SEMP

Solace Element Management Protocol version 2 (SEMP v2) is a RESTful API that you can use to configure Solace PubSub+ event brokers. It complements Solace’s CLI and SolAdmin, and provides a programmable way to configure Solace PubSub+ event brokers.

The SEMP API allows you to handle messaging as a service and makes it easy for you to provision, operate, and maintain Solace messaging wherever your applications need it, whether that is in the public cloud, your private cloud, or simply in your data center.

SEMP is designed to integrate easily into your DevOps workflow and enable teams to roll out their messaging as they roll out their applications. It can be easily integrated into configuration management portals or with configuration automation tools like Chef, Puppet, Ansible, and others.

SEMP v2 Limitations

The SEMP v2 API is being released iteratively with an initial focus on enabling Message VPN configuration on Solace PubSub+ event brokers. With each release, more commands and functionality are added. Refer to the spec files to see what is currently supported. Instructions for spec file access are presented on the page SEMP API Reference.

For commands and operations not yet supported in SEMP v2, use the legacy SEMP API.

Getting Started with SEMP

These tutorials will introduce you to the basics of configuring PubSub+ event brokers with SEMP v2. There are two ways you can get started:

• If your company has PubSub+ event brokers deployed, contact your middleware team to obtain the hostname or IP address of an event broker to test against, a username and password to access it, and a Message VPN in which you can produce and consume messages.
• If you don’t have access to a PubSub+ event broker, see Setting Up Container Images or Setting Up Machine Images for instructions for downloading and installing a
