Testing destinations

{: #en-test-destination}

Maintaining the health and integrity of your connections is paramount. Making sure that your destinations deliver events reliably and the connection to the third-party apps is always up to date, is vital. To verify that the connection to your destination is correct, you can run a test. {: shortdesc}

Currently the following destinations support this functionality:

  1. Slack
  2. PagerDuty
  3. ServiceNow
  4. Microsoft® Teams
  5. IBM Cloud Code Engine
  6. IBM Cloud Object Storage
  7. Webhook
  8. App Configuration

Before you begin

{: #en-test-destination-prereqs}

Before you can start testing your destinations, you must have the following prerequisites in place:

  • A valid destination configuration.
  • Access to the {{site.data.keyword.en_short}} console or the valid credentials for the API calls.

Testing your destination

{: #en-test-destinations}

  1. Go to the {{site.data.keyword.en_short}} console.

  2. Click the Destinations tab.

  3. For the destination that you want to test, click the overflow menu Overflow Menu and then select Test. Wait for the test to finish.

  4. When the test is completed, you are presented with the results. Review your results. The results typically include the following information:

    • Status: Whether the test is successful or failed.
    • Response Code: If there is a test failure, the response code from the end destination client is returned.
    • Response Message: If there is a test failure, the response message from the end destination client is returned.
    • Destination Activity: If the test is successful, you see that a test event is delivered to the desired destination, which will create a new message in the case of Slack, webhook and Microsoft® Teams, a new incident in the case of PagerDuty and ServiceNow, a new invoke in the case of {{site.data.keyword.codeenginefull_notm}}, and a new object is created under a provided bucket in the case of {{site.data.keyword.cos_full_notm}}.
