ENTITY_UPDATE event type

ENTITY_UPDATE events are emitted whenever an asset is changed in Atlan. This includes:

  • Changes to any of the asset's attributes (like description, owner, certificate, announcement, and so on)
  • Changes to any of the asset's relationships (like the addition or removal of a term)
One ENTITY_UPDATE event is emitted for each asset that's updated

So, for example, if you remove a term from an asset Atlan will emit 2 ENTITY_UPDATE events:

  • 1 for the asset that was changed (that the term was removed from)
  • 1 for the term that was changed (since it's no longer attached to that asset)

The details of the updated asset will be in the message.entity portion of the event payload. In addition, the event payload shows what specifically was changed in the message.mutatedDetails portion of the event payload.
