Send a test event to a logging destination

POST /observability-destination/{id}/test

Really delivers one synthetic admin event through the live forwarder and reports the outcome, updating `last_test_at`/`last_test_status`. Works on paused destinations. Optional `config`/`secrets` in the body are merged over the stored ones for this call only — nothing is saved — so edits can be verified before being written. Requires `logging:manage`.

Path Parameters

idstring
required·

Logging destination id (ldst_…).

Request Body

configobject

Non-secret provider settings.

log_typesstring[]

Which slices of the audit trail to forward: tool_call = MCP/tool executions, auth = membership, role, invite and credential events, admin = everything else.

Possible values:
tool_callauthadmin
sitestring

Datadog site.

Possible values:
us1us3us5euap1
tagsstring[]
secretsobject

Write-only credentials, stored encrypted and never returned. Sending secrets REPLACES the whole stored bag, so include every key the provider needs, not just the one you are changing.

api_keystring

Datadog API key — required for datadog.

shared_keystring

Sentinel shared key.

tokenstring

Splunk HEC token.

Response Body

errorstring,null

Failure detail; null when ok is true.

okboolean
statusinteger,null

HTTP status returned by the provider, when there was one.
