Can I send a notification in the creation and deletion of an entity?


I want to be notified when an entity is created or deleted. Does Orion support subscribing to the creation and deletion of entities?


Solution

  • Yes it does, in Orion Context Broker - NGSIv2 - you have got the following alteration triggers:

    entityUpdate: notification is sent whenever a entity covered by the subscription is updated (no matter if the entity actually changed or not)

    entityChange: notification is sent whenever a entity covered by the subscription is updated and it actually changes (or if it is not an actual update, but forcedUpdate option is used in the update request)

    entityCreate: notification is sent whenever a entity covered by the subscription is created

    entityDelete: notification is sent whenever a entity covered by the subscription is deleted

    Best.
