        'Authorization': 'Bearer API_TOKEN'  # Replace API_TOKEN with your actual API token
    }

    try:
        response = requests.post(api_url, data=json.dumps(payload), headers=headers)

        if 200 <= response.status_code < 300:
            print('Log event sent successfully!')
        else:
            print('Failed to send log event. Response code:', response.status_code)
    except requests.exceptions.RequestException as error:
