Verifying that events are posting correctly

You can set preferences to specify how the posting is handled on the receiving side.

1. Post events to a file such as /tmp/events on the web server host.
2. Create a script.
   URL: http://10.1.1.11/postOPSCevents.php

   
   <?php
     file_put_contents( '/tmp/events', print_r ( $_POST,true ), FILE_APPEND );
   ?>
   

3. Deploy the script. You might need to restart the web server.
4. Launch a logged event, such as an OpsCenter restart or garbage compaction from Dashboard > Cluster > List View.
   Output to /tmp looks something like this:

   
   Array
   ( [api_source_ip ] => 67.169.50.240
      [target_node ] => None
      [event_source ] => OpsCenter
      [user ] => None
      [ time ] => 1311025598851602
      [action ] => 20
      [message ] => Garbage Collecting node 50.1.1.24
          [level ] => 1
          [source_node ] => 50.1.1.24
          [level_str ] => INFO
   )
