Create an Output Connector in GeoEvent

An output connector in GeoEvent sends data to the AOP endpoint. You need to create an output for all the services that you plan to use to send data to AOP. To make this task easier, we suggest that you create an output connector type, which is similar to a template, so that you do not have to repeat the same tasks but can adapt the connector for each new output.

Create the AOP Endpoint Connector

To create an AOP Endpoint Connector:

1. Open ArcGIS GeoEvent Manager.

2. Select the Site tab in the top right corner, and then click Connectors in the left side panel.

   

   The screen lists all the currently configured connectors - both inbound and outbound.

3. Click Create Connectors.

4. In the Editing Connector window, select the following settings:

   • Name: Type AOP_Connector.
   • Label: Type AOP_Connector.
   • Description: Type a description of what this connector does, for example, Sends Collaboration Events to the AOP Core Roles.
   • Type: Select Output.
   • Adapter: Select Generic-JSON.
   • Transport: Select HTTP-Basic-Authentication.
   • Default Output Name: Type AOP-output.
   • In the Configure Properties section, ensure that the following properties are in Shown Properties:
     • URL
     • Parameters
     • Username
     • Password
   • In the Configure Properties section, add the following properties to Hidden Properties:
     • HTTP Timeout (in seconds)
     • Mode
     • HTTP Method
     • Formatted JSON
   • In the Configure Properties section, add the following properties to Advanced Properties:
   • • Header Parameter Name: Value List
     • Use URL Proxy
     • URL Proxy

     • MIME Type

     The final settings should be the same as those in the screen below:
