IBM Event Automation

EEM to abstract producers and consumers from underneath Kafka clusters

The idea is to use EEM as an enabler or booster of Kafka high availability and resilience capabilities. The idea is that EEM serves as an abstraction layer from the underneath kafka clusters for the producers and consumers so that these do not pro...

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...

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

Right now there are OTel metrics in the gateway that give us some information about clients that tried connecting and that connected. The consumption of messages already depends on whether they commit or not. Anyhow, all metric values are aggregat...

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...

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...

Add Sort By Functionality in Event Streams UI

In the Event Streams UI, specifically in the "Consumer groups" menu, numerous Consumer Group IDs are listed. A Consumer Group ID follows the pattern: clientIDDisplayName-eemSASLclientID-GroupIDDisplayName. Each time a Kafka consumer initiates a ne...

Kafka Connect support for RACF/TSS keystores

We have Kafka connect running on Mainframe with JKS keystore to enable SSL connectivity. However we have a challenge to manage the certificates with in Mainframe environment, since currently the Kafka supports the listed keystores(JKS, PLKCS12 and...

Finer grained access control within EEM - for example, allow to disable Kafka cluster menus for authors in EEM.

The EEM UI is fine for the customer, but they do not like the fact that a user with the "author" role can also add or modify a Kafka cluster definition. More generally, being able to control what each type of user can do within EEM is a request (f...

The definition of an OAuth security control should allow to specify a list of scopes.

The customer considers that it is not enough to verify the access and ID tokens from the OAuth provider - the Event Gateway should also be able to verify scopes.
