Configure using a configuration file

Follow the instructions below to configure output WSO2Event event adapter using a configuration file.

  1. Create an XML file with the following output event adaptor configurations. Output event adapter implementation must start with <outputEventAdaptor> as the root element.

    <outputEventAdaptor name="outputWSO2EventAdaptor" statistics="disable"
      trace="disable" type="wso2event" xmlns="http://wso2.org/carbon/eventadaptormanager">
      <property name="username">admin</property>
      <property name="receiverURL">tcp://localhost:7661</property>
      <property name="password">admin</property>
      <property name="authenticatorURL">ssl://localhost:7761</property>
    </outputEventAdaptor>  
  2. Add the XML file to the <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/outputeventadaptors/ directory. Since hot deployment is enabled, you can simply add/remove files to deploy/undeploy to/from the server.  

After an adapter is successfully added, it gets added to the list of adapters displayed under Event Processor Configs in the Configure menu of the product's management console. Click Edit to change its configuration and redeploy it. This opens an XML-based editor allowing you to edit the event adapter configurations from the UI.  Do your modifications and click Update. You can also delete it, enable/disable statistics or enable/disable tracing on it using the provided options in the UI.
