Configuring Events for CentraSite Destination
Pre-requisites:
You have to configure CentraSite to communicate with API Gateway before you select the events for publishing to CentraSite.
You have to configure the CentraSite destination so that events and performance metrics data of APIs in API Gateway can be published to CentraSite. However, you will be able to publish the data to CentraSite destination only for APIs published from CentraSite to API Gateway.
To configure events for
API Gateway destination
1. Expand the menu options icon 
, in the title bar, and select Administration. 2. Select Destinations.
3. Select CentraSite > Events to configure the event types for this destination.
4. In Event types, select the type of events that you want API Gateway to publish to CentraSite.
The available event types are:
Error: Occurs each time an API invocation results in an error.
Lifecycle: Occurs each time
API Gateway is started or shut down.
Policy violation: Occurs each time an API invocation violates the policy enforcement that was set for the API.
5. Select Report performance data to publish performance metrics data.
6. In the Publish interval box, enter a time interval (in minutes) to specify how often API Gateway must publish performance metrics. Enter a value from 1 through 60. The default is 60 minutes.
7. Click Save.
Post-requisites:
After performing the event configurations, select CentraSite as a Destination in the Policy Properties page for each policy, to publish the transaction and monitoring event logs for the assigned policies. API Gateway sends these events to CentraSite through SNMP.
Important:
As a best practice, Software AG recommends you not to use the CentraSite destination for transaction events with large data payloads. This is because, the SNMP server using which the events are published from API Gateway to CentraSite does not handle transaction events with large data payloads.
