Hey everyone, this isn’t an issue, just asking for assistance to learn API basics… I’m trying to retrieve the events from my Graylog Server with the following command :

curl -u \<api\_token\> -H ‘X-Requested-By: cli’ -H ‘Accept: application/json’ -X POST ‘[http://127.0.0.1:9000/api/events/search?pretty=true](http://127.0.0.1:9000/api/events/search?pretty=true)’

Where my api\_token is a token I generated with my superadmin account, who created the alerts and can see the events.

Now is my problem, I don’t understand how to use the model to filter what I want to get. Ideally, I’d like to retrieve the events from the last 10 minutes, with the event message and the source.

Can someone please give me an example ? I think I just need to see what it looks like first, then I’ll be able to adapt myself after.

Thanks! 🙂
