Operation
Syntax

GET /api/preview/events

GET /api/preview/events/export

Event objects represent Veza platform activity, including integration parsing, notification activity, and user logins. You can list events that match a filter (such as a category or severity), or export a continuous list for integration with an external monitoring system,

For logging Veza API activity, see Audit Log API.

List events

Returns an array of Veza platform events. If a filter is specified, the endpoint only returns events matching the SCIM filter expression. This can get events with a matching category or severity, for example:

GET /api/preview/events?page_size=10&filter=category+eq+"INTEGRATIONS"+and+timestamp+ge+"2023-04-17T22:29:22.440Z"

The export endpoint can return the error code ResourceExhaused. When encountered, wait for one minute before retrying the request.

To capture events when they become available without skipping any entries, first make call with a persisted_at GE "TIMESTAMP" filter:

curl -X GET "$VEZA_URL/api/preview/events/export?filter=persisted_at+GE+%222023-09-14T23:59:59.999999999Z%22&page_size=5" \
-H "authorization: Bearer $VEZA_TOKEN"

Use the next_page_token in the response to continuously call the next page:

curl -X GET "$VEZA_URL/api/preview/events/export?page_token=eyJMaXNfQ==" \
-H "authorization: Bearer $VEZA_TOKEN"

Example response:
