chainctl events

This page presents some of the more commonly used chainctl events commands. For a full reference of all commands with details and switches, see chainctl Reference.

There are three commands available: create, delete, and list. We’ll start with list to see what subscriptions exist.

View your event subscriptions

Get a list of all your Chainguard account’s subscriptions with:

chainctl events subscriptions list

This will return a list of IDs and SINKs for all of your subscriptions. You know what an ID is. A SINK is an addressable or callable resource that can receive incoming events delivered over HTTPS and will translate the delivered event into a returned response that includes promised information. The style and type of response is set by the SINK.

Create event subscriptions

To create a new event and subscribe to events in that organization or folder, use:

chainctl events subscriptions create $SINK_URL

Depending on the SINK, you may be prompted to respond to some questions before this action is complete. You can add a -y to the command to automatically assume yes and run without interaction.

Delete event subscriptions

To delete an existing event, use:

chainctl events subscriptions delete $SUBSCRIPTION_ID

Depending on the SINK, you may be prompted to respond to some questions before this action is complete. You can add a -y to the command to automatically assume yes and run without interaction.
