Configuring Business Automation Insights for event processing

For IBM Business Automation Insights to process events from IBM Cloud Pak® for Business Automation platform components and from custom sources, turn on the corresponding install parameter in the custom resource.

Before you begin

Before you move on with installing IBM Business Automation Insights on a Kubernetes platform, go over the preliminary steps.
  1. Review the optional preparations steps as presented in Preparing to install Business Automation Insights.
  2. Review all of the customizations that you want to make to the selected capabilities.

About this task

Event processors are required for processing Cloud Pak for Business Automation events, which are events from other components of the IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation platform. Configure the custom resource so that the necessary event processor pods are started when Business Automation Insights is deployed. Kafka is configured by the Cloud Pak for Business Automation environment.

For more information about the configuration parameters, see Event processing parameters.

Note: In both starter (evaluation) and production deployments, event processors are automatically enabled, depending on the pattern for which Business Automation Insights is selected as an optional component.

Procedure

  1. Inside your CR locate the xxx.install.
  2. Validate the values that correspond to the event emitters you want to process.
    To configure Business Automation Insights to process the events that result from FileNet® Content Manager, set the spec.bai_configuration.content.install parameter to true. You can omit setting the other install parameters to false because this is their default value.
    content:
  install: true

What to do next

Continue to configure the other capabilities that are in your CR file, and make sure that you complete the last step Validating the YAML in your custom resource file before you apply the CR to the operator.

Optional tasks are described in Completing optional post-installation tasks for Business Automation Insights.
