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...

EEM CLI for rest API usage and AI integration

Usage of the various APIs with eem backend requires a good bit of knowledge as well as a little finickety to setup using tools like curl or https request libraries.We can encode a lot of this setup into a simple CLI tool for development or for cus...

Allow group-based cluster maintainer assignment instead of individual ownership when onboarding Event Streams clusters in EEM

The current model associates a cluster maintainer with an individual user, and only the designated owner of the cluster configuration is authorized to add or manage topics. While this provides clear ownership, it also creates a dependency on a sin...

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 ...

Support configuring tolerations for the EEM operator pod in the ibm-eem-operator Helm chart

The ibm-eem-operator Helm chart currently allows node affinity to be configured for the operator pod, but provides no value for specifying tolerations. This makes it impossible to schedule the operator onto dedicated node pools that are reserved u...

EEM to provide MCP tools, resources, for Agentic interaction and discovery of streams of events

It would be valuable for EEM to expose a set of MCP tools so agents (like IBM Bob) can discover the Catalog of events exposed by EEM for use by application developers, help topic owners document their Kafka estate in the first instance, as well as...

EEM Admin API Access Token is strictly bound to a specific user identity

Token is strictly bound to a specific user identity The token is strictly associated with the identity of the user who generated it, apparently including the audit trail. This has two issues - only this user has to specifically create it and manag...

Business relevant audit logging for EEM

We need to monitor user activity in the system (this is enforced by the law). But audit logging in the EEM is very technical and suitable tor this purpose. It generate very high amount of records for every business relevant operation. I see, that ...

Notify subscribed applications when event contracts change to prevent consumer breakages

In event-driven systems, multiple teams often consume events from shared Kafka topics that are exposed through Event Endpoint Management. Over time, producers may evolve event schemas or update the event contract. Evolving these contracts safely c...

Add native support for HTTP/REST ingestion (POST to Topic) directly within the EEM Gateway with built-in mTLS and Basic Authentication.

Why is it useful? Currently, EEM manages Kafka traffic natively but requires a separate, unmanaged "Kafka Bridge" deployment to handle HTTP producers. This creates two critical gaps for enterprise customers: The Encryption Gap: The Kafka Bridge do...
