Managing Event Gateways

When an Event 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.

Event Gateway details

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

The following details are available for each configured Event Gateway instance:

  • The gateway’s unique ID
  • The addresses (hostname and port) client applications use to access the gateway
  • The last time this gateway interacted with the Event Manager instance (Last connection)
  • The gateway group that this gateway belongs to
  • A high-level gateway status indication

The status of an Event Gateway is derived through the last connection time with the Event Manager instance. The gateways contact the Event Manager instance that they are registered with every 30s (default) to retrieve configuration. If an Event Gateway misses 3 of these scan intervals, then it is moved to a warning state in the UI.
