SETHOOK

Syntax

SETHOOK name endpoint [META name value ...] [EX seconds] NEARBY|WITHIN|INTERSECTS key FENCE [DETECT what] [COMMANDS which] param [param...]

Description

Creates a webhook which points to a geofenced search. If a hook is already associated to that name, it'll be overwritten.

Examples

Set a simple hook.

SETHOOK warehouse http://10.0.20.78/endpoint NEARBY fleet FENCE POINT 33.5123 -112.2693 500

In this example we created a webhook named warehouse that watches for changes to objects in the fleet collection. When a change occurs the endpoint 'http://10.0.20.78/endpoint' is notified with a detailed message. The message contains a member named 'detect' which has one of the following values:

  • inside is when an object is inside the specified area.
  • outside is when an object is outside the specified area.
  • enter is when an object that was not previously in the fence has entered the area.
  • exit is when an object that was previously in the fence has exited the area.
  • cross is when an object that was not previously in the fence has entered and exited the area.

For more information on the format of this message please see the topic on Geofencing.

NEARBY, INTERSECTS, and WITHIN are supported search types. The FENCE keyword must be present.

Endpoints

Tile38 currently supports endpoints with the following url schemes:

http, https, grpc, redis, disque, kafka, amqp, mqtt, sqs, nats

HTTP / HTTPS

When using the http:// and https:// url scheme an HTTP POST will be sent to the specified url with the content-type of application/json and the request body containing the message.

Tile38 expects that the endpoint will respond with the status code of 200. As long as the status is 200 the message will be considered sent.

GRPC

The grpc:// url scheme provides support for sending messages over GRPC.

For example:

SETHOOK warehouse grpc://10.0.20.78:6798/ ...

Endpoint Failover

It's possible to specify multiple endpoints for a webhook by separating each with a comma. Make sure that there are no spaces between the comma and the urls.

SETHOOK warehouse http://10.0.20.78/ep1,http://10.0.20.78/ep2 ...

Tile38 will try to send a message to the first endpoint. If the send is a failure then the second endpoint is tried, and so on.
