Change Events
Inbounds emit a stream of file entries. Each entry carries an event type.
Event Types
| Event | Description |
|---|---|
create |
The file was created |
update |
The file content or metadata changed |
delete |
The file was removed |
One-shot inbounds such as Local emit only create events for existing files. Live inbounds such as FSWatch and Polling emit all event types.
Deletion Handling
How a delete event is handled depends on the outbound:
| Outbound | Behavior |
|---|---|
local |
The file is removed from the destination |
archive, custom |
A tombstone entry is recorded; restore removes or skips the file |
archive, tar |
The event is ignored and a warning is logged |
s3, sftp |
The object or file is removed from the destination |
