Internal particle events shown in Particle Console Events view unexpectedly

[jettonj]

Hi,

Within the past week, I’ve started seeing different internal Particle events pop up when looking at the Events tab in the Particle Console. This means that for each every user event there are 2 more events that clutter the list.
For example, one of our devices sends user/event which is now followed by particle-internal sending hook-sent/user/event and hook-response/user/event/0.

I don’t care that the events are happening, but is there a way to filter them out like what seemed to be default from a week ago? …should I care that these events are now popping up?

Hi, and welcome to the community.

Are these devices on a product? And maybe not claimed?
I wonder if this announcement has anything to do with that:

Product subscriptions without claiming

Hey All! Particle has improved the event system so that devices in a product can receive events without being claimed. This means claiming devices in a product is no longer needed! Device claiming has often caused issues with scaling, specifically for users who move from individual development to manufacturing. This change means that devices in a product that subscribe to webhook responses will receive them, regardless if they are claimed to a user, a customer or not claimed at all. You’ll als…

It looks like you have a webhook that triggers on /user/event. The extra events are that the webhook was sent and the response to the event. There is no way to filter them out.

They always appeared when viewing the device owner’s event stream, but now also appear in the product event stream. This is part of the change that allows unclaimed product devices to subscribe to events. This eliminates the need to claim product devices in almost all cases.

Thanks! Glad to be here.

Yes, we do have webhooks for them, but, as you said, this is the first time I'm seeing them clutter up the product-wide event stream.
When you say the device owner's event stream, you don't mean the event stream when looking at any particular product device's event stream, right? Because when I'm looking at any one device it's already filtered to the device ID so I don't see anything from particle-internal.

For example, here I'm looking at all events for our product,

And here I'm looking at the events for a single device in that product,

I can filter events to be device:particle-internal and i will only get these, so it's kind of a bummer to not be able to filter the opposite way. If there's no way around it now its not a big deal, allowing unclaimed event subscriptions to unclaimed product devices is certainly useful!

That is a good suggestion. We'll take that into consideration. Thanks!
