Task | Considerations and Dependencies |
---|---|
Add a REST, MQTT, or Kafka source. | Before Listener can ingest REST, MQTT, or Kafka data, you must create a source, then a target. |
Add and start a target. | Before creating a target, make sure the administrator created a system. Only a source owner or administrator can create a target for a source. The target type and configuration determine how Listener writes data to a destination system.
If you lock a target, you cannot edit or delete it. You must unlock a target to edit or delete it. |
Add a broadcast stream target. | A broadcast stream is a type of target that enables you to connect source data to external apps through a WebSocket server end-point. Only a source owner or administrator can create a broadcast stream for a source. When you create a broadcast stream, the stream starts automatically. |
