Event Hooks is a newly introduced feature in the Kong Gateway 2.5 release, designed to enhance enterprise visibility by sending notifications for specific events within Kong Gateway deployments, such as changes in routes, services, and plugins. This feature allows businesses to automate awareness of changes, reducing risk and increasing visibility without affecting existing functionalities. A practical use case involves a customer using Kong Workspaces to manage APIs with separate logging endpoints for each team, and by integrating Event Hooks with the HTTP Log plugin, they can achieve a global view of API traffic. The implementation requires minimal code changes, utilizing the Plugin Development Kit to extend the HTTP Log plugin and configure webhook handlers for logging all API traffic. This capability supports existing configurations while allowing teams to maintain their individual logging solutions, thereby expanding Kong's observability options through either built-in or custom plugins.
