Create Event - BlinkOps Documentation

The ingestion of custom events consumes Davis Data Units (DDUs) from the events pool.

Basic Parameters

Parameter	Description
End Time	The end time of the event, in UTC milliseconds. If not set, the start time plus timeout is used.
Event Type	The type of the event.
Start Time	The start time of the event, in UTC milliseconds. If not set, the current timestamp is used. Depending on the event type, the start time must not lie in the future more than 5 minutes for trigger events and 7 days for info events.
Title	The title of the event.

Advanced Parameters

Parameter	Description
Entity Selector	The entity selector, defining a set of Dynatrace entities to be associated with the event. Only entities that have been active within the last 24 hours can be selected. If not set, the event is associated with the environment (`dt.entity.environment`) entity.
Timeout	The timeout of the event, in minutes. If not set, 15 is used. The timeout will automatically be capped to a maximum of 360 minutes (6 hours). Problem-opening events can be refreshed and therefore kept open by sending the same payload again.
