I simply need to be able to run a command when a dns zone is deleted. Pretty basic. Any suggestions on how I can make this happen?
You can create custom hookable events to use with the Standardized hooks system:
A little more direction on how this could solve my use case would be appreciated. The example is pretty vague and I don't see any info in the hooks section about dns zones.You can create custom hookable events to use with the Standardized hooks system:

But ultimately you can write a standardized hook to run when a "hookable event" has occurred.
All hookable events are comprised of three main attributes:
But ultimately you can write a standardized hook to run when a "hookable event" has occurred.
All hookable events are comprised of three main attributes:
- category — The event's logical grouping within cPanel & WHM.
- event — The event that cPanel & WHM performs.
- stage — The location of the trigger that runs the hook action code, relative to the event.
I am just wanting to run a curl command when a zone is deleted so i can delete the zone on the slave. Zones are created/updated with AFXR, which obviously doesn't handle deletions. Maybe hooks isn't the right way to go? Whatever is the simplest to setup.
Hello @MACscr 
1. The quickest way to see if an event is hookable is to enable the following setting for the Standardized Hooks - Debug Mode option under the Development tab in WHM >> Tweak Settings:
Once this is enabled, perform the action you want to hook into using either cPanel or Web Host Manager, and then monitor the /usr/local/cpanel/logs/error_log output to identify the hook action. The following tutorial includes some helpful information:

2. Hooks do not exist for all events, and DNS zone deletion is one example of an event without a corresponding hook. I recommend voting for and adding a comment to the following feature request if you'd like to see a hook for DNS zone management (add/edit/delete):
3. One alternative to explore is the use of a custom dnsadmin plugin. We document more information along with an example on the link below:

Let me know if this helps.
Thanks!

Debug mode is on. The system displays information about every stage for every hookable event, even if no hooks exist for that stage.Once this is enabled, perform the action you want to hook into using either cPanel or Web Host Manager, and then monitor the /usr/local/cpanel/logs/error_log output to identify the hook action.
