Event Types

This feature was introduced in NetBox v4.1.

Plugins can register their own custom event types for use with NetBox event rules. This is accomplished by calling the register() method on an instance of the EventType class. This can be done anywhere within the plugin. An example is provided below.

from django.utils.translation import gettext_lazy as _
from netbox.events import EventType, EVENT_TYPE_KIND_SUCCESS

EventType(
    name='ticket_opened',
    text=_('Ticket opened'),
    kind=EVENT_TYPE_KIND_SUCCESS
).register()
