# Getting Started with Knative Eventing
After you install Knative Eventing, you can create, send, and verify events.
This guide shows how you can use a basic workflow for managing events.
Before you start to manage events, you must create the objects needed to
transport the events.
## Creating a Knative Eventing namespace
Namespaces are used to group together and organize your Knative resources.
<!--TODO: Add documentation about namespaces to core docs?-->
Create a new namespace called `event-example` by entering the following command:
```
kubectl create namespace event-example
```
## Adding a broker to the namespace
The [broker](./broker) allows you to route events to different event sinks or consumers.
1. Add a broker named `default` to your namespace by entering the following command:
```
kubectl create -f - <<EOF
apiVersion: eventing.knative.dev/v1
kind: broker
metadata:
name: default
namespace: event-example
EOF
```
1. Verify that the broker is working correctly, by entering the following command:
```
kubectl -n event-example get broker default
```
This shows information about your broker. If the broker is working correctly, it shows a `READY` status of `True`:
```
NAME READY REASON URL AGE
default True http://broker-ingress.knative-eventing.svc.cluster.local/event-example/default 1m
```
If `READY` is `False`, wait a few moments and then run the command again.
If you continue to receive the `False` status, see the [Debugging Guide](./debugging/) to troubleshoot the issue.
## Creating event consumers
In this step, you create two event consumers, `hello-display` and `goodbye-display`, to
demonstrate how you can configure your event producers to target a specific consumer.
1. To deploy the `hello-display` consumer to your cluster, run the following
command:
```
kubectl -n event-example apply -f - << EOF
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: hello-display
spec:
replicas: 1
selector:
matchLabels: &labels
app: hello-display
template:
metadata:
labels: *labels
spec:
containers:
- name: event-display
image: gcr.io/knative-releases/knative.dev/eventing/cmd/event_display
---
kind: Service
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
name: hello-display
spec:
selector:
app: hello-display
ports:
- protocol: TCP
port: 80
targetPort: 8080
EOF
```
1. To deploy the `goodbye-display` consumer to your cluster, run the following
command:
```
kubectl -n event-example apply -f - << EOF
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: goodbye-display
spec:
replicas: 1
selector:
matchLabels: &labels
app: goodbye-display
template:
metadata:
labels: *labels
spec:
containers:
- name: event-display
# Source code: https://github.com/knative/eventing/tree/main/cmd/event_display
image: gcr.io/knative-releases/knative.dev/eventing/cmd/event_display
---
kind: Service
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
name: goodbye-display
spec:
selector:
app: goodbye-display
ports:
- protocol: TCP
port: 80
targetPort: 8080
EOF
```
1. Verify that the event consumers are working by entering the following command:
```
kubectl -n event-example get deployments hello-display goodbye-display
```
This lists the `hello-display` and `goodbye-display` consumers that you
deployed:
```
NAME READY UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE
hello-display 1/1 1 1 26s
goodbye-display 1/1 1 1 16s
```
The number of replicas in the **READY** column should match the number of replicas in the **AVAILABLE** column.
If the numbers do not match, see the [Debugging Guide](./debugging/) to troubleshoot the issue.
## Creating triggers
A [trigger](./broker/triggers) defines the events that each event consumer receives.
Brokers use triggers to forward events to the correct consumers.
Each trigger can specify a filter that enables selection of relevant events based on the Cloud Event context attributes.
1. Create a trigger by entering the following command:
```
kubectl -n event-example apply -f - << EOF
apiVersion: eventing.knative.dev/v1
kind: Trigger
metadata:
name: hello-display
spec:
broker: default
filter:
attributes:
type: greeting
subscriber:
ref:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
name: hello-display
EOF
```
The command creates a trigger that sends all events of type `greeting` to
your event consumer named `hello-display`.
1. To add a second trigger, enter the following command:
```
kubectl -n event-example apply -f - << EOF
apiVersion: eventing.knative.dev/v1
kind: Trigger
metadata:
name: goodbye-display
spec:
broker: default
filter:
attributes:
source: sendoff
subscriber:
ref:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
name: goodbye-display
EOF
```
The command creates a trigger that sends all events of source `sendoff` to
your event consumer named `goodbye-display`.
1. Verify that the triggers are working correctly by running the following
command:
```
kubectl -n event-example get triggers
```
This returns the `hello-display` and `goodbye-display` triggers that you
created:
```
NAME READY REASON BROKER SUBSCRIBER_URI AGE
goodbye-display True default http://goodbye-display.event-example.svc.cluster.local/ 9s
hello-display True default http://hello-display.event-example.svc.cluster.local/ 16s
```
If the triggers are correctly configured, they will be ready and pointing to the correct broker (`default`) and `SUBSCRIBER_URI`.
The `SUBSCRIBER_URI` has a value similar to `triggerName.namespaceName.svc.cluster.local`.
The exact value depends on the broker implementation.
If this value looks incorrect, see the [Debugging Guide](./debugging/) to troubleshoot the issue.
## Creating a pod as an event producer
This guide uses `curl` commands to manually send individual events as HTTP requests to the broker, and demonstrate how these events are received by the correct event consumer.
The broker can only be accessed from within the cluster where Knative Eventing is installed. You must create a pod within that cluster to act as an event producer that will execute the `curl` commands.
To create a pod, enter the following command:
```
kubectl -n event-example apply -f - << EOF
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
labels:
run: curl
name: curl
spec:
containers:
# This could be any image that we can SSH into and has curl.
- image: radial/busyboxplus:curl
imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
name: curl
resources: {}
stdin: true
terminationMessagePath: /dev/termination-log
terminationMessagePolicy: File
tty: true
EOF
```
## Sending events to the broker
1. SSH into the pod by running the following command:
```
kubectl -n event-example attach curl -it
```
You will see a prompt similar to the following:
```
Defaulting container name to curl.
Use 'kubectl describe pod/ -n event-example' to see all of the containers in this pod.
If you don't see a command prompt, try pressing enter.
[ root@curl:/ ]$
```
1. Make a HTTP request to the broker. To show the various types of events you can send, you will make three requests:
- To make the first request, which creates an event that has the `type`
`greeting`, run the following in the SSH terminal:
```
curl -v "http://broker-ingress.knative-eventing.svc.cluster.local/event-example/default" \
-X POST \
-H "Ce-Id: say-hello" \
-H "Ce-Specversion: 1.0" \
-H "Ce-Type: greeting" \
-H "Ce-Source: not-sendoff" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"msg":"Hello Knative!"}'
```
When the broker receives your event, `hello-display` will activate and send
it to the event consumer of the same name.
If the event has been received, you will receive a `202 Accepted` response
similar to the one below:
```
< HTTP/1.1 202 Accepted
< Content-Length: 0
< Date: Mon, 12 Aug 2019 19:48:18 GMT
```
- To make the second request, which creates an event that has the `source`
`sendoff`, run the following in the SSH terminal:
```
curl -v "http://broker-ingress.knative-eventing.svc.cluster.local/event-example/default" \
-X POST \
-H "Ce-Id: say-goodbye" \
-H "Ce-Specversion: 1.0" \
-H "Ce-Type: not-greeting" \
-H "Ce-Source: sendoff" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"msg":"Goodbye Knative!"}'
```
When the broker receives your event, `goodbye-display` will activate and
send the event to the event consumer of the same name.
If the event has been received, you will receive a `202 Accepted` response
similar to the one below:
```
< HTTP/1.1 202 Accepted
< Content-Length: 0
< Date: Mon, 12 Aug 2019 19:48:18 GMT
```
- To make the third request, which creates an event that has the `type`
`greeting` and the`source` `sendoff`, run the following in the SSH terminal:
```
curl -v "http://broker-ingress.knative-eventing.svc.cluster.local/event-example/default" \
-X POST \
-H "Ce-Id: say-hello-goodbye" \
-H "Ce-Specversion: 1.0" \
-H "Ce-Type: greeting" \
-H "Ce-Source: sendoff" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"msg":"Hello Knative! Goodbye Knative!"}'
```
When the broker receives your event, `hello-display` and `goodbye-display`
will activate and send the event to the event consumers of the same name.
If the event has been received, you will receive a `202 Accepted` response
similar to the one below:
```
< HTTP/1.1 202 Accepted
< Content-Length: 0
< Date: Mon, 12 Aug 2019 19:48:18 GMT
```
1. Exit SSH by typing `exit` into the command prompt.
You have sent two events to the `hello-display` event consumer and two events to
the `goodbye-display` event consumer (note that `say-hello-goodbye` activates
the trigger conditions for _both_ `hello-display` and `goodbye-display`). You
will verify that these events were received correctly in the next section.
## Verifying that events were received
After you send the events, verify that the events were received by the correct subscribers.
1. Look at the logs for the `hello-display` event consumer by entering the
following command:
```
kubectl -n event-example logs -l app=hello-display --tail=100
```
This returns the `Attributes` and `Data` of the events you sent to
`hello-display`:
```

## Cleaning up example resources
You can delete the `event-example` namespace and its associated resources from your cluster if you do not plan to use it again in the future.
Delete the `event-example` namespace and all of its resources from your cluster by entering the following command:
```
kubectl delete namespace event-example
```
