I'm trying to figure out if/how it is possible to use Broker::Data in an
event handler as follows:
event foo(x: Broker::Data)
{
print x;
}
I'm trying to send an event via the Python bindings:
event = broker.bro.Event("foo", broker.Data(42))
endpoint.publish("/test", event)
However, Bro complains:
warning: failed to convert remote event 'foo' arg #0, got integer, expected
record
I tried both
event = broker.bro.Event("foo", 42)
and a wrapped version
event = broker.bro.Event("foo", broker.Data(42))
and even
event = broker.bro.Event("foo", broker.Data(broker.Data(42)))
but it seems that nesting is not possible.
The use case for having a Broker::Data in the Bro event handler is that
the structure of the data is varying at runtime (similar to JSON).
