Generate evenly spaced points along spatial line / polyline

I've attached a simple spatial line feature which is about 28km long. How can I easily generate evenly spaced point features along this line? For example, create a point at the start point of the line, and then at each 1km until the end of the feature?

 

I know I can explode a polyline into its point nodes using poly-split, and I suppose I could do some trigonometry to further subdivide these straight line node-to-node edges to position a point exactly 1km apart. However that sounds like a lot of work.

 

Is there an easier way to create points along a line? I think in ArcGIS this is trivial, but I appreciate comparing Alteryx with ArcGIS is like comparing apples and pears.
