Custom external events can be posted directly to Observer for monitoring. The following is an example using python and the AMQP python client to create a method that will post a flag for external events to Observer:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import pika
credentials = pika.PlainCredentials('username','password')
connection = pika.BlockingConnection(pika.ConnectionParameters('instance-amqp.perspectium.net',5672,'/',credentials))
channel = connection.channel()
channel.queue_declare()
channel.basic_publish(exchange='',routing_key='psp.in.servicenow',body='{ topic:"monitor", type:"statsx", key:"demo005", name:"transaction_sec", value: "1423"}')
connection.close()
