Event ingest on OneAgent localhost interface answers "forbidden"

Platform Open Q&A

Hi dear community members,

I was very happy to see this feature coming with OA 1.269 (https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/release-notes-oneagent-sprint-269#enabled-event-ingest-on-oneagent-localhost-interface).

It took a while for me to test it, so I ended up testing it on trial SaaS Dynatrace environment after enabling it on environment level (Settings >> Extension Execution Controller >> Enable local HTTP Metric, Logs and Events Ingest API).

However, it works just 50%:

- I can inject metrics

- I get forbidden then I try it for events

I use VSC for injection.

Working request:

POST  http://localhost:14499/metrics/ingest HTTP/1.1content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
cpu.temperature,cpu=1 55

Answer:

HTTP/1.1 202 Accepted Content-Type: application/json Server: EEC Connection: close Content-Length: 62

{ “error”: null, “linesOk”: 1, “linesInvalid”: 0 }

Failing request:

POST  http://localhost:14499/events/ingest HTTP/1.1content-type: application/json; charset=utf-8
{“eventType”: “INFO”, “title”: “Test”}

Answer:

HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden Content-Type: text/plain Server: EEC Connection: close Content-Length: 9 Forbidden

any idea? Has anybody manage to make it work? I was unable to find any documentation for this in DT docs…

Thanks in advance!

Hey @ingridat ,

the API is exactly the same as with Events v2 API. I believe you have the endpoint incorrect, it should be /v2/events/ingest

Here is a more complex example using curl:

curl http://localhost:14499/v2/events/ingest -XPOST -d '{ "eventType": "CUSTOM_INFO", "title": "Loadtest start", "timeout": 30, "entitySelector": "type(HOST),entityName.equals(myhost)", "properties": { "Tool": "MyLoadTool", "Load per minute": "100", "Load pattern": "production" } }' -H "Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8" -v
Note: Unnecessary use of -X or --request, POST is already inferred.
*   Trying 127.0.0.1...
* TCP_NODELAY set
* Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 14499 (#0)
> POST /v2/events/ingest HTTP/1.1
> Host: localhost:14499

> Accept: */*

Thanks @Julius_Loman,

Now (with right endpoint) works like a charm :slightly_smiling_face:

Stupid me… Thanks a lot!
