Event API is not writing an event

[Ganeshmete77]

Hi Team,
I have created a Site Reliability Guardian (SRG) and also set up an event‑based trigger for a workflow.
I am sending a CUSTOM_INFO event using the Dynatrace Events Ingest API. The API call responds with Status OK.
However, when I try to fetch the same event in Notebooks using DQL, it Zero results.
Could you please help me understand why the event is not appearing in DQL even though the API returns OK?
Additionally, I would appreciate suggestions for the best way to trigger an SRG without using a CI/CD pipeline.
Is there a recommended practice (API, workflow, synthetic, automation rule, etc.)?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Below are details for reference.

Hi @Ganeshmete77 , good day.

The correlation ID you got from POST result is not the same value as dt.event.correlation_id. Also, the event.kind property is a default Dynatrace field, and you will not be able to adds custom values to it, same goes to the field event.type.

Try to filter by the event name (title).

fetch events
| filter event.name == "validation.triggered"

try and let us know.

Thanks @dannemca ,
I can see the event with above mentioned filter.
