I have installed EDA and it working fine along with AWX in kubernetes cluster . But when i try to create new Event Stream in webUI it would give me this error :

EventStream of type Token Event Stream cannot be used because EVENT\_STREAM\_BASE\_URL is not configured. Please check with your site administrator.

Not sure where to set this URL

Hi @guruthebond  
I think it is a bug in the documentation of the operator. That variable is set by the operator but public\_base\_url must be defined.

Thank you Alex for prompt reply and explaining the issue, EDA operator i am right now using is as shown below 1.0.0, i tried using the 1.0.2 but when i access the URL it would just show me nginx welcome page

kubectl describe deployment eda-ui -n eda | grep “Image:”  
Image: eda-ui:main  
kubectl describe deployment eda-api -n eda | grep “Image:”  
Image: eda-server:main  
kubectl describe deployment eda-default-worker -n eda | grep “Image:”  
Image: eda-server:main  
kubectl describe deployment eda-redis -n eda | grep “Image:”  
Image: redis-6-c9s:latest  
kubectl describe deployment eda-scheduler -n eda | grep “Image:”  
Image: eda-server:main  
kubectl describe deployment eda-server-operator-controller-manager -n eda | grep “Image:”  
Image: eda-server-operator:1.0.0  
kubectl describe deployment eda-activation-worker -n eda | grep “Image:”  
Image: eda-server:main

i have deployed eda using this doc : [awx-on-k3s/rulebooks at main · kurokobo/awx-on-k3s · GitHub](https://github.com/kurokobo/awx-on-k3s/tree/main/rulebooks)

Not sure were do i set the public\_base\_url.

I added it in config file below and redeployed the operator but still issue is same

# cat rulebooks/server/eda.yaml

Hi @guruthebond According to the documentation of the operator, the variable is public\_base\_url and must be defined in the EDA crd. I have personally checked that it is working. Make sure it has a valid value and it is correctly applied/deployed.

I have also created a bug report for the documentation and defaults.

> <https://github.com/ansible/eda-server-operator/issues/265>

> It seems that \`public\_base\_url\` has no default value and the documentation does …not say that it must be defined, so if the application is installed without defining that variable event streams can not be created, the application returns an error like: \`EventStream of type Token Event Stream cannot be used because EVENT\_STREAM\_BASE\_URL is not configured. Please check with your site administrator.\`
