Overview​

Here is an overview of the Event Monitors with major UI elements highlighted and tagged.

Subscribing to Channels​

Click on the Subscribe button which opens the below dialog. Select the Event Type and Event Name and click Subscribe button.

If you want to replay past events, then select the appropriate value in Replay input.

caution

You need to pay attention to the number of events delivered from Salesforce as there is an Org wide limit for 24 hours as well as the monthly limit. If you’re replaying from a channel that deals with a huge number of events, it is event more critical that you do you replay all events instead replay from specific replay id.

Unsubscribing from Channels​

To unsubscribe click on the Unsubscribe -> Unsubscribe All or Unsubscribe -> <Channel> as appropriate. The App will prompt you to confirm if you're unsubscribing from all and then unsubscribes.

Once you unsubscribe, all events received will still be available in the grid for you to examine and analyze.

Clearing the Events​

To clear the events, click on the Trash icon in the toolbar. It will prompt you to confirm and upon confirmation, will remove the events from the grid.

Publishing Event​

info

Custom Platform Events and Generic Events are type of events you can publish into. Generic Events are legacy, hence Brobench supports publishing only Platform Events

To publish an event, click on the Publish button in the toolbar. It should show the below dialog.

When you select a Platform Event, the App will show the form with the fields that are available in the event schema.

Click on the Json tab to view the Event request in JSON format. You can edit the JSON and click on Publish.

Keep in Mind

  • Changes you make in the JSON will not be reflected in the form

  • Copy as Apex will copy the Apex code to publish the event only from the Details tab

  • You don't need to be subscribed to any channel in Brobench to be able to publish. Subscribing and Publishing are two different things. However, if you’re actively subscribing to the channel you’re publishing into, then that event should appear in the grid.

View Events Usage​

Click on the View Usage which shows the below dialog with Org Events Daily Usage as well as Org Limits.
