Create a Solace Rest Consumer

This article will guide you through the process of creating a Solace Rest Consumer.

Rest consumer allows the Solace event broker to establish a connection to consumer application. This connection is established by sending an HTTP post message to Rest application and receive a 200 OK HTTP response from it. The format of HTTP post request and response received can be configured.

Before creating the Rest Consumer, you must establish a Solace Manager connection. To learn how, click on Create Remote Solace Manager Connection.
