event-reporter

event-reporter exposes a simple API over D-BUS which it then stores in a simple embedded database. It also has a GO library (eventclient) to help with this. Queued events are periodically sent to the Cacophony Project API server.

Events are also made to work with the sidekick app so events can be collected from remote locations. The API for this is done through the management-interface

D-BUS API

event-reporter exposes an API at "org.cacophony.Events" on the D-BUS system bus. It a exposes several methods for adding, getting, and deleting events.

Add

Adding a new event

Add(details string, eventType, unixNsec int64) error

• details JSON encoded event details which are compatible with the Cacophony Project events POST API.
• eventType Type of event
• unixNsec Unix timestamp in nanoseconds.

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply \
     --dest=org.cacophony.Events /org/cacophony/Events \
     org.cacophony.Events.Add \
     string:'{"foo":"bar"}' \
     string:test \
     int64:1527629858095250710

GetKeys

Get list of all event keys

GetKeys() ([]uint64, error)

Get

Get details of one event

Get(key uint64) error

• key Key of event that you want to get.

Delete

Delete an event from the event store.

Delete(key uint64) error

• key Key of event that you want to delete.

Event Client

If using go use the eventclient for interfacing with the API instead of making dbus calls. This has AddEvent, GetEventKeys, GetEvent, and DeleteEvent
