Event reporter
Event Reporter is used for reporting Flow and Map execution events. Event Reporter enables HCL Link runtime to report Flow and Map events to Elasticsearch. Events will be reported only if the Event Reporter feature is installed and configured.
Configuration
To configure Link runtime to send events to Event Reporter, specify the Event Reporter host and port during windows installation time. The Event Reporter will start automatically on the Link local host using IP address 127.0.0.1, and listen for the Flow and Map events on the specified port.

Dashboards
A description of HCL Link dashboards, including the Server dashboard and the Kibana dashboard.
- Server dashboard
  A server dashboard in Link, manages deployed flows and to see the results of flow runs. The server dashboard allows you to run maps and flows, but only those that have no input defined. If one wants to run any other endpoints, one must go to the endpoint Swagger page and run from there. The server dashboard is similar to Swagger page and to the 'Run' dialog available from the flow designer.

TARGET_TYPE:
- stdout - Sends event messages to standard output.
- file - Sends event messages to file specified by OUTPUT_FILE.
- elasticsearch - Sends event messages to an elasticsearch server specified by ELASTICSEARCH_HOST.

ELASTICSEARCH_HOST.x - The ip address of your elasticsearch server.
ELASTICSEARCH_PORT.x - The port used by your elasticsearch server.
Where .x is used to indicate any number of servers.
For example:
ELASTICSEARCH_HOST.1
