Two new REST API unstable endpoints are available for querying historical Event Console events:

  • GET /domain-types/historical_event/collections/all — list historical events, with optional filters for site, host, application, state, phase, event IDs, and a Livestatus query expression.
  • GET /objects/historical_event/{event_id} — retrieve a single historical event by ID and site.

Each event response groups all recorded history entries (actions, phase transitions, and state changes) chronologically under a single event ID, alongside stable fields such as host, rule ID, IP address, and syslog facility/priority.
