Managing Event Partitioning through APIs

Event Partitioning can also be managed with the following ManageEvents APIs.

SetManagedEvents

This API can be used to set a list of managed events for the title. If the event name and namespace combination is present already, it will update the existing settings with the new one.

Request example:

POST : https://<titleid>.playfabapi.com/Event/SetManagedEvents 

{ 
    "ManagedEvents":[{ 
                "Namespace": "demo_namespace, 
                "Name": "demo_name", 
                "SamplingRatio": 100, 
                "isPartitioned": true 
            }] 
}

DeleteManagedEvents

DeleteManagedEvents API is used to delete an event name and event namespace combo from the list of managed events for the title. Use the API with the name and namespace in the body of the request.

{ 
      "Namespace": "demo_namespace", 
      "Name": "demo_name" 
}
