Sending Multiple Events Using a File

You can insert all the data for a particular event stream to a CSV file including values separated by an appropriate separator (e.g. comma, slash, etc). You need to enter a new dataset for a new event, after a newline character. For example, the following CSV file includes data for four events.

Use either 'true' or 'false' as values for boolean type attributes that are defined in an event stream, when sending events via the event simulator.
