edx-event-routing-backends 5.1.0

Various backends for receiving edX LMS events.

Various backends for retransmitting edX LMS events to external services.

Overview

event-routing-backends contains plugins for the event-tracking app that is installed as a part of edx-platform. It provides a backend that can take events and re-transmit them to external services. It also provides some new processers that can convert edx-platform events into other formats.

Currently work to support xAPI and Caliper event formats is in progress.

See OEP 26 for background; the xAPI and Caliper subdocuments in particular include a specification of how LMS events will be translated to the format of the respective protocols.
