Runtime Event Manager

Runtime Event Manager enables you to create models of your event-driven architecture (EDA) using objects created in Designer or runtime data collected from your event brokers.

What you do in Runtime Event Manager depends on how you are using Event Portal:

• As a design-first tool to create, model, and manage your EDAs.

• As a discover-first tool to audit existing EDAs and model updates before you implement them.

Which functionality you use depends on your preferences, security requirements, and the current maturity level of your existing EDA.

If you are using Runtime Event Manager as a design-first tool, you:

• Create and manage modeled event meshes to design your event driven architecture.

• Add event brokers, applications, and events to modeled event meshes so your model mirrors your runtime.

• Create and manage configuration templates to help users set Solace event broker queue configurations and client profile names in applications.

If you are using Runtime Event Manager as a discover-first tool, you:

• Discover runtime data from event brokers.

• Audit runtime data against your modeled event meshes to ensure your runtime matches your design.

• Import Solace queues and Kafka consumer groups, topics, and subjects into Designer as applications, events, and schemas.

Using Runtime Event Manager

Only users with the Administrator and Event Portal Manager roles can use the full functionality of Runtime Event Manager. Event Portal Users can see the list of modeled event meshes and can view or manage modeled event meshes if they have been given additional access to the environment that the modeled event mesh resides in. For more information, see Setting User Access to Environments.

To open Runtime Event Manager, 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.
2. On the navigation bar, select Runtime Event Manager .
3. In Runtime Event Manager, perform one of the following actions:
   • Select the environment that you want to create or manage modeled event meshes in.
   • Click Create Modeled Event Mesh to start creating a new modeled event mesh.
   • Select an existing modeled event mesh to manage it.
   • Click More Actions > Manage Event Management Agents to set up and manage Event Management Agents to connect Event Portal to operational event brokers.
   • Click More Actions > Manage Configuration Templates to create or manage templates to configure applications for Solace event brokers.

Using Runtime Data to Create a Modeled Event Mesh

If you already have mature event brokers but you're getting started using Event Portal, you can use Event Portal as a discover-first tool to collect© data from your operational event brokers in the runtime to add objects to Designer and build a modeled event mesh in Runtime Event Manager. This process involves performing several tasks in Runtime Event Manager:

1. Create a new modeled event mesh.
2. Add event brokers to the modeled event mesh. Kafka modeled event meshes support only a single event broker.
3. Set up runtime data discovery for the event brokers you added to the modeled event mesh.
4. Scan the event brokers to discover runtime data.
5. View the audit results for the modeled event mesh.
6. Import runtime objects from the audit results.
