We’ve got some great updates to share about Event Portal - designed to make your life simpler and your workflows faster. Here’s the scoop:

\*1. One-Click Connections for Cloud-Managed Brokers \*

No more manual installs, configuration, or upgrades. If you’re using cloud-managed brokers in dedicated or private regions, you can now connect them with Event Portal with just a few clicks.

- ​No self-managed agents required: We’ve cut out the need for self-managing Event Management Agents in these scenarios.
- ​Speeds things up: Makes connecting your broker services with Event Portal quick and easy.

​Public regions up next! Soon, you won’t need agents for brokers in public regions either.

​Ready to roll? Check out this quick how-to video:  [How to connect your event brokers to Event Portal](https://solace.com/resources/pubsub-event-portal/event-portal-demo-connecting-brokers) .

​A couple of things to note:

- If you’re already using self-managed Event Management Agents, you’ll need to enable Event Portal Connections and clean up your old agents. (Need help? Contact support.)
- Moving data centers? Don’t forget to update your Event Portal to broker service/environment mappings to keep features like Discovery & Audit running smoothly.

\*​2. Environment Integration Has Landed \*

​We’ve extended multi-environment support in Cluster Manager to Event Portal. Now you can:

- ​Select environments and keep that context while navigating Runtime Event Manager.
- ​Use environment icons and colors to stay organized.

​What stays the same?

- ​Configuration Templates and Event Management Agents are still environment-agnostic.
- ​Design and Catalog work across all environments without specific context.

​Dive into the details:
