	"00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000",
)
client.SetHTTPClient(&http.Client{Transport: &http.Transport{
	TLSClientConfig: &tls.Config{InsecureSkipVerify: true},
}})

event1 := hec.NewEvent("event one")
event1.SetTime(time.Now())
event2 := hec.NewEvent("event two")
event2.SetTime(time.Now().Add(-time.Minute))

err := client.WriteBatch([]*hec.Event{event1, event2})
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}
