»events Stanza

The events stanza configures Boundary events-specific parameters.

Example:

events {
  observations_enabled = true
  sysevents_enabled = true
  sink "stderr" = {
    name = "all-events"
    description = "All events sent to stderr"
    event_types = ["*"]
    format = "hclog-text"
  }
  sink = {
    name = "obs-sink"
    description = "Observations sent to a file"
    event_types = ["observation"]
    format = "cloudevents-json"
    file {
      file_name = "file-name"
    }
  }
}

events {  observations_enabled = true  sysevents_enabled = true  sink "stderr" = {    name = "all-events"    description = "All events sent to stderr"    event_types = ["*"]    format = "hclog-text"  }  sink = {    name = "obs-sink"    description = "Observations sent to a file"    event_types = ["observation"]    format = "cloudevents-json"    file {      file_name = "file-name"    }  }}

• audit_enabled - Specifies if audit events should be emitted.
  Note: audit events are a WIP and will only be emitted if they are both enabled and the env var BOUNDARY_DEVELOPER_ENABLE_EVENTS equals true. We anticipate many changes for audit events before they are generally available including what data is included and different options for redacting/encrypting that data.

• observation_enabled - Specifies if observation events should be emitted.

• sysevents_enabled - Specifies if system events should be emitted.

• sink - Specifies the configuration of an event sink. Currently, two types of sink are supported: file and stderr. If no sinks are configured then all events will be sent to a default stderr sink. Events may be sent to multiple sinks.

»Default Events Stanza

If no event stanza is specified then the following default is used:

events {
  audit_enabled = false
  observations_enabled = true
  sysevents_enabled = true
  sink "stderr" = {
    name = "default"
    event_types = ["*"]
    format = "cloudevents-json"
  }

events {  audit_enabled = false  observations_enabled = true  sysevents_enabled = true  sink "stderr" = {    name = "default"    event_types = ["*"]    format = "cloudevents-json"  }
