Add Solace PubSub+ source to an eventstream (preview)

  • Article

This article shows you how to add a Solace PubSub+ source to an eventstream. 

Solace PubSub+ is a fully managed enterprise message broker that provides message queues and publish-subscribe topics. Microsoft Fabric event streams allow you to connect to Solace PubSub+, enabling messages from Solace PubSub+ to be ingested into Fabric eventstream and routed to various destinations within Fabric.

Note

This source is not supported in the following regions of your workspace capacity: West US3, Switzerland West. 

Prerequisites 

Before you start, you must complete the following prerequisites:

  • Access to the Fabric premium workspace with Contributor or higher permissions. 
  • You need to have appropriate permissions on the Solace Pub Sub+ event broker services.
  • Ensure that Transport Layer Security (TLS) is disabled, and the Solace Message Format service is enabled to support TCP-based messaging.
  • Confirm that the event broker is publicly accessible and not behind a firewall or secured in a virtual network.
