API Stability Long-Term

The redactEvents() GraphQL query is used to fetch the list of active event redaction jobs.

For more information on creating views to redact data, see the Creating a Repository or View documentation page. You may also want to look at General Settings for related information.

Syntax

Below is the syntax for the redactEvents() query field:

graphql
redactEvents(
     repositoryName: string!
   ): [DeleteEvents]!

For the DeleteEvents datatype, see the Returned Datatypes section. Below is an example using this query field:

Raw
graphql
query {
  redactEvents(repositoryName:"humio")
  {id, created, start, end, query}
}
