About Custom event

CommunityUser — Mon, 27 Nov 2017 07:27:20 GMT

Have a requirement:
When error-checker in source code check out expect error need send a email to notify us.

Maybe I can use custom events: send a post request with some paramers(according custom events document)

But I think the way is not safety:
1st: the post request is "http" not "https"
2ed: the request will include account and password (not security)

Could have other way able to implement this reqirment?

Thanks

attach to custom events template:

curl -X POST --user user1@customer1:secret 'http://demo.appdynamics.com/controller/rest/applications/5/events?severity=INFO&summary=test1&eventtype=CUSTOM&customeventtype=mycustomevent&propertynames=key1&propertynames=key2&propertyvalues=value1&propertyvalues=value'

but -user user1@customer1:secret

user1 : what's mean

custimer1: account . right?

secret: password . right?

And I only know two data: account of login and password

Hi Agera,

The user1 can be replaced by the username where you login into the controller UI. Please find more details in below docs

Thanks,
