Source Creation
An Event Source identifies a system or producer that sends events to Lariba Cloud.
Use a separate source for each producer or integration boundary that needs its own identity and credential lifecycle.
Create a source
Create the source from the Lariba Cloud source-management surface available in your environment.
Give the source a clear name that identifies the producer or integration.
Credential handling
Treat source credentials as secrets.
- store credentials in the producer's secret-management mechanism;
- do not commit credentials to source control;
- do not paste credentials into documentation or tickets;
- rotate or revoke credentials when they are no longer trusted.
Source lifecycle
Source management supports the normal lifecycle of an event producer, including:
- creating and listing sources;
- updating source configuration;
- enabling or disabling a source;
- rotating or revoking source credentials;
- archiving sources that are no longer active;
- inspecting source activity.
Additional connection options can be available depending on the source type.
Test before sending production traffic
Use a development source first. Confirm that the source can send a test event and that the event appears in the expected project before switching a producer to normal traffic.
