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

This command is intended to be used in scripts.

EXAMPLES

$ ssh -p 29418 review.example.com gerrit stream-events
{"type":"comment-added",change:{"project":"tools/gerrit", ...}, ...}
{"type":"comment-added",change:{"project":"tools/gerrit", ...}, ...}

SCHEMA

The JSON messages consist of nested objects referencing the change, patchSet, account involved, and other attributes as appropriate. The currently supported message types are patchset-created, draft-published, change-abandoned, change-restored, change-merged, merge-failed, comment-added, ref-updated and reviewer-added.

Note that any field may be missing in the JSON messages, so consumers of this JSON stream should deal with that appropriately.
