Output connectors, or outputs, are elements in a GeoEvent Service that enable real-time dissemination of processed event data (GeoEvents) to consumers in an expected format. Use the service designer in ArcGIS GeoEvent Manager to add new and work with existing outputs in a GeoEvent Service.
Create and add an output
To create and add an output to a GeoEvent Service, drag an Output element from the New Elements list into the service designer or double-click the Output element.
From the list of available output connectors, choose and configure an output that supports how you intend to disseminate the GeoEvents. The output, by default, is in a stopped state when it's created to prevent dissemination of data before a user or client is ready. To start an output, see the Start and stop an output section below.
Add an existing output
To add an existing output to a GeoEvent Service, drag or double-click an available output under Outputs to add it to the service designer.
Copy an output
To copy an existing output, right-click the output under Outputs and choose Create New Output as Copy. To edit or update the output created from the copy, right-click the new output and choose Edit Output Properties. You can add the new output to the current or another GeoEvent Service.
Start and stop an output
By default, a new output connector is in a stopped state. To start and stop an output, right-click an existing output in either the Outputs list or the service designer and choose Start Output or Stop Output. Starting and stopping an output controls the active dissemination of processed GeoEvents to consumers.
Edit an output
To edit an existing output, right-click the output under Outputs and choose Edit Output Properties. To edit the parameters of an output in a GeoEvent Service, double-click the output in the service designer to access the output parameters.
