# Events HTTP API Beta
The `/event` endpoints are used to stream events and manage event sinks. Event
sinks allow for operators to configure a sink (such as a webhook). Nomad will
subscribe to the event stream with the configured sinks topics and send events
to the sink in near real time.
## Event Stream
This endpoint streams a servers backlog of events as well as new events as they occur.
The stream will be kept alive until the connection is closed.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| ------ | ------------------ | ------------------ |
| `GET` | `/v1/event/stream` | `application/json` |
The table below shows this endpoint's [required ACLs](/api-docs#acls). Due to
the nature of this endpoint individual topics require specific policies.
| Topic | ACL Required |
| ------------ | -------------------- |
| `*` | `management` |
| `Job` | `namespace:read-job` |
| `Alloc` | `namespace:read-job` |
| `Deployment` | `namespace:read-job` |
| `Eval` | `namespace:read-job` |
| `Node` | `node:read` |
### Parameters
- `index` `(int: 0)` - Specifies the index to start streaming events from. If
the requested index is no longer in the buffer the stream will start at the
next available index.
- `topic` `(topic:filter_key: "*:*")` - Specifies a topic to subscribe to and
filter on. The default is to subscrive to all topics. Multiple topics may be
specified by passing multiple `topic` parameters. A valid topic parameter
includes a `topic` type and an optional `filter_key` separated by a colon
`:`. As an example `?topic=Deployment:redis` would subscribe to all
`Deployment` events for a job redis. an additional topic
`&topic=Deployment:web` would include deployment events for redis and web. To
only subscribe to `Node` events a topic parameter of `?topic=Node` without a
separator value would be used. `?topic=Node:*` is also valid.
### Event Topics
| Topic | Output |
| ------------ | ------------------------------- |
| Job | Job |
| Eval | Evaluation |
| Alloc | Allocation (no job information) |
| Deployment | Deployment |
| Node | Node |
| NodeDrain | Node |
### Event Types
| Type |
