ArcGIS GeoEvent Server (for Windows) includes two applications, one that can be used to simulate real-time data into GeoEvent Server (GeoEvent Simulator) and one to view a log of GeoEvents processed by GeoEvent Server (GeoEvent Logger). In addition, a utility in the service designer of GeoEvent Manager (GeoEvent Sampler) can be used to sample GeoEvents as they are processed.
GeoEvent Simulator is a Windows application capable of connecting to a TCP/Text input to send simulated event data to a GeoEvent Service. GeoEvent Simulator, as a client, connects to a TCP socket hosted by a Receive Text from a TCP Socket input. Simulated event data is sent as delimited text to the input which can then be processed in a GeoEvent Service.
GeoEvent Logger is a Windows application capable of displaying and logging event records processed by a GeoEvent Service and sent to a TCP/Text output for delivery to external components. GeoEvent Logger hosts TCP sockets to which the Push Text to an External TCP Socket output can connect.
GeoEvent Sampler is a utility in the service designer of GeoEvent Manager that allows you to sample, display, and visualize GeoEvents as they are processed in a GeoEvent Service. After selecting a route (or connection) between elements in a published GeoEvent Service, the sampler window displays a sample of the GeoEvents on that route as either prettified JSON or delimited text.
