# 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
|
|
```
