# papertrail webhooks
Enables Telegraf to act as a [Papertrail Webhook](http://help.papertrailapp.com/kb/how-it-works/web-hooks/).
## Events
[Full documentation](http://help.papertrailapp.com/kb/how-it-works/web-hooks/#callback).
Events from Papertrail come in two forms:
* The [event-based callback](http://help.papertrailapp.com/kb/how-it-works/web-hooks/#callback):
* A point is created per event, with the timestamp as `received_at`
* Each point has a field counter (`count`), which is set to `1` (signifying
the event occurred)
* Each event "hostname" object is converted to a `host` tag
* The "saved_search" name in the payload is added as an `event` tag
* The "saved_search" id in the payload is added as a `search_id` field
* The papertrail url to view the event is built and added as a `url` field
* The rest of the event data is converted directly to fields on the point:
* `id`
* `source_ip`
* `source_name`
* `source_id`
* `program`
* `severity`
* `facility`
* `message`
When a callback is received, an event-based point will look similar to:
```shell
papertrail,host=myserver.example.com,event=saved_search_name count=1i,source_name="abc",program="CROND",severity="Info",source_id=2i,message="message body",source_ip="208.75.57.121",id=7711561783320576i,facility="Cron",url="https://papertrailapp.com/searches/42?centered_on_id=7711561783320576",search_id=42i 1453248892000000000
```
* The [count-based callback](http://help.papertrailapp.com/kb/how-it-works/web-hooks/#count-only-webhooks)
* A point is created per timeseries object per count, with the timestamp as
the "timeseries" key (the unix epoch of the event)
* Each point has a field counter (`count`), which is set to the value of each
"timeseries" object
* Each count "source_name" object is converted to a `host` tag
* The "saved_search" name in the payload is added as an `event` tag
When a callback is received, a count-based point will look similar to:
```shell
papertrail,host=myserver.example.com,event=saved_search_name count=3i 1453248892000000000
```
