Does GeoEvent Simulator have a headless mode?

GaryLSheppardJr — Thu, 02 Mar 2023 21:16:00 GMT

I have a development scenario in which I would like to run GeoEvent Simulator without the GUI, so that I can run it automatically. Is there a way to run GeoEvent Simulator in headless mode, such as on the command line, without any user interaction required?

If you open a command-line window and change directory to where the GeoEventSimulator.exe is found (C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Server\GeoEvent is the default) you can run the simulator from a command line with a variety of arguments. Executing the command GeoEventSimulator.exe --help will display the arguments in a Windows dialog.
