CloudEvents is a CNCF specification for describing event data in a common way. HookSniff supports CloudEvents v1.0 natively.
What is CloudEvents?
CloudEvents defines a standard envelope for event data with fields like specversion, type, source, id, and time.
Why It Matters
Without a standard, every provider uses their own format. CloudEvents eliminates this by providing a universal envelope.
Benefits
- **Interoperability** — Works with Knative, Argo Events, and more
- **Tooling** — Existing CloudEvents SDKs work out of the box
- **Consistency** — Predictable structure across all events
- **Future-proof** — CNCF-backed, widely adopted
How to Enable It
Go to Settings and enable CloudEvents format. Mix formats per endpoint.
