Create event elements from JSON input

You can pass a single JSON object to create a single element, or a JSON array of event JSON objects to create multiple elements. If you create a single element, the response includes the URI of the new element in the Location response header, and the response body includes one event JSON object with the format specified by the format parameter. If you create multiple elements, the response includes a JSON array of event JSON objects with the specified format in an order that corresponds to the order of the input data. If no format is specified, the "detail" format will be used by default. If creating a large number of elements in a single request, it is recommended to use the "list" or "name" formats for better performance, when the use case allows it.

Request

POST http://{hostname}:{port}
  /events/?{parameters}
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json

Table 1. Request parameters
Parameter	Type	Required	Description
format	string	false	One of the format options; this parameter determines what information is included in the JSON response. If not specified, or if an unrecognized value is specified, the default format of "detail" will be used.

Table 2. Header parameters
Parameter	Type	Required	Description
Content-Type	`application/json`	true
Accept	`application/json`	true

For the format parameter, use one of the following format options:

list: Primary properties with type and releases
detail: Identical to 'list' format

For details about the full JSON that the server returns when you select one of these formats, see the related resource: event resource.
