# Subscribing to events via Websocket
Tendermint emits different events, which you can subscribe to via
[Websocket](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebSocket). This can be useful
for third-party applications (for analysis) or for inspecting state.
[List of events](https://godoc.org/github.com/tendermint/tendermint/types#pkg-constants)
To connect to a node via websocket from the CLI, you can use a tool such as
[wscat](https://github.com/websockets/wscat) and run:
```sh
wscat ws://127.0.0.1:26657/websocket
```
You can subscribe to any of the events above by calling the `subscribe` RPC
method via Websocket along with a valid query.
```json
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"method": "subscribe",
"id": 0,
"params": {
"query": "tm.event='NewBlock'"
}
}
```
Check out [API docs](https://docs.tendermint.com/main/rpc/) for
more information on query syntax and other options.
You can also use tags, given you had included them into DeliverTx
response, to query transaction results. See [Indexing
transactions](../app-dev/indexing-transactions.md) for details.
## ValidatorSetUpdates
When validator set changes, ValidatorSetUpdates event is published. The
event carries a list of pubkey/power pairs. The list is the same
Tendermint receives from ABCI application (see [EndBlock
section](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/blob/main/spec/abci/abci++_methods.md#endblock) in
the ABCI spec).
Response:
```json
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 0,
"result": {
"query": "tm.event='ValidatorSetUpdates'",
"data": {
