NIOS provides the ability to simulate an event for which a notification was created for. Let’s test a notification.

1. Navigate to **Grid** → **Ecosystem** → **Notification**. Click the hamburger  button next to the name of the notification you wish to verify then click Test Rule.

2. Modify test parameters as desired. Click **Test**. Click **View Debug Log** to view the debug log and verify the event was successful. NOTE: You may not see the event reflect in PAN if the appropriate parameters are not set, such as the EAs. Test with a real event to fully validate the whole configuration.
