd67-11e7-abc4-cec278b6b50b",
    "typeId" : "c3d6749a-c9e4-11e7-abc4-cec278b6b50a"
  }, {
    "correlationId" : "97b33fb8-c536-11e7-abc4-cec278b6b99x",
    "timestamp" : "2018-07-29T12:17:48.454Z",
    "entityId" : "pp9973c4-bd67-11e7-abc4-cec278b6po77",
    "typeId" : "x9x9949a-c9e4-11e7-abc4-cec278b6x99x"
  } ]
}

The response shows the ID and the state of the request:

{
  "id" : "cd5f73c4-bd67-11e7-abc4-cec278b6b50b",
  "state" : "ACCEPTED"
}

The state of the job created above can be checked by the following request:

Deleting Events¶

Delete events by filter:

HTTP POST /deleteEventsJobs

{
  "filter" : {
    "typeId" : "anyTypeId"
  }
}

{
  "id" : "cd5f73c4-bd67-11e7-abc4-cec278b6b50b",
  "state" : "ACCEPTED"
}

The status of the job created above can be checked by the following request:

HTTP GET /deleteEventsJobs/cd5f73c4-bd67-11e7-abc4-cec278b6b50b

The response shows the current state of the job:

{
  "id" : "cd5f73c4-bd67-11e7-abc4-cec278b6b50b",
  "state" : "IN_PROGRESS"
}

This response shows a successfully finished delete:

{
  "id": "a3a35ea8-5893-4aac-af98-8fac29148386",
  "state": "FINISHED",
  "details": {
    "resultCode": "200",
    "resultDescription": "1 events deleted."
  }
}

Sharing of events¶

Events can be shared between collaborating tenants. Events are associated with assets and events are shared implicitly if the corresponding asset is shared, i.e, a sharer tenant needs to share with the asset with receiver tenant to share the events with receiver tenant. The receiver tenant is only allowed to read the events. Param "includeShared" is needed to query shared events.

HTTP GET /events?includeShared=true
