Managing and Deploying Your Connector

You can configure the management and deployment details of your connector. You can choose to use a centralized configuration source for the connector using PubSub+ Connector Manager or configure the source locally.

When you set up your deployment, you can configure the redundancy model (also referred to as leadership election), management metrics, health monitoring, and deployment settings (such as Spring profiles, external libraries, and the consumption of object messages). For information about:

• monitoring whether the connector is running, see Monitoring the Connector’s State
• the connector status as reported via the Spring Boot Actuator health endpoint, see Health
• configuring leader election of the connector in a high-availability deployment, see Redundancy Configuration
• managing workflows using a Spring Boot Actuator endpoint, see Managing Workflows
• using Spring Boot Metrics and Micrometer to manage connector metrics, see Managing Metrics
• securing web endpoints, communication, authentication and authorization, see Security
• access to classes that define object payloads, see Consuming Object Messages
• access to external libraries, see Adding External Libraries
• configuring the connector locally, see Connector Configuration
