Hi @soniya , In Solace topics are actually just metadata on each message and not actual objects managed by the broker or mesh. Because of that you can’t actually see “topics” outside of topic subscriptions in the PubSub+ Manager. That said, the PubSub+ Event Portal can help understand your EDA. One of those things is what apps publish which events and which apps consumer those events. And each event of course gets published to a topic. BUT I think what you might really be looking for is a new offering we are developing now which we are referring to as “Distributed Tracing”. @Shawn , our CTO, talked about it on our recent product update. You can check it out over on YouTube . Take a look, and if that is exactly what you are looking for I’ll see what we can do to get you early access to try it out and give us feedback. Hope that helps! ---
