Send an event to the database (the sendevent script is in src/sendevent/):
python sendevent.py localhost:8000 /httpevent actor=bob action=submitanswer object=problem5
Connect to the database, and see what events are there:
$ mongo MongoDB shell version: 2.0.4 connecting to: test > show dbs ... modules_dump_to_db ... > use modules_dump_to_db switched to db modules_dump_to_db > show collections event_log system.indexes > db.event_log.find() [ should show all events sent to database ]
