    ]);

    $headers = [
        'Content-Type: application/json',

    ];

    $ch = curl_init($apiUrl);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'POST');
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $payload);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);

    $response = curl_exec($ch);

    if ($httpCode >= 200 && $httpCode < 300) {
        echo 'Log event sent successfully!';
    } else {
