Enabling SEMP Over the Message Bus

You can configure event broker services to allow client applications to make SEMP requests over the message bus using defined topics. Enabling this option allows clients to run Show User EXEC commands on the Message VPN for your event broker service. By default, the SEMP Request Over Message Bus option is disabled for enhanced security and to keep your SEMP Show commands hidden.

You may want to enable SEMP over the message bus to allow other teams, such as your application development teams to use SEMP Show commands without providing a higher access level. Messaging applications that use APIs can only view your settings without changing them. You may also want to allow access to SEMP Show commands to a new connector that you're connecting to your event broker service. This connector can then read the backlog for the queues that it connects to.

Mission Control Managers can enable SEMP show commands, as well as other SEMP commands using the Message VPN advanced settings in Broker Manager.
