Connecting Event Broker Services to Event Portal With a PubSub+ Cloud Connection

If you have a Dedicated Region or Customer-Controlled Region, you can connect your event broker services in the region to Event Portal. The connection enables both runtime configuration from Event Portal and discovering runtime data from your event broker services.

To connect your event broker services to Event Portal:

  • The event broker services must be managed in the same PubSub+ Cloud account.

  • The event broker services must be in Dedicated Regions or Customer-Controlled Regions.

  • The event broker services must be version 10.5 or later.

If you want to connect Event Portal to Kafka event brokers and Confluent schema registries, or to Solace event brokers that don't meet these requirements, or if your security requirements don't allow a direct connection between Event Portal and your event brokers, see Setting Up an External Event Broker with Event Portal Connection.

You connect event broker services to Event Portal using two steps:

  1. Enabling the Event Portal Connection for a Region

  2. Connecting an Event Broker Service to Event Portal

You can also review the status of an Event Portal connection from the Private Regions tab:
