Custom Events Policy and Actions

[Dean.Moses]

Good day,

I am having a problem with generating a custom event via a POST request that I am doing.

I suspect that the elements that I am using are not entirely correct though and just need some pointers on what to tweak so that I can get it to work.

POST URL:

“https://appd.controller.urlXXX/controller/rest/applications/XXX/events?severity=ERROR&summary= Application Stopped_Test&eventtype=CUSTOM&customeventtype=D_Test&comment=Please_start_application”

The response indicates that the event was successfully created: “Successfully created the event id:6665520987”, but when I check in AppD under the events dashboard, I see zero events. However, when I do not specify the event type and custom event, I am able to view the custom event in AppD.

It seems that the “eventtype” and customeventtype properties are the problem, any Ideas?

Regards,

Dean

A good colleague of mine, @Mario.Morelli  reminded me that the Custom filter needs to be enabled. This will display all of the custom events, thanks to Mario:-)

So the POST request is indeed correct!
