Checking the Progress of Event Mesh Updates

The process of creating, updating, or deleting an event mesh can take up to five minutes. The time varies based on various factors (e.g., size of the event mesh, the cloud providers and regions of your event broker service, network connectivity speeds, etc.).

You can view the progress of event mesh creation from the Mesh Manager: Event Mesh page. Tiles for newly created event meshes appear grayed out, with a status of Creating and a progress bar at the bottom of the tile.

When the event mesh is created, the tile becomes active, and the status updates to Running. In some cases, you may need to refresh the view or discover the event mesh if you've just created it. For more information, see Discovering New Event Meshes and Refreshing the View for an Event Mesh.

Discovering New Event Meshes

Refreshing the View for an Event Mesh

After you create, add, or remove links from an event mesh, you can refresh the visual representation of the event mesh to see any link or topology changes. Only a single scan can occur at a time. To refresh the view for your event mesh, perform these steps:

1. Log in to the PubSub+ Cloud Console if you have not done so yet. The URL to access the Cloud Console differs based on your authentication scheme. For more information, see Logging In to the PubSub+ Cloud Console.
