Configure data egress endpoints

Use the data egress endpoint settings to add, remove, or update CONNECT data services endpoints for event data.

Add or edit a data egress endpoint

1. Do one of the following:

   • To create a new Data Egress endpoint, select Add.

   • To edit an endpoint, select an endpoint from the list.

2. If you are creating a new egress endpoint, in the Id field, enter a unique identifier for the endpoint.

   If you are editing an endpoint, Id is read-only and cannot be changed.

3. In the Endpoint field, enter an CONNECT data services destination (namespace) that accepts event messages.

   The value entered must comprise a well-formed HTTP or HTTPS endpoint string similar to the following: https://[CONNECTdataservicesDomain]/api/v1/Tenants/[tenant ID]/Namespaces/[Namespace Guid]

   The CONNECT data services domain includes the region and the domain. For example, US West implementations would use uswe.datahub.connect.aveva.com while Northern Europe would use euno.datahub.connect.aveva.com.

   The namespace is configured in CONNECT data services. The namespace maps to a unique folder for the specified tenant (account). Once configured, the namespace should not be modified. For more information on CONNECT data services tenants and namespaces, refer to the CONNECT data services online help.

   Note: The Namespace Guid can be verified using the CONNECT data services API Console. To look up a guid using the console, in the URI field, append the /Namespaces path with a forward slash (/). The URI path automatically displays a list of available guids. For more information on how to use the CONNECT data services API Console, refer to the CONNECT data services online help.
   
   
   

4. In the Client Id field, enter the unique client identifier to authenticate with the CONNECT data services endpoint.

5. In the Client Secret field, enter the client secret for the Client Id.

   Note: The Client Secret is not saved and must be re-entered each time the configuration settings are updated.

   The values for Client Id and Client Secret are configured in AVEVA CONNECT data services. Note that the Client ID used must be assigned Tenant Contributor or Tenant Administrator roles, which provide write permissions within the namespace by default. For more information on setting up AVEVA CONNECT clients, refer to the CONNECT data services online help.

6. (Optional) In the Token Endpoint field, enter an AVEVA CONNECT token from an alternative endpoint.

7. Select Validate Certificate to enable Events to CONNECT to validate the certificate of the AVEVA CONNECT endpoint.

   Note: AVEVA strongly recommends only disabling certificate validation for testing purposes.

8. Select Validate to verify the Egress Endpoint settings.

9. Select Configure to configure the Data Egress Endpoint.

   Note: Egress endpoints can be deleted. To delete an endpoint, select the endpoint to be removed in the Egress Endpoint list, and then select Delete.
