Introduction to output connectors

An output connector (output) is the element of a GeoEvent Service responsible for sending processed event record to other components in your solution architecture. The output connector must translate event records into a format capable of being sent over a particular communication channel. Each output connector is configured to send data from processed event records to a single component. Every GeoEvent Service must include at least one output connector, but may include more than one.

Output connectors are created and managed in ArcGIS GeoEvent Manager. You can create new outputs from the main page of GeoEvent Services by clicking Add Output or from the service designer while editing a GeoEvent Service. When creating an output connector, you are presented with a searchable list of output connectors to choose from.

Example output connectors available in GeoEvent Server

For information on output connectors available with GeoEvent Server, refer to available output connectors. To create and add outputs to a GeoEvent Service, refer to adding outputs to a GeoEvent Service.

Step-by-step instructions to add outputs to a GeoEvent Service are included in the introduction to GeoEvent Server tutorial. You can also access the tutorial from GeoEvent Server tutorials.
