Error

$ datadog-agent status | grep event
    event_example
        Check event_example not found in Catalog
        unable to import module 'event_example': unexpected indent (event_example.py, line 1)
    Traces: 0 payloads, 0 traces, 0 events, 0 bytes

Solution

Correct the indent of the python file as below;

file name – event_example.py

from datadog_checks.base import AgentCheck

__version__ = "1.0.0"

class MyClass(AgentCheck):
        def check(self, instance):
                self.event(
                {
                    "timestamp": time.time(),
                    "event_type": "Error",
                    "msg_title": "Example Event",
                    "msg_text": "This is an example event coming from Datadog.",
                    "alert_type": "error",
                }
            )
