Post IoT Event#

IoTEventDefinition.PostEvent

Overview#

This operation is used to post an IoT Event whose payload must conform to the schema defined in the corresponding IoT Event Definition.

Setup#

No specific setup is required other than to meet the preconditions of the transaction.

Preconditions#

• The IoT Event Definition exists in the system and is in the Active state.

Sequence of Steps#

To manually post an IoT Event, follow these steps:

1. Open an existing IoT Event Definition (either user-created or system-created).
2. On the IoT Event Definition page, select the Post button on the top ribbon.
3. Optionally, specify an Event Time if the event should be posted with a specific date and time.
4. Select the Application Name. The default value is GUI HTML.
5. Optionally, provide an Application Context.

6. Optionally, select the Data Silo associated with the IoT Event Definition.

   Info

   The Data Silo option is only available with an Enterprise Data Platform license is enabled. For more information, see EDP Connector Installation Process.

7. Optionally, upload a File containing the data to be posted.

8. Enter the JSON payload for the event.

   Missing Property in JSON Payload

   If an event is posted without one or more required properties, the wizard completes successfully but displays a warning. The warning message explicitly identifies the name of the missing required property (for example, #PropertyRequired: #/Values). This warning indicates that the event was published to an error topic. Therefore, if a Data Set is associated with the IoT Event Definition, the event will not be ingested into ClickHouse and will not be available in the corresponding tables.

   

9. Select Post to submit the event.

After the event is posted, the data is available in the Data section of the Data Set Page associated with the selected IoT Event Definition.
