On an MPGW or a WSP, I want to be able to configure that the persistent backside connection should be closed after X amount of requests have been sent through that connection. I can already do this for the frontside by setting the "Maximum persist...

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...

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.

Configurability of EEM Admin API Access Token lifetime

Hello, we need to transfer assets (topics, options, etc.) across environments (from INT to ACC), for that we need to use the AdminAPI (export Clusters, EventSources and Options from INT and create them in ACC) as part of a CI/CD pipeline. The only...

Consistent technique for mirroring images for an air-gapped cluster - OpenShift and CPs

Currently Redhat recommends oc -mirror for replicating images for gapped install. CP4I recommends a different tool and as a result customers have to install/support two different toolset to mirror images for air-gapped install. Would like a consis...

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...

Provide an interface to test a published option within the EEM UI

The customer would like to be able to test a published option directly within the EEM UI, browse messages for a consumer option and send a new message for a producer option. The EEM catalog could provide a simple test interface for options.

The Event Gateway should allow to create a global transaction ID or correlation ID as a Kafka message header.

The customer would like to be able to inject a global transaction ID or a correlation ID into Kafka messages (Kafka headers) via the Event Gateway - this is for monitoring transactions end to end in ELK for instance. It could be implemented as a d...

The customer is interested by EEM in order to publish event endpoints within API Connect (APIC Reserved Instance on IBM Cloud). They would expect to be able to see analytics in APIC about asynch APIs as well.
