gerrit stream-events

NAME

gerrit stream-events - Monitor events occurring in real time

SYNOPSIS

ssh -p <port> <host> gerrit stream-events

DESCRIPTION

Provides a portal into the major events occurring on the server, outputting activity data in real-time to the client. Events are filtered by the caller’s access permissions, ensuring the caller only receives events for changes they can view on the web, or in the project repository.

Event output is in JSON, one event per line.

ACCESS

Caller must be a member of the privileged 'Administrators' group, or have been granted the 'Stream Events' global capability.

SCRIPTING

OPTIONS
