Populate a Seq instance with sample data

It would be great for demonstrations, exploring the Seq features etc to be able to populate an instance of Seq with sample data.

I would imagine it should be possible to do it from some admin menu, or through the CLI.

Ideally it would insert in Seq :

• tons of events with a variety of SourceContext, MachineName, AppName etc … but enough in common to show correlation and similar stuff
• with a property that allows to distinguish them from real data (an arbitrary property), and possibly allows to delete it easily

RavenDb has a similar feature, and it is super helpful to do demos or simply learn about the tool.

seqcli sample setup (create signals and dashboards) and seqcli sample ingest (stream in high-quality sample events) is now on dev! 😎

Great to finally move this forward, it’s been on the radar so long - if you have a chance to check it out, we’d love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks for the suggestion - we have one of these internally, definitely would be handy for others if we could find a way to bundle/release it 👍
