Message format - PingDirectory - PingDataSync - 10.1

The distinguished name (DN) of a changed entry represents the default key for published messages. This value can be overridden in either of the following ways:

• With the message-key-attribute property of the Kafka sync destination configuration object
• With a KafkaSyncDestinationPlugin extension point

The value of the message is a JSON object that includes the following fields:

• type – Type of change, such as ADD, MODIFY, DELETE, or RESYNC.
• dn – DN of the changed entry.
• changeID – Unique identifier for the change.
• modifiedAttributes – List of modified attributes. This field is available only when the type is MODIFY.
• current – Entry after the change in JSON format. This field is unavailable when the type is DELETE.

  The JSON format of a current entry is compatible with the PingDirectory REST API.

• previous – Entry before the change in JSON format. This field is unavailable if the type is RESYNC or CREATE.

  The JSON format of a previous entry is compatible with the PingDirectory REST API.
