Last Updated:Dec 11, 2023

This topic describes how to create an event stream whose event provider is ApsaraMQ for Kafka in the EventBridge console.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. Log on to the EventBridge console. In the left-side navigation pane, click Event Streams.

  2. In the top navigation bar, select a region and click Create Event Stream.

  3. On the Create Event Stream page, configure the Task Name and Description parameters and follow the on-screen instructions to configure other parameters. Then, click Save. The following section describes the parameters:

    • Task Creation

      1. In the Source step, set the Data Provider parameter to Message Queue for Apache Kafka and follow the on-screen instructions to configure other parameters. Then, click Next Step. The following table describes the parameters.

      2. Parameter

        Description

        Example

        Region

        The region where the ApsaraMQ for Kafka instance resides.

        China (Beijing)

        Message Queue for Apache Kafka Instance

        The ApsaraMQ for Kafka instance on which messages are produced.

        MQ_INST_115964845466****_ByBeUp3p

        Topic

        The topic in which messages are produced on the ApsaraMQ for Kafka instance.

        topic

        Group ID

        The name of the consumer group on the ApsaraMQ for Kafka instance. You must use a separate consumer group to create the message routing source. Do not use the same consumer group for ApsaraMQ for Kafka and another existing messaging service. Otherwise, you may fail to send or receive messages by using the existing messaging service.

        GID_http_1

        Concurrency Quota (Consumers)

        The number of consumers on the ApsaraMQ for Kafka instance.

        1

        Consumer Offset

        The offset from which messages are consumed.

        Latest Offset

        Network Configuration

        The type of the network over which you want to route messages.

        Basic Network

        VPC

        The ID of the virtual private cloud (VPC) in which the ApsaraMQ for Kafka instance is deployed. This parameter is required only if you set the Network Configuration parameter to Internet.

        vpc-bp17fapfdj0dwzjkd****

        vSwitch

        The ID of the vSwitch to which the ApsaraMQ for Kafka instance belongs. This parameter is required only if you set the Network Configuration parameter to Internet.

        vsw-bp1gbjhj53hdjdkg****

        Security Group

        The security group to which the ApsaraMQ for Kafka instance belongs. This parameter is required only if you set the Network Configuration parameter to Internet.

        Batch Push

        The batch push feature helps you aggregate multiple events at a time. This feature is triggered if the condition that is specified by the Messages parameter or the Batch Push Interval (Unit: Seconds) parameter is met.

        For example, if you set the Messages parameter to 100 and the Interval (Unit: Seconds) parameter to 15, the push is executed when the number of messages reaches 100 even if only 10 seconds are elapsed.

        Enable

        Messages

        The maximum number of messages that can be sent in each function invocation. Requests are sent only when the number of messages in the backlog reaches the specified value. Valid values: 1 to 10000.

        100

        Batch Push Interval (Unit: Seconds)

        The time interval at which the function is invoked. The system sends the aggregated messages to Function Compute at the specified time interval. Valid values: 0 to 15. Unit: seconds. The value 0 indicates that messages are sent immediately after aggregation.

        3

      3. In the Filtering, Transformation, and Sink steps, configure the event filtering method, event transformation rule, and event target. For information about event transformation configurations, see Use Function Compute to perform message cleansing.

    • Task Property

      Configure the retry policy and dead-letter queue for the event stream. For more information, see Retry policies and dead-letter queues.

  4. Go back to the Event Streams page and find the event stream that you created. Then, click Enable in the Actions column.

    Enabling an event stream requires 30 to 60 seconds to complete. You can view the progress in the Status column of the event stream on the Event Streams page.
