Kloudspot Event Receiver

Overview

The Kloudspot Analytics Engine can receive events from many types of WiFi network.

One or more of event sources can be configured in the **‘Configuration - > ****Event Processing** **- > ****Wi-Fi** ’ screen.

Validate the Receiver URLs

The protocol (HTTP/HTTPS) used varies depending on the source. We support both HTTP and HTTPS protocols using port 48082 and 48083. Refer to the specific data source below to determine the correct one to use.

If you have set a SSL certificate for the UI, that will be used instead of the self signed one.

You can check access to both the HTTP and HTTPS urls with a ‘ping’:

$ curl http://{server}:48082/ping
hi from http receiver
$ curl -k https://{server}:48083/ping
hi from https receiver
