Event Endpoint Management

Allow more than one entry in spec.listeners and spec.listeners[].groups so a single EventGateway can advertise both an external and an in-cluster endpoint.

The new EventGateway API 11.8.x (events.ibm.com) is really well structured — modeling spec.listeners and spec.listeners[].groups as arrays with per-group endpoint + advertised-address config is exactly the flexibility we were hoping to leverage. W...

Support label-based mapping between registered Event Gateways and Kafka clusters in EEM, so only designated gateways connect to a given cluster

Currently, every Event Gateway registered with an Event Endpoint Management instance receives the configuration for all Kafka clusters defined in that EEM instance, and establishes connections to each of them. There is no mechanism to scope which ...

Extend EGW to support access logging with a customizable set of actions to be logged (e.g. logins, failed logins, subscriptions, event retrievals, ...)

Declarative EEM API - i.e CRs to create published topics etc

EEM has a REST based API today, which can be used to create, update, publish and unpublish Kafka topics. A logical extension to this (and a better fit for CI/CD/GitOps style adoption) would be to offer a declarative approach (using k8s custom reso...

Lack of Programmatic Access Token Lifecycle Management

Current State The EEM Admin API relies on a static bearer token that must be manually retrieved from the EEM Manager UI and stored in a secrets vault. No API capability currently exists to generate, rotate, renew, or refresh these credentials prog...

Absence of an Application Management Admin API

Current State The EEM Admin API endpoint (/admin/subscriptions) does not support the application model introduced in EEM 11.8.0. Applications created through the EEM Portal UI are not exposed through the /admin/subscriptions endpoint. Additionally...
