Trigger HTTP request after creating a device through the web interface

Juan_David_Tangarife · September 5, 2023, 7:53pm

Greetings everyone, I hope you all are doing great.

I’ve recently configured ChirpStack using the Docker installation method. I require that, each time a device is registered via the web interface, it initiates an HTTP request to an external API. This request should include the device’s AppEUI and DevEUI in the body.

I was checking the documentation and I couldn’t see any topic related to that. There isn’t anything like “system events” (there is the logs that I can see in the terminal, but that’s it) that tell when a device or any other entity was created.

Is it possible to achieve this?

Best regards

Please take a look at:

github.com

chirpstack/chirpstack/blob/master/examples/request_log/go/main.go

package main

import (
	"context"
	"flag"
	"fmt"
	"log"

	"github.com/chirpstack/chirpstack/api/go/v4/api"
	"github.com/go-redis/redis/v8"
	"google.golang.org/protobuf/encoding/protojson"
	"google.golang.org/protobuf/proto"
)

var (
	server string
	key    string
)

func init() {

I believe this might do what you need. This exposes the API requests + some additional meta-data (in case of device create the DevEUI).

Greetings. @brocaar Thanks for the quick response.

I have a little question. Aside from the devEUI, I also require to have the appEUI in the meta-data. Is there a way to get said info?

It is not exposed, but the JoinEUI (if configured) + any other data that you are interested in can be retrieved by making a gRPC API call using the DevEUI as identifier.
