  • triggerName (mandatory) - The name of the trigger. This value must be unique for the specific role.
  • triggerExpression (mandatory) - A tsquery expression representing the trigger.
  • streamThreshold (optional) - The maximum number of streams that can satisfy a condition of a trigger before the condition fires. By default set to 0, and any stream returned causes the condition to fire.
  • enabled (optional) - By default set to 'true'. If set to 'false', the trigger is not evaluated.
  • expressionEditorConfig (optional) - Metadata for the trigger editor. If present, the trigger should only be edited from the Edit Trigger page; editing the trigger here can lead to inconsistencies.

Audit Event Tracker Configures the rules for event tracking and coalescing. This feature is used to define equivalency between different audit events. When events match, according to a set of configurable parameters, only one entry in the audit list is generated for all the matching events. Tracking works by keeping a reference to events when they first appear, and comparing other incoming events against the "tracked" events according to the rules defined here. Event trackers are defined in a JSON object like the following: { "timeToLive" : [integer], "fields" : [ { "type" : [string], "name" : [string] } ] } Where:
  • timeToLive: maximum amount of time an event will be tracked, in milliseconds. Must be provided. This defines how long, since it's first seen, an event will be tracked. A value of 0 disables tracking.
  • fields: list of fields to compare when matching events against tracked events.
Each field has an evaluator type associated with it. The evaluator defines how the field data is to be compared. The following evaluators are available:
  • value: uses the field value for comparison.
  • userName: treats the field value as a userName, and ignores any host-specific data. This is useful for environment using Kerberos, so that only the principal name and realm are compared.
The following is the list of fields that can be used to compare Hue events:
  • operation: the Hue operation being performed.
  • username: the user performing the action.
  • ipAddress: the IP from where the request originated.
  • allowed: whether the operation was allowed or denied.

Note that usernames and passwords will be transmitted in the clear unless either an ldaps:// URL is used, or "Enable LDAP TLS" is turned on (where available). Also note that encryption must be in use between the client and this service for the same reason.For more detail on the LDAP URL format, see RFC 2255 .
