ENTITY_CREATE event type

ENTITY_CREATE events are emitted whenever an asset is created in Atlan.

One ENTITY_CREATE event is emitted for each asset that's created

So, for example, if the Snowflake crawler runs and creates:

• 1 connection
• 3 databases
• 10 schemas
• 500 tables
• 15,000 columns

Atlan will emit 15,514 ENTITY_CREATE events—one for each of these assets.

The details of the created asset will be in the message.entity portion of the event payload.
