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...

Stop Event Streams instance

I believe it would be beneficial for many customers, certainly mine, to be able to stop their Event Streams instances for many reasons: 1. The customer may require to stop their Event Streams instances so that they can undergo maintenance (at Open...

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...
