How to get trigger details
You can get the details of a trigger if you provide a trigger-id, see example below:
Usage:
This can be useful when you want to get the details of a trigger that you have previously created or if you want to modify a trigger.
How to get trigger list
You can get list of all available triggers in a given workspace. Several filters are available to narrow down the results. The flags available to filter the results are:
--system-id
ID of the involved system.--trigger-id
ID of the involved trigger. Multiple can be given: e.g.--trigger-id 1
--trigger-id 2
--trigger-id 3
.--trigger-name
Name of the trigger to retrieve details for. Multiple can be given:--trigger-name name1
--trigger-name name2
.--priority
Priority of the trigger to retrieve details for. Multiple can be given:--priority 1
--priority 2
.--output-file
The result will be saved into this provided filepath. The output format is json, so please provide a filepath with that format:/path/to/file.json
The result can be saved in a json file by using the --output-file
flag. If the provided path doesn’t exist, it will be created. See example below where several filters can be used at the same time:

How to create triggers
There are 2 possible ways to create a new trigger, either by providing a json file with the trigger details or by providing the details directly in the command line. When using a file you can create multiple triggers, otherwise you can create only one trigger at the time.
The flags that are available to achieve this command are the following:
--api-key
: Provide your USER_SECRET_KEY.--name
: Trigger name to create [required if not using a file].--description
: Description of the trigger [optional].--input-file
: Full path to the input file to use, it has to be a .json file, example : /path/to/input.json
To create a trigger by providing options, see example below:
Usage:
Create triggers using a json file
If you want to create a trigger where you can specify conditions then you should use json file with the trigger details. You can use command below to generate a template file. If no --folder-path
is provided, the template will be saved in the current directory.
Usage:
Once the template file is generated, you can fill the details and use it as input file. See an example of file with monitoring_signal_condition and recording_signal_condition below:
Usage:
Only name
is mandatory. Other fields are optional and can be removed from the template file if not needed. Note that for the creation to work properly you need to remove the fields that are not necessary for your trigger.
If you need help to fill the template file, you can check the Trigger Options Help for more information about possible values of several fields.
How to update a trigger
You can update a trigger by using a json file. Flags to update a trigger are --input-file
and --trigger-id
which are both required. You can generate a template file using the same command as for the creation:
Usage:
Once the template file is generated, you can fill the details and use it as input file:
Usage:
How to deploy a trigger
You can deploy a trigger to a given system or to all systems that are compatible with it. A trigger is compatible with a system if all datasources used for the trigger are also linked to the system.
The available flags are:
--api-key
: Provide your USER_SECRET_KEY [required].--trigger-id
: ID of the trigger to deploy [required].--system-id
: ID of the system to deploy the trigger to [mutually exclusive with--to-all-systems
].--to-all-systems
: Deploy to all compatible systems [mutually exclusive with--system-id
].
Usage:
How to get triggers linked to a system
This command returns the list of triggers that are currently linked to a given system.
The available flags are:
--api-key
: Provide your USER_SECRET_KEY [required].--system-id
: ID of the system to retrieve linked triggers for [required].--output-file
: Filepath where the result will be saved (JSON format).--details
: If specified, shows detailed information (ID, status, etc.). If not, only trigger IDs are displayed.
Usage:
If --details
is not provided, only the list of trigger IDs is shown.
How to get candidate systems for trigger deployment
This command provides a list of systems where a given trigger can be deployed. It is useful to verify compatibility before deploying.
The available flags are:
--api-key
: Provide your USER_SECRET_KEY [required].--trigger-id
: ID of the trigger to check for compatible systems [required].--output-file
: Filepath where the result will be saved (JSON format recommended).
Usage:
How to delete a trigger
To be able to delete a trigger you need to provide a trigger-id
. If the trigger is linked to any system, it is not possible to delete: you need to unlink it from the system(s) first and then try again.
