Documentation Request: List of log.event values in metadata database

[SLAN14]

I’m analyzing Airflow’s metadata database, and while the log table schema is documented, there doesn’t seem to be an official reference for the possible values in the event column (e.g., login, set_running, clear, pause, trigger, etc.).

This would be very useful for observability, audit compliance, and building custom dashboards.

Would it be possible to:

• Add a section in the docs listing the canonical event values, or
• At least point to the source location where they are defined?

Thanks!

Sure. If you want to make a research and prepare such a documetnation, that would be cool. Idealy it should be automatically retrieved from the code.

Airflow is created by > 3000 contributors. And anyone can propose PRs - especially when it comes to documentation, people like you who "want" certain documentation are the perfect candidates to actually do the work, find the right content and make PRs - because maintainers have a lot of assumptions in their heads and they probably wouldn't be able to describe it in the way that people like you would need it.

So if you see the gaps - by all means - do the work and make PR that closes them. Maintainers will be super happy to review them and guide you if you made any mistakes.
