For example, filters could be added only when a +particular log file format is detected instead of always installing them. +Events are published through the :ref:`lnav_events` SQLite +table. Reacting to events can be done by creating a SQLite trigger on the +table and inspecting the content of the event. + +Trigger Example +--------------- + +The following is an example of a trigger that adds an out filter when a +syslog file is loaded. You can copy the code into an :file:`.sql` file and +install it by running :code:`lnav -i my_trigger.sql`. + +.. code-block:: sql + :caption: my_trigger.sql + :linenos: + + CREATE TRIGGER IF NOT EXISTS add_format_specific_filters + AFTER INSERT ON lnav_events WHEN + -- Check the event type + jget(NEW.content, '/$schema') = + 'https://lnav.org/event-file-format-detected-v1.schema.json' AND + -- Only create the filter when a given format is seen + jget(NEW.content, '/format') = 'syslog_log' AND + -- Don't create the filter if it's already there + NOT EXISTS ( + SELECT 1 FROM lnav_view_filters WHERE pattern = 'noisy message') + BEGIN + INSERT INTO lnav_view_filters (view_name, enabled, type, pattern) VALUES + ('log', 1, 'OUT', 'noisy message'); + END; + +.. _event_reference: + +Reference +--------- + +The following tables describe the schema of the event JSON objects. + +.. jsonschema:: ../schemas/event-file-open-v1.schema.json# + :lift_description: + +.. jsonschema:: ../schemas/event-file-format-detected-v1.schema.json# + :lift_description: + +.. jsonschema:: ../schemas/event-log-msg-detected-v1.schema.json# + :lift_description: + +.. jsonschema:: ../schemas/event-session-loaded-v1.schema.json# + :lift_description: -- cgit v1.2.3
