Overview

Using the Event API

Key points

Retrieving Orchestration and Orchestration Audit events are done via the Fluent Event API
The Event API has various parameters that are available to filter for specific events, for example for a particular entity or during a particular timeframe.

Event API Parameters

Parameter Name	Description	Values
context.rootEntityType	The root entity which is able to be orchestrated.	ORDER LOCATION FULFILMENT_OPTIONS PRODUCT_CATALOGUE INVENTORY_CATALOGUE VIRTUAL_CATALOGUE CONTROL_GROUP RETURN_ORDER BILLING_ACCOUNT JOB
context.rootEntityId	The root entity ID.	Example: 17
context.rootEntityRef	The root entity reference.	Example: HD_123
context.entityId	The entity ID.	Examples: 16
context.entityRef	The entity reference.	Example: c766dd91-a9a8-11ec-989e-69dadf16f9ea
context.entityType	The entity type which is able to be orchestrated.	ORDER FULFILMENT ARTICLE CONSIGNMENT LOCATION WAVE FULFILMENT_OPTIONS FULFILMENT_PLAN PRODUCT_CATALOGUE CATEGORY PRODUCT INVENTORY_CATALOGUE INVENTORY_POSITION INVENTORY_QUANTITY VIRTUAL_CATALOGUE VIRTUAL_POSITION CONTROL_GROUP CONTROL RETURN_ORDER RETURN_FULFILMENT BILLING_ACCOUNT CREDIT_MEMO BATCH
from	The From DateTime represented as a UTC ISO String. The format of this string is as follows: 'YYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.ssZ' Note: By default, if this parameter is not present in the API query, then only the past 30 days are considered	Example: 2023-03-06T01:05:45.00Z
to	The To DateTime represented as a UTC ISO String. The format of this string is as follows: 'YYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.ssZ'	Example: 2023-03-06T01:05:45.00Z
name	The name of the event / ruleset.	Example: CheckOrderCoordinates
category	The category of the event.	snapshot ruleSet rule ACTION CUSTOM exception ORDER_WORKFLOW
retailerId	The ID of the retailer the event is specified for.	Example: 1
eventType	The type of event.	ORCHESTRATION ORCHESTRATION_AUDIT API INTEGRATION SECURITY GENERAL
eventStatus	The status of the event.	PENDING SCHEDULED NO_MATCH SUCCESS FAILED COMPLETE
start	The index to start at, which is used for paginating through the API response. The response will have a `hasMore` field indicating if more events are present.	Example: 100
count	The number of results per page to be returned in the API response. The recommendation is to not retrieve more than 5000 events in a single request. Doing so may result in a timeout of the API due to the number of records having to be returned. Note: By default if this parameter is not present in the API query, only the first 100 events will be returned.

Examples

Below are various examples on how to filter events using the Event API.

Orchestration Events for a root entity by id. (e.g. rootEntityType=ORDER, rootEntityId=123)

`{{fluentApiHost}}/api/v4.1/event?context.rootEntityType={{rootEntityType}}&context.rootEntityId={{rootEntityId}}&eventType=ORCHESTRATION`

Audit Events for a specific entity by id. (e.g. entityType=FULFILMENT, entityId=123)

`{{fluentApiHost}}/api/v4.1/event?context.entityType={{entityType}}&context.entityId={{entityId}}&eventType=ORCHESTRATION_AUDIT`

Orchestration and Audit Events for a root entity by ref. (e.g. rootEntityRef=LOC_1, rootEntityType=LOCATION)

`{{fluentApiHost}}/api/v4.1/event?context.rootEntityRef={{rootEntityRef}}&context.rootEntityType={{rootEntityType}}`

Orchestration and Audit Events for an entity with id, count and from/to dates defined - 5min timeframe (e.g. entityId=123, entityType=ORDER, count=5000, from=2019-01-01T00:00:00.000Z, to=2019-01-01T00:05:00.000Z)
```
`{{fluentApiHost}}/api/v4.1/event?context.entityId={{entityId}}&context.entityType={{entityType}}&count={{count}}&from={{from}}&to={{to}}`
```

Audit Events events for an entity with entityId and rootEntityRef specified (e.g. rootEntityRef=LOC_1, rootEntityType=LOCATION, entityId=123, entityType=WAVE)

`{{fluentApiHost}}/api/v4.1/event?eventType=ORCHESTRATION_AUDIT&context.rootEntityRef={{rootEntityRef}}&context.rootEntityType={{rootEntityType}}&context.entityId={{entityId}}&context.entityType={{entityType}}`

Exception events in a timeframe (e.g. from=2020-01-01T00:00:00.000Z, to=2020-01-01T23:59:59.999Z, count=5000)
```
`{{fluentApiHost}}/api/v4.1/event?category=exception&from={{from}}&to={{to}}&count={{count}}`
```

Webhook action events for an entity (e.g. rootEntityRef=HD_123, rootEntityType=ORDER)

`{{fluentApiHost}}/api/v4.1/event?eventType=ORCHESTRATION_AUDIT&context.rootEntityRef={{rootEntityRef}}&context.rootEntityType={{rootEntityType}}&category=ACTION&name=Send Webhook`

Rest API events (legacy)

`{{fluentApiHost}}/api/v4.1/event?eventType=API&name=POST /api/v4.1/order&count=5000`

`{{fluentApiHost}}/api/v4.1/event?eventType=API&name=PUT /api/v4.1/workflow&count=5000`

Event by id

`{{fluentApiHost}}/api/v4.1/event?query={{eventId}}`

Log Action events with count and from/to parameters (e.g. from=2020-01-01T00:00:00.000Z, to=2020-01-01T00:15:00.000Z, count=5000)
```
`{{fluentApiHost}}/api/v4.1/event?category=CUSTOM&from={{from}}&to={{to}}&count={{count}}`
```
