mc event rm

Syntax

The mc event rm command removes an event notification trigger from a bucket.

The mc event remove command has equivalent functionality to mc event rm.

The following command removes a configured event notifications for the specified bucket notification target for the mydata bucket on the myminio MinIO deployment:

mc event rm myminio/mydata arn:aws:sqs::primary:target

The command has the following syntax:

mc [GLOBALFLAGS] event remove        \
                 ALIAS               \
                 [ARN]               \
                 [--event "string"]  \
                 [--force]           \
                 [--prefix "string"] \
                 [--suffix "string"]

Brackets [] indicate optional parameters.
Parameters sharing a line are mutually dependent.
Parameters separated using the pipe | operator are mutually exclusive.

Copy the example to a text editor and modify as-needed before running the command in the terminal/shell.

mc [GLOBALFLAGS] event remove [FLAGS] ALIAS ARN

Parameters

`ALIAS`

mc-cmd

Required

The S3 service alias and bucket from which the command removes the event notification. For example:

mc event rm play/mybucket

`ARN`

mc-cmd

Required

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the notification target.

The MinIO server outputs an ARN at startup for each configured notification target. See Bucket notifications for more information.

Retrieve the ARN by running mc event ls on the bucket.

`--event`

mc-cmd

Optional

The event type(s) specified when the event was added. The entries must match the values used when adding the event. If no event matches the list of event types, the command returns a no notification configuration matched error.

Specify multiple events using a comma , delimiter. See Supported Bucket Events for supported event types.

Defaults to removing an event that triggers for all event types on the ALIAS bucket with the ARN notification target.

Retrieve the event types used by running mc event ls on the bucket. Use the following table to convert event types in the command’s output to the entry required for the mc event rm command:

Output of `mv event ls`	Event type to use
`s3:objectAccessed`	`get`
`s3:objectCreated`	`put`
`s3:objectRemoved`	`delete`

For example, if the mc event ls returns the following:

arn:minio:sqs::mytest:webhook   s3:ObjectAccessed:*,s3:ObjectCreated:*   Filter:

Use the following command to remove the event:

mc event rm alias/bucket arn:minio:sqs::mytest:webhook --event get,put

The order of event types does not matter, only that you include the same ones that exist for the event.

`--force`

mc-cmd

Optional

Removes all events on the ALIAS bucket with the ARN notification target.

`--prefix`

mc-cmd

Optional

The bucket prefix in which the command removes bucket notifications.

For example, given a ALIAS of play/mybucket and a --prefix of photos, the command only removes bucket notifications in play/mybucket/photos.

`--suffix`

mc-cmd

Optional

The bucket suffix in which the command removes bucket notifications.

For example, given a ALIAS of play/mybucket and a --suffix of .jpg, the command only removes bucket notifications in play/mybucket/*.jpg.

Global Flags

This command supports any of the global flags.

Examples

Remove Event Notifications from a Bucket

The following command removes all event notification triggers on a bucket. The command assumes the MinIO deployment has at least one configured bucket notification target:

mc event rm myminio/mydata arn:minio:sqs::primary:webhook

mc event rm ALIAS ARN

Replace ALIAS with the alias of the MinIO deployment on which to add the bucket notification event. For example:
myminio/mydata
Replace ARN with the notification target ARN.

Behavior

S3 Compatibility

The mc commandline tool is built for compatibility with the AWS S3 API and is tested with MinIO and AWS S3 for expected functionality and behavior.

MinIO provides no guarantees for other S3-compatible services, as their S3 API implementation is unknown and therefore unsupported. While mc commands may work as documented, any such usage is at your own risk.
