Input Connectors

GeoEvent Processor is capable of receiving event data from virtually any source by using an Input Connector. An Input Connector must know how the data is being received as well as how the data is formatted. These tasks are handled by adapters and transports, which are technical implementations beneath each and every connector.

See Extending GeoEvent Processor to learn more about adapters and transports.
