SMN

Functions

• A topic is a specified event for message publishing or subscription notification. It serves as a message sending channel, where publishers and subscribers can interact with each other. Before configuring notifications, you must create a topic.
• VOD notification types include Transcoding completed, Snapshot captured, Review completed, Video uploaded, Audio extraction completed, and Thumbnail created. Subscription is to associate a subscriber to a topic. A user can have multiple topics, and each topic has multiple subscribers.

Process Flow

Figure 1 shows the process of configuring notifications.

Figure 1 Process of configuring notifications

1. Create an SMN Topic on the SMN console.
2. Configure a topic policy to authorize VOD to publish messages to the topic.
3. Configure notifications on the VOD console so that you can receive notifications during operations such as transcoding, snapshot capturing, and review.

Creating an SMN Topic

1. Log in to the SMN console.
2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Topic Management > Topics.
3. Click Create Topic in the upper right corner.
   The Create Topic dialog box is displayed. Table 1 describes the required parameters.

   Table 1 Topic parameters

   Parameter	Description
   Topic Name	Specifies the topic name, which Contains only letters, digits, hyphens (-), and underscores (_), and must start with a letter or digit. Contains 1 to 255 characters. Must be unique and cannot be modified after the topic is created.
   Display Name	This parameter is optional. When sending an email: If the display name is not specified, the sender is displayed as username@example.com. If the display name is specified, the email sender is presented as Display name<username@example.com>.
   Enterprise Project	Centrally manages cloud resources and members by project.
   Tag	Specifies a key-value pair. Tags identify cloud resources so that you can easily categorize and search for your resources.

4. Click OK.
5. Click Add Subscription in the Operation column of the new topic. The Add Subscription dialog box is displayed.
   Configure the subscription protocol and endpoints. See Figure 2.

   Figure 2 Adding a subscription
   

   Table 2 describes the subscription parameters.

   Table 2 Subscription parameters

   Parameter	Description
   Topic Name	Name of the topic to be subscribed to. Retain the default value.
   Protocol	Message notification method. Select a protocol from the drop-down list. The common protocols used by MPC are SMS, Email, HTTP, and HTTPS.
   Endpoint	Specifies the IP address of a subscription endpoint. You can enter up to 10 SMS, email, HTTP, or HTTPS endpoints, one in each line. SMS: Enter one or more valid phone numbers. The format is + country code phone number, for example, +8600000000000. Subscribers will receive a subscription confirmation message valid for 48 hours and must confirm the subscription to receive messages published to the topic. Email: Enter one or more valid email addresses, for example, username@example.com. Subscribers will receive a subscription confirmation email valid for 48 hours and must confirm the subscription to receive messages published to the topic. If you select HTTP or HTTPS, enter a public network address and confirm the subscription, for example, https://example.com/notification/action. HTTPS is recommended, as it is more secure than HTTP.

6. Click OK to add a subscription. You can view the subscription on Topic Management > Subscriptions.

   After the subscription is added, the configured subscription endpoint will receive a subscription confirmation message. The subscription confirmation link is valid for 48 hours. You need to confirm the subscription within the validity period so that you can receive messages published to the topic.

Configuring a Topic Policy

2. Click More > Configure Topic Policy in the Operation column.

   Topic policies are classified into basic mode and advanced mode. The basic mode simply specifies which users or cloud services have permissions to publish messages to a topic. See Figure 3.

   Table 3 Description for configuring a topic policy in basic mode

   Item	Settings	Description
   Users who can publish messages to this topic	Topic creator	Only the topic creator has permission to publish messages to the topic.
   	All users	All users have permission to publish messages to the topic.
   	Specified user accounts	Only specified users have permission to publish messages to the topic. Users are specified in the format urn:csp:iam::domainId:root, in which domainId indicates the account ID of a user. Every two users are separated with a comma (,). SMN does not limit the number of users you can specify, but the total length of a topic policy cannot exceed 30 KB. NOTE: Enter the account ID of the user and click OK. Other information is automatically supplemented by the system. To obtain a user's account ID, log in to the SMN console, hover the mouse over the username in the upper right corner and choose My Credentials from the drop-down list.
