HTTP::EVENT

Expect an event to be published by your distributed systems. You can learn more about how to publish an event by referring to our documentation on Events.

info

When viewing test results in both the Tesmon CLI and UI, the eventBody will be masked with "***" to protect the sensitive data. Please note that Tesmon never stores actual data in its cloud and only uses it for processing within the Test run engine in the customer's environment. The actual data is discarded after processing to ensure that it remains secure and private.
