Event Endpoint Management continues to be enhanced

Event Endpoint Management continues to be available and enhanced as part of IBM's integration platforms.

End of Marketing announcement for IBM Event Automation

Event Streams and Event Processing are deprecated and no enhancements will be provided. Support and security fixes will be provided in line with published support lifecycle policies. Future event-driven solutions that make use of Apache Kafka and Apache Flink will be delivered by IBM Confluent.

For more information, see the support lifecycle transition and software ordering completion announcement.

Managing gateways

When a gateway is deployed and configured to work with an Event Manager instance, it automatically registers and pulls the configuration from that Manager instance.

To find your gateways in Event Endpoint Management, in the navigation pane, click Administration > Event Gateways.

Note: The Admin user role is required to view and edit gateways.

Gateway details

You can use the Event Gateways page to verify that the expected set of gateway instances has been deployed and configured correctly.

The following details are available for each configured gateway instance:

  • The gateway’s unique ID
  • The addresses (hostname and port) client applications will use to access the gateway
  • The last time this gateway interacted with the Event Manager instance (Last connection)
  • The gateway group the gateway belongs to
  • A high level gateway status indication
  • The version of Event Endpoint Management that they were created in.

The status of a gateway is derived through the last connection time. To provide access to event sources, gateways frequently contact the Event Manager instance that they are registered with. If a gateway does not contact the Event Manager instance within the scan interval, a potential problem might exist with the gateway or the network.

Note:

  • For gateways created in Event Endpoint Management 11.4.2 and later, the scan interval is 30 seconds and after three missed contact attempts, the gateway is moved to a warning state.
  • For gateways created in Event Endpoint Management 11.4.1 and earlier, the gateway shows a warning state if it has not contacted the Event Endpoint Management instance within the last 15 minutes.
