Automation Assembler includes predefined event topics.
Event Topics
Event topics are the categories that group similar events together. When assigned to a subscription, event topics define which event triggers the subscription. The following event topics are provided by default with Automation Assembler. All topics can be used to add or update custom properties or tags of the resource. If a Automation Orchestrator workflow or extensibility action fails, the corresponding task fails as well.
Event Topic | Blockable | Description |
---|---|---|
Approval Events | Yes | Issued when an action that requires an approval is triggered. |
Template configuration | No | Issued when a cloud template configuration event, such as the creation or deletion of a cloud template, occurs. This event topic can be useful for notifying external systems of such events. |
Template version configuration | No | Issued when a new cloud template versioning event occurs, such as the creation, release, de-release, or restoration of a version. This event topic can be useful with integrations of third-party version control systems. |

Compute gateway provisioning | Yes | Issued before a compute gateway is provisioned. |
Compute gateway removal | Yes | Issued before a compute gateway is removed. |

Compute nat post removal | Yes | Issued after a compute NAT resource is removed. |
Compute nat provisioning | Yes | Issued before a compute NAT is provisioned. |
Compute nat removal | Yes | Issued before a compute NAT is removed. |
Compute post provision | Yes | Issued after a resource is provisioned. Events are sent for each machine in a cluster. |
Compute post removal | Yes | issued after a compute resource is removed. Events are sent for each machine in a cluster. |
Compute provision | Yes | Issued before the resource is provisioned at the hypervisor layer. Events are sent for each machine in a cluster.
Note: You can change the allocated IP address.
|
Compute removal | Yes | Issued before the resource is removed. Events are sent for each machine in a cluster. |
Compute reservation | Yes | Issued at the time of reservation. Issued once for a cluster of machines.
Note: You can change the placement order.
|
Compute post migration reconcile status | No | When a managed virtual machine is moved by using vMotion in vCenter or across vCenter instances, the VM is then reconciled in VMware Aria Automation. This event topic is issued to publish details of this virtual machine. The event topic contains the status of the VM reconciliation in VMware Aria Automation and the destination details of the moved VM. |
Custom resource post provision | Yes | Issued for post provisioning events triggered by custom resource operations.
Note: This event topic is usable only for
Automation Orchestrator-based custom resources.
|
Custom resource pre provision | Yes | Issued for pre provisioning events triggered by custom resource operations.
Note: This event topic is usable only for
Automation Orchestrator-based custom resources.
|

Deployment resource requested | Yes | Issued before the provisioning of a deployment resource. |
Disk allocation | Yes | Issued for the preallocation of disk resources. |
Disk attach | Yes | Issued before a disk is attached to a machine. Disk attach is a read and write event. Disk properties supported for write-back are:
All three vSphere specific disk properties are required for updates. All other properties are read-only.

Kubernetes cluster removal | Yes | Issued before the process of deleting a Kubernetes cluster is initiated. |
Kubernetes namespace allocation | Yes | Issued during the preallocation for Kubernetes namespace resources. |
Kubernetes namespace post provision | Yes | Issued after a Kubernetes namespace resource is provisioned. |
Kubernetes namespace post removal | Yes | Issued after a Kubernetes namespace resource is removed. |
Kubernetes namespace provision | Yes | Issued before a Kubernetes namespace is provisioned. |

Load balancer provision | Yes | Issued before provisioning a load balancer. |
Load balancer removal | Yes | Issued before removing a load balancer. |
Network Configure | Yes | Issued when the network is configured during compute allocation.
Note: The Network Configure event topic supports multiple IP addresses/NICs.
Using a static IP assignment ( |
Network post provisioning | Yes | Issued after a network resource is provisioned. |

Event Parameters
After you add an event topic, you can view the parameters of that event topic. These event parameters define the structure of the event's payload, or inputProperties. Certain event parameters cannot be modified and are marked as read-only. You can identify these read-only parameters by clicking the info icon to the right of the parameter.
