Service Structure

The core of Event Exposure is a single Kafka cluster. One Kafka topic is created per tenant and event type (logs, health, lifecycle) as shown in the graphic below. These Kafka topics expose events from all supported cloud services within the tenant without any filtering. Events are retained for 24 hours.

Service Instances

The service instance is a Kafka topic. Currently, there is one service instance per tenant per event type (logs, health, lifecycle). All events that belong to the tenant are published on the topic.

Service Users

The service user is a TLS certificate that grants access to the Kafka topic. Multiple users can be created. A user can be only part of a single consumer group, but multiple users can share the same consumer group.

The service user certificate expires after 1 year.
