mc event add

The mc event add command adds event notification triggers to a bucket.

AIStor automatically sends triggered events to the configured notification target.

Syntax

Parameters

ALIAS

Required

The AIStor alias and bucket to which the command adds the new event notification. For example:

mc event add play/mybucket

ARN

Required

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the notification target.

The Object Store outputs an ARN for each configured notification target at server startup. See Bucket Notifications for more information.

--event

Optional

The event(s) for which AIStor generates bucket notifications.

Supports the following values:

  • put
  • get
  • delete

Specify multiple value using a comma , delimiter. Do not add any whitespace between values.

If not specified, defaults to put,delete,get.

See Supported Bucket Events for a detailed list of S3 events associated to each of the supported values.

--ignore-existing

Alias: -p

Optional

Directs AIStor to ignore the specified event triggers if a matching trigger already exists.

--prefix

Optional

The bucket prefix in which the specified --event can trigger a bucket notification.

For example, given a ALIAS of play/mybucket and a --prefix of photos, only events in play/mybucket/photos trigger bucket notifications.

Omit to trigger the event for all prefixes and objects in the bucket.

--suffix

Optional

The bucket suffix in which the specified --event can trigger a bucket notification.

For example, given a ALIAS of play/mybucket and a --suffix of .jpg, only events in play/mybucket/*.jpg trigger bucket notifications.

Omit to trigger the event for all objects regardless of suffix.

Global Flags

This command supports any of the global flags.

Examples

Add an Event Notification to a Bucket

The following command adds a new event notification trigger for all S3 PUT, GET, and DELETE operations on a bucket. The command assumes the AIStor deployment has at least one configured bucket notification target:

mc event add myminio/mydata arn:minio:sqs::primary:webhook

S3 Compatibility

The mc commandline tool is built for compatibility with the AWS S3 API and is tested with AIStor and AWS S3 for expected functionality and behavior.

AIStor provides no guarantees for other S3-compatible services, as their S3 API implementation is unknown and therefore unsupported. While mc commands may work as documented, any such usage is at your own risk.
