Event Generation

The Azure Data Lake Storage Gen1 destination can generate events that you can use in an event stream. When you enable event generation, the Azure Data Lake Storage Gen1 destination generates event records each time the destination completes writing to an output file or completes streaming a whole file.

The events can be used in any logical way. For example:

With an ADLS Gen1 File Metadata executor to change file metadata, create an empty file, or remove a file or directory after closing a file.
For an example of a similar use case, see Managing Output Files.
With the Email executor to send a custom email after receiving an event.
For an example, see Sending Email During Pipeline Processing.
With a destination to store event information.
For an example, see Preserving an Audit Trail of Events.
