Trigger Specification

This specification describes the ibmmq trigger for IBM MQ Queue.

triggers:
- type: ibmmq
  metadata:
    host: <ibm-host> # REQUIRED - IBM MQ Queue Manager Admin REST Endpoint
    queueManager: <queue-manager> # REQUIRED - Your queue manager
    queueName: <queue-name> # REQUIRED - Your queue name
    tlsDisabled: <TLS enabled/disabled> # OPTIONAL - Set 'true' to disable TLS. Default: false
    queueDepth: <queue-depth> # OPTIONAL - Queue depth target for HPA. Default: 5 messages
    activationQueueDepth: <activation-queue-depth> # OPTIONAL - Activation queue depth target. Default: 0 messages
    usernameFromEnv: <admin-user> # Optional: Provide admin username from env instead of as a secret
    passwordFromEnv: <admin-password> # Optional: Provide admin password from env instead of as a secret
    unsafeSsl: <SSL enabled/disabled> # OPTIONAL - Set 'true' for unsafe SSL. Default: false

Parameter list:

host - IBM MQ Queue Manager Admin REST Endpoint. Example URI endpoint structure on IBM cloud https://example.mq.appdomain.cloud/ibmmq/rest/v2/admin/action/qmgr/QM/mqsc.
queueManager - Name of the queue manager from which messages will be consumed.
queueName - Name of the Queue within the Queue Manager defined from which messages will be consumed.
tlsDisabled - Can be set to ’true’ to disable TLS. (Values: true, false , Default: false, Optional)
queueDepth - Queue depth Target for HPA. (Default: 5, Optional)
activationQueueDepth - Target value for activating the scaler. Learn more about activation here. (Default: 0, Optional)
usernameFromEnv - Provide admin username from env instead of as a secret. (Optional)
passwordFromEnv - Provide admin password from env instead of as a secret. (Optional)
unsafeSsl - Whether to allow unsafe SSL (Values: true, false, Default: false )

Authentication Parameters

TriggerAuthentication CRD is used to connect and authenticate to IBM MQ:

ca - Certificate authority file for TLS client authentication. (Optional)
cert - Certificate for client authentication. (Optional)
key - Key for client authentication. (Optional)
keyPassword - If set the keyPassword is used to decrypt the provided key. (Optional)
usernameFromEnv - Provide admin username from env instead of as a secret. (Optional)
passwordFromEnv - Provide admin password from env instead of as a secret. (Optional)
