Find existing events in the Event Catalog
The Event Catalog lists all event specifications across your tracking plans in one view, with their status, so you can browse, search, and filter them without opening each tracking plan.
Check the Event Catalog before you define a new event specification, to see whether a team has already defined a similar event.
Access the Event Catalog
Navigate to Event Catalog in the main navigation.
Browse event specifications
The Event Catalog lists all event specifications defined across your tracking plans. The volume and last seen columns show data for the selected pipeline. See Monitor tracking plan data quality in Console for what the volume categories mean. Each row displays:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Event specification name | The name and schema identifier of the event specification |
| Entities | The entities attached to the event |
| Tracking plan | The tracking plan containing the event specification |
| Volume | The number of events collected in the last 30 days on the selected pipeline, split by category |
| Last seen | When the event was last received on the selected pipeline |
| Status | The status of the event specification |
Filter and search
You can filter and search the list to find specific event specifications. Use the controls at the top of the list:
- Search: enter text to filter by event specification name
- Status filter: show all specifications or filter by Draft or Published status
- Entity filter: filter specifications by attached entities
- Pipeline selector: choose the pipeline used for the Volume and Last seen columns, by default your production pipeline
Create an event specification from the catalog
You can create an event specification from the Event Catalog without first opening a tracking plan. See Create an event specification from the Event Catalog.
