Send-PSRedfishTestEvent

As per the Redfish eventing specification, each Redfish device should support submitting a test event to the listener for testing purposes. This is generally used for validation purposes that the Redfish device can indeed send the events to configured destination and the listener can process the received event messages as desired.

This command invokes the SubmitTestEvent method of the event service.

This command has the following parameters.

Parameter Name	Description	Mandatory?
IPAddress	Specifies the IP address of the Redfish device from which the test event must be sent.	Yes
Credential	Specifies the credentials to authenticate with the Redfish device.	Yes
EventDestination	Specifies the full URI to the event listener.	Yes
EventType	Specifies the type of even to be submitted. Allowed values are StatusChange, ResourceUpdated, ResourceAdded, ResourceRemoved, and Alert. Default is Alert.	No
MessageId	Specifies the MessageId that should be submitted as a part of the test event. This must be related to the EventType. Default is TMP0118.	No
MockEvent	Specifies that the event submitted to the listener should be a mock event and not from a real Redfish device. This is a switch parameter and when used only EventDestination parameter is mandatory.	No
