In the Event Endpoint Management catalog, you can browse and discover information about the event endpoints available in your organization. When you log in to Event Endpoint Management, the Event Catalog is your landing page in the Event Endpoint Management UI.
The Catalog
All event endpoints are available in the Event Endpoint Management UI home page (Catalog) and you can use the catalog to find out more about what each event endpoint is used for by clicking the event endpoint name.
The information that is documented for each event endpoint can include the following detail:
- A description of the event data that is available from the endpoint.
- Tags that describe the content of the event source through keywords.
- The number of replicas and partitions a topic has. This information is useful for Kafka application developers planning how their application can consume from the event endpoint.
- Contact information that event source owners can use to communicate with developers responsible for consuming applications.
- Schema details if the event endpoint uses one. Schemas define the structure of the data in a message to ensure that the correct and expected structure is used.
- Sample messages to show what information the event source holds.
-
Sample code snippets for various client types and access instructions to help with setting up your application to consume event data from the selected event endpoint.
Note: The sample code snippets that are provided must be updated with information specific to your client such as your subscription credentials. For more information about configuring a client application to consume from a selected event source, see information about how to set up your applications to consume event data.
Access to the event data from event endpoints (topics) is granted by subscribing to each event endpoint, and connecting to the event endpoint through the Event Gateway. For more information, see how you can subscribe to event endpoints.
Searching the Catalog
You can search for a specific event endpoint within the catalog by clicking the Search icon 
and typing a query. If your query is matched with a word or consecutive words from the following fields, the matched content is returned in the catalog:
- Event endpoint alias
- Event endpoint name
- Description
- Tags
- Contact information
- Schema content
- Schema description
- Sample messages
Partial matches that start with the same consecutive characters as an event endpoint alias or name are also returned.
Exporting event endpoint details
To export an event endpoint as an AsyncAPI document, complete the following steps:
- In the catalog, select the event endpoint that you want to work with. A new window is displayed with more information about the event endpoint.
- Select the event endpoint that you want to export.
- Click Export AsyncAPI.
- Select the version of the AsyncAPI specification to use when exporting the document.
- Click Export.
The event endpoint details are downloaded and saved to your computer. The AsyncAPI document contains the same information about the event endpoint as presented in the Catalog, and can be used in downstream tools to generate code snippets or socialize the event endpoint further.
