===================
Working with Events
===================

An event is a record generated during engine execution. Such an event
captures what has happened inside the senlin-engine. The senlin-engine service
generates event records when it is performing some actions or checking
policies.


List Events
~~~~~~~~~~~

To examine the list of events:

.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/clustering/event.py
   :pyobject: list_events

When listing events, you can specify the sorting option using the ``sort``
parameter and you can do pagination using the ``limit`` and ``marker``
parameters.

Full example: `manage event`_


Get Event
~~~~~~~~~

To get a event based on its name or ID:

.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/clustering/event.py
   :pyobject: get_event

.. _manage event: https://opendev.org/openstack/openstacksdk/src/branch/master/examples/clustering/event.py
