Sensu trigger event manually

Question

Sensu says: A Sensu event is raised when a test result indicates a state change.

Is it possible to create a custom event that is not the result of validation?

The Sensu API does not have a command to create an event: https://sensuapp.org/docs/latest/api-events .

Yes, but he will check Uchiwa - even though he is not defined in sensu.

See this page: https://sensuapp.org/docs/0.16/external_result_input

On the client (linux) I ran;

echo '{ "name": "my_check", "output": "some output", "status": 0 }' > /dev/tcp/localhost/3030

And it magically appeared in Uchiwa under this list of customer checks.

Then I ran it again when the status field is set to 1:

echo '{ "name": "my_check", "output": "some output", "status": 1 }' > /dev/tcp/localhost/3030

Uchiwa .
