Description
The Timeline Event Publisher component is introduced to publish all timeline events on a queue for other software to be able to consume those messages in some way. It was introduced in Blueriq 14.8.
Note that when using this component, the consuming application of the timeline events is responsible for persisting these events and if the timeline data needs to be disclosed to the end user, a custom container type should be added to Blueriq.
Requirements
The timeline event publisher component needs to be able to access a queue. Currently, only RabbitMQ is supported. For setting this up see Configuration of RabbitMQ for Customerdata service and Trace Event Publisher.
Installation
In order to use this component, the timeline-event-publisher-amqp
profile must be active. More information on how to configure the application using Spring Profiles can be found here: Component configuration with Spring Profiles.
The timeline-event-publisher-amqp
profile activates timeline events being published to the configured RabbitMQ exchange. When timeline events are published to RabbitMQ, they will no longer be written to the database.
Configuration
To be able to publish event messages, the event channel needs to be configured in application-timeline-event-publisher-amqp.properties
This file can be found, or otherwise should be placed in <Blueriq installation folder>\Runtime\conf
.
# RabbitMQ configuration blueriq.timeline.event.publisher.amqp.rabbitmq.host = localhost blueriq.timeline.event.publisher.amqp.rabbitmq.port = 5671 blueriq.timeline.event.publisher.amqp.rabbitmq.virtualHost = / blueriq.timeline.event.publisher.amqp.rabbitmq.username = guest blueriq.timeline.event.publisher.amqp.rabbitmq.password = guest blueriq.timeline.event.publisher.amqp.rabbitmq.ssl.enabled = true # Timeline events channel configuration blueriq.timeline.event.publisher.amqp.rabbitmq.exchangeName = timelineEvents
Enable TLS connection
To enable a secure (TLS) AMQP connection to the queue, set the property "blueriq.timeline.event.publisher.channel.amqp.rabbitmq.ssl
.enabled
" to "true
".
The default for AQMP port with TLS on RabbitMQ is '5671', it needs to be explicitly enabled though, see https://www.rabbitmq.com/ssl.html for more information.
