Systems and methods described herein are directed towards a flexible event ingestion framework. In some examples, an input source comprising information that identifies a plurality of events may be identified. Additionally, in some examples, an adapter for ingesting the information of the input source may be implemented. At least one additional component for modifying the adapter may be received. The adapter may be modified by implementing the at least one additional component with a transport component and a mapper component as part of ingesting the information. Further, a tuple for at least a first event may be generated based at least in part on the modified adapter, and the tuple may be provided to an event server.
