Eventhouse definition

This article provides a breakdown of the structure for Eventhouse definition items.

Supported formats

EventhouseDefinition items support the JSON format.

Definition parts

The definition of an Eventhouse item is constructed from two parts: the item part and the platform part. Each part contains the following:

• Path: The path to the file that contains the JSON definition.
• Payload: For the platform part, see Platform part. For the EventhouseProperties part, see Example of EventhouseProperties.json definition part decoded from Base64.
• PayloadType: InlineBase64

Platform part

The platform payload is optional. The platform part is a file that contains the Eventhouse metadata information.

• Create Item with definition respects the platform file if provided.
• Get Item definition always returns the platform file.
• Update Item definition accepts the platform file if provided, if you set a new URL parameter updateMetadata=true.

Example of EventhouseProperties.json definition part decoded from Base64

There aren't any properties described in the Eventhouse, so an empty object is given.
