<h4 class="subsection">6.1.2 Event Notifications and Triggers</h4>

<p>There are a number of hooks that are called when noteworthy events
occur, such as commits or new revisions arriving over the network. These
hooks can be used to feed the events into external notification systems,
such as generating email.
</p>
<p>By default, these hooks are undefined, so no special external actions
are taken.
</p>
<p>Hooks are presented not in alphabetic order; they are grouped by
function, and then by the order they are typically called by monotone.
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>note_commit (<var>new_id</var>, <var>revision</var>, <var>certs</var>)</code>
<a name="index-note_005fcommit-_0028new_005fid_002c-revision_002c-certs_0029"></a>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>Called by monotone after the revsion <var>new_id</var> is
committed. <var>revision</var> is the text of the revision, what would be
given by <code>mtn automate get_revision <var>new_id</var></code>. <var>certs</var>
is a Lua table containing the set of certificate names and values
committed along with this version.
</p>
<p>There is no default definition for this hook.
</p>
<p>Note that since the <var>certs</var> table does not contain cryptographic
or trust information, and only contains one entry per cert name, it is
an incomplete source of information about the committed version. This
hook is only intended as an aid for integrating monotone with informal
commit-notification systems such as mailing lists or news services. It
should not perform any security-critical operations.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>note_netsync_start (<var>session_id</var>, <var>my_role</var>, <var>sync_type</var>, <var>remote_host</var>, <var>remote_key</var>, <var>includes</var>, <var>excludes</var>)</code>

the connection was received from.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><var>remote_key</var></dt>
<dd>
<p>The identity of the key being used by the other end of the connection. The fields may

</dt>
<dd>
<p>Called by monotone after a cert is received (or sent) through netsync,

</p>
<p>Arguments:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">

</dt>
<dd>
<p>Called by monotone after a netsync session ends. This hook would
usually be used for post-netsync purposes, like collecting all the
data from all other netsync notification hooks, make some nice output
from them and finally send the result somewhere.  It could also be
used to prepare parallel databases with all the data to be displayed
through something like viewmtn.
</p>
<p>Arguments:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><var>session_id</var></dt>
<dd><p>Identifies the current netsync session.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><var>status</var></dt>
<dd><p>A three digit integer that tells whether there was an error,
and if so what kind of error it was:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><strong>200</strong></dt>
<dd><p>No error, connection successful.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>211</strong></dt>
<dd><p>The connection was interrupted after some data may have been transferred.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>212</strong></dt>
<dd><p>The connection was interrupted before any data could be transferred.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>412</strong></dt>
<dd><p>The request is not permitted.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>422</strong></dt>
<dd><p>The client tried to use a key that the server doesn&rsquo;t know about.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>432</strong></dt>
<dd><p>The client and server have different epochs for a branch.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>512</strong></dt>
<dd><p>Protocol error (source/sink confusion).
</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>521</strong></dt>
<dd><p>Protocol error (packet received at a time when it doesn&rsquo;t make sense).
</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>532</strong></dt>
<dd><p>The client did not identify itself correctly. (Possible replay attack?)
</p>
</dd>
</dl>

<p>In general, 2xx means there was no error, 4xx means there was a permissions
error, and 5xx means there was a protocol error. xx1 means some data may
have been transferred, xx2 means no data was transferred, and xx0 means all
data was transferred.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><var>bytes_in</var></dt>
<dt><var>bytes_out</var></dt>

</dd>
<dt><var>certs_in</var></dt>
<dt><var>certs_out</var></dt>
<dd><p>The number of certs received/sent during the session.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><var>revs_in</var></dt>
<dt><var>revs_out</var></dt>
<dd><p>The number of revisions received/sent during the session.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><var>keys_in</var></dt>
<dt><var>keys_out</var></dt>
<dd><p>The number of keys received/sent during the session.
</p>
</dd>
</dl>

</dd>
<dt><code>note_mtn_startup (...)</code>
<a name="index-note_005fmtn_005fstartup-_0028_002e_002e_002e_0029"></a>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>Called by monotone when it is first started, after all command
completion and option processing, before the command starts executing.
</p>
<p>There is no default definition of this hook.
</p>
<p>One use of this hook is to monitor usage of monotone, for user
interface testing.
</p>
<p>The arguments to the hook are the command line arguments to monotone,
without the initial <code>mtn</code> command.  They can be accessed
through the lua <var>arg</var> variable as in this example:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">function note_mtn_startup(...)
    print(&quot;Beginning note_mtn_startup&quot;)
    for i = 1,arg.n do
        print(arg[i])
    end
    print(&quot;Ending note_mtn_startup&quot;)
end
</pre></div>
