Event Generator

[George18]

Hi 

during the class we had a tool called Event Generator. This tool would allow is to generate fake events for testing.

Does anyone know how we can obtain this tool?

Thanks

Hey,

This only comes with the lab instance and not regular instances.

Raise a case in Now Learning and you will be given access to an lab instance with the required event simulators, but it won't be available with your customer instance

Mark my answer as correct, If I resolved your query.

Hi Aman,

thank you for your quick reply.

Our instructor mentioned that she would send us the tool to be able to use it on our environment. Unfortunetly I never received her email and I have no way of contacting her.

That is the reason why I posted this questio in this foru,

thanks

There are other way to simulate events too.

I use POSTMAN or REST API EXPLORER to generate events using POST method.

After that all works fine.

Sample event is -

{
"source":"Postman",
"node":"linuxserver2",
"type":"Host down",
"resource":"Host Down",
"metric_name":"Host Unavaiability",
"severity":"Critical",
"description":"Host Event:-linux server linuxserver2 down"
}
