Events api v2

gdp-d — Wed, 10 Apr 2024 15:06:07 GMT

I have used dynatrace events api and got the follow response code

{ "reportCount": 1, "eventIngestResults": [ { "correlationId": "59c8a191229f84df", "status": "OK" } ] }

But I am unable to see any updates in logs and events dashboard in dynatrace.Am I looking in the correct place or are the custom events are logged somewhere else.For reference this request body I have used.

{ "eventType": "CUSTOM_INFO", "title": "Loadtest start", "timeout": 30, "properties": { "Tool": "MyLoadTool", "Load per minute": "100", "Load pattern": "production" } }

Are you and admin of the tool? If not then you will need to be given access to the default_events bucket where these custom events are stored. We ran into this same type scenario where an app team could not pull the data via dql.

I recommend that you assign the custom information to an entity (service, host, process_group, etc).

{ "eventType": "CUSTOM_INFO", "title": "Loadtest start", "entitySelector": "type(service),entityName.equals(SERVICE-NAME)", "timeout": 30, "properties": { "Tool": "MyLoadTool", "Load per minute": "100", "Load pattern": "production" } }

what dql are you running? there are several ways of getting the data via dql. you can run something like the below, just as example

fetch events
| filter matchesValue(affected_entity_ids, "serviceID")

fetch events
| filter matchesValue(event.name, "Loadtest start")
