A signal is a notification that something has occurred in a CDF process. The Signals API lets you register signal sinks where those signals are delivered (for example email or webhook targets), and define signal subscriptions that filter which signals go to which sinks. Signals are intended for event-style notifications and integrations—for example surfacing workflow failures, extractor health, or other operational events to external systems.Documentation Index

Concepts
- Sinks — Delivery targets for signals (for example email addresses or HTTP endpoints). Create, list, update, and delete sinks through the sinks endpoints.
- Subscriptions — Rules that select which signals to receive and which sink should receive them. Manage subscriptions with the subscriptions endpoints.
- Listing signals — Retrieve published signals with the list endpoint when you need to inspect or debug traffic.
Configure as code
If you use the Cognite Toolkit, you can represent sinks and subscriptions as YAML resources under asignals/ directory. See the toolkit resource library for supported kinds and examples.
