Retrieving the URLs

Event Processing uses OpenShift routes or Kubernetes ingress resources for access to its UI. Find out how to retrieve the URLs for your Event Processing UI as a cluster administrator.

You can use the OpenShift Container Platform web console or CLI to retrieve the login URLs.

  1. Log in to the OpenShift Container Platform web console using your login credentials.
  2. Expand Networking in the navigation on the left, and click Routes.
  3. Locate the route with the name matching your Event Processing instance name. Click into this route and find the server or host address. This is your UI route that you can access to log into Event Processing.

    A cluster administrator can manage access and role rights by following the instructions in managing access and managing roles.

By using the CLI

To retrieve the URL for your Event Processing UI, use the following commands:

  1. Log in to your Kubernetes cluster as a cluster administrator by setting your kubectl context.

  2. Run the following command:

    • On OpenShift:

      oc get routes -n <namespace> -l app.kubernetes.io/name=ibm-eventprocessing

    • On other Kubernetes platforms:

      kubectl get ingress -n <namespace> -l app.kubernetes.io/name=ibm-eventprocessing

    The following is an example output of the oc get routes command, and you use the value from the HOST/PORT column to log in to your UI in a web browser:

    NAME                      HOST/PORT                                                         PATH    SERVICES                 PORT   TERMINATION  WILDCARD

  3. Enter the address in a web browser. Add https:// in front of the HOST/PORT value. For example:

    https:/my-event-processing-ep-myproject.apps.my-cluster.my-domain.com/
  4. Log in to your Event Processing UI from a supported web browser and enter the credentials to go to the Event Processing homepage.
