Re^3: How to instantaneously automatically save by Corion (Patriarch) on Jan 14, 2024 at 08:15 UTC
The easiest way is to rename the `zfs` and `zpool` commands to something else (`zfs.org`?) and name your new programs `zfs` and `zpool`. Alternatively, set up shell aliases for the users using these commands. Alternatively, learn about what APIs ZFS offers to know about what `zfs` and `zpool` do or change, and listen to these API calls.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

So far there is no public API (Python libzfs bindings is at the mercy of private API). See if a "channel" program (Understanding ZFS Channel Programs by Dru L) would offer anything. Have not used either myself. History of commands -- what OP seems to be wanting -- is available by zpool-history(8) command. There is also zpool-events(8).	[reply]

Thank you very much, Corion. What I want is for my perl program to listen for whenever as soon as any change is made on the ZFS filesystem (if a dataset was created, if a clone was made, well any sort of change on the filesystem) save it immediately in database. So I will go by what you said in your last sentence, thanks again.	[reply]
