Welcome to Ereignishorizont!
Ereignishorizont is an open event-logging system with triggers/hooks to run arbitrary tasks when an event is matched or not matched.
It was proposed as a project for the Rails Girls Summer of Code. Its two main contributors are the Rails Girls Susanne and Tam who worked on the project from July 2 - September 30, 2013 at the ABSOLVENTA offices in Berlin.
- Track events
- Receive an email about if your event of choice occurred or not
Download the code (or fork / clone locally). To host your instance on Heroku, you need:
- a database
- a scheduler that runs
rake matcheronce per hour - a scheduler that runs
rake cleanupdaily (optional, see Configuration below)
The app can be configured using EREIGNISHORIZONT_* environment variables
or, alternatively, a config/config.yml file. See config/initializers/app_config.rb
for details and default values.
As of v1.7, a cleanup task to purge old incoming events is included. Add rake cleanup to your scheduler (see Installation) and set a EREIGNISHORIZONT_RETENTION_MONTHS environment variable. For example, EREIGNISHORIZONT_RETENTION_MONTHS=10 will delete all incoming events older than 10 months every time the rake task runs.
incoming events require an API token. It can be obtained by
creating a RemoteSide record.
Example for registering an event using JSON:
API_TOKEN=a2ade3bd297bf93a039b06b8560ab193
curl -i -X POST \
-H 'Content-type: application/json' \
-d '{
"incoming_event": { "title": "my event identifier"},
"api_token": "$API_TOKEN"
}' \
http://localhost:3000/incoming_events.json
Example for registering an event using XML:
API_TOKEN=a2ade3bd297bf93a039b06b8560ab193
curl -i -X POST \
-H 'Content-type: application/xml' \
-d '<incoming_event><title>xml formatted</title></incoming_event>' \
http://localhost:3000/incoming_events.xml?api_token=$API_TOKEN
To use the corresponding gem:
gem install ereignishorizont-client
