# papertrail webhooks
|
||
|
|
||
|
Enables Telegraf to act as a [Papertrail Webhook](http://help.papertrailapp.com/kb/how-it-works/web-hooks/).
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Events
|
||
|
|
||
|
[Full documentation](http://help.papertrailapp.com/kb/how-it-works/web-hooks/#callback).
|
||
|
|
||
|
Events from Papertrail come in two forms:
|
||
|
|
||
|
* The [event-based callback](http://help.papertrailapp.com/kb/how-it-works/web-hooks/#callback):
|
||
|
|
||
|
* A point is created per event, with the timestamp as `received_at`
|
||
|
* Each point has a field counter (`count`), which is set to `1` (signifying the event occurred)
|
||
|
* Each event "hostname" object is converted to a `host` tag
|
||
|
* The "saved_search" name in the payload is added as an `event` tag
|
||
|
|
||
|
* The [count-based callback](http://help.papertrailapp.com/kb/how-it-works/web-hooks/#count-only-webhooks)
|
||
|
|
||
|
* A point is created per timeseries object per count, with the timestamp as the "timeseries" key (the unix epoch of the event)
|
||
|
* Each point has a field counter (`count`), which is set to the value of each "timeseries" object
|
||
|
* Each count "source_name" object is converted to a `host` tag
|
||
|
* The "saved_search" name in the payload is added as an `event` tag
|
||
|
|
||
|
The current functionality is very basic, however this allows you to
|
||
|
track the number of events by host and saved search.
|
||
|
|
||
|
When an event is received, any point will look similar to:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
papertrail,host=myserver.example.com,event=saved_search_name count=3i 1453248892000000000
|
||
|
```
