After browsing the available topics and discovering the event sources you want to use in your application, you will need to configure your client applications to connect to the Event Gateway through which the application can consume from the selected event sources. You can use the snippets provided for each topic, and you will need the access credentials you requested to the topic.
Configuring a client
Access to events in Event Endpoint Management is managed by the Event Gateway. Configure your client applications to connect to the Event Gateway by using standard Kafka client configuration options.
The way you provide the configuration settings to your client varies from client to client. However, configure the following settings for each client:
Bootstrap servers: The set of Event Gateway Server addresses that provide access to a topic can be found in the Catalog page for that topic, in the Server table. More than one address can be used, when separated by commas in your client configuration.Security mechanism: Set asSASL_SSL. This is the only available option.SSL configuration: The Event Gateway only exposes a TLS endpoint for clients to connect to. Per Gateway endpoint address, a.pemcertificate can be downloaded to allow clients to be configured with the expected client certificate to trust.SASLcredentials : UpdateSASL mechanism,SASL username, andSASL passwordwith the values retrieved when subscribing to the event source.Topic name: The name of the event source (topic) you want your application to consume from. The name is displayed in the Catalog table under the Topic name column and as the heading of the Catalog detail page when viewing more information about a topic.
