The feed lets you investigate events that occurred in the past, which is invaluable for troubleshooting. Common use cases are ones like when a node goes offline, and you want to understand what events happened before that. A detailed event history can also assist in attributing sudden pattern changes in a time series to specific changes in your environment. + +## What are the available events? + +At a high-level view, these are the domains from which the Events feed will provide visibility into. + +> ⚠️ Based on your space's plan, different allowances are defined to query past data. + +| **Domains of events** | **Community** | **Pro** | **Business** | +| :-- | :-- | :-- | :-- | +| **[Auditing events](#auditing-events)** - <br/>Events related to actions done on your Space, e.g. invite user, change user role or change plan.| 4 hours | 7 days | 90 days | +| **[Topology events](#topology-events)**<br/>Node state transition events, e.g. live or offline.| 4 hours | 7 days | 14 days | +| **[Alert events](#alert-events)**<br/>Alert state transition events, can be seen as an alert history log.| 4 hours | 7 days | 90 days | + +### Auditing events + +| **Event name** | **Description** | **Example** | +| :-- | :-- | :-- | +| Space Created | The space was created.| Space `Acme Space` was **created** | +| Room Created | A room was created on the Space.| Room `DB Servers` was **created** by `John Doe` | +| Room Deleted | A room was deleted from the Space. | Room `DB servers` was **deleted** by `John Doe` | +| User Invited to Space | A user was invited to join the Space.| User `John Smith` was **invited** to this space by `Alan Doe` | +| User Uninvited from Space | An invitation for a user to join the space was revoked.| User `John Smith` was **uninvited** from this space | +| User Added to Space | A user was added to the Space from an invitation (user accepted the invitation).| User `John Smith` was **added** to this space by invite of `Alan Doe` | +| User Removed from Space | A user was added to the Space from an invitation. | User `John Smith` was **removed** from this space by `Alan Doe` | +| User Added to Room | A user was added to a room on the Space. | User `John Smith` was **added** to room `DB servers` | +| User Removed from Room | A user was removed from a room on the Space. | User `John Smith` was **removed** from room `DB Servers` by `Alan Doe` | +| User Space Properties Changed | The properties of a user on the Space have changed, e.g. change user role | User role for `John Smith` was **changed** to `troubleshooter` by `Alan Doe` | +| Node Added To Room | The node was added to a room on the Space. | Node `ip-xyz.ec2.internal` was **added** to room `DB Servers` by `John Doe` | +| Node Removed To Room | The node was removed from a room on the Space. | Node `ip-xyz.ec2.internal` was **removed** from room `DB Servers` by `John Doe` | +| Silencing Rule Created | A new alert notification silencing rule was created on the Space. | Silencing rule `DB Servers schedule silencing` on rooms `All nodes` and `DB Servers` was **created** by `John Smith` | +| Silencing Rule Changed | An existing alert notification silencing rule was modified on the Space. | Silencing rule `DB Servers schedule silencing` on rooms `All nodes` and `DB Servers` was **changed** by `John Doe` | +| Silencing Rule Deleted | An existing alert notifications silencing rule was removed from the Space. | Silencing rule `DB Servers schedule silencing` on rooms `All nodes` and `DB Servers` was **changed** by `Alan Smith` | + +### Topology events + +| **Event name** | **Description** | **Example** | +| :-- | :-- | :-- | +| Node Became Live | The node is collecting and streaming metrics to Cloud.| Node `netdata-k8s-state-xyz` was **live** | +| Node Became Stale | The node is offline and not streaming metrics to Cloud.
