License lifecycle events are delivered from FlowX SaaS to the on-prem license service.
Custom-component correction requests complement the existing process / business-rule / reusable-template / ui-flow correction topics that the admin orchestrator already consumed.
UI Flow multi-file upload sends a single bulk command to document-plugin in place of the per-file pattern. The plugin persists each file in the session, emits one SSE frame (UI_FLOW_FILE_UPLOAD_MULTIPLE, namespace = uploadBatchId) at the end of the batch via events-gateway, and forwards per-file results to the existing ai.flowx.core.trigger.ui-flow.update.v1 topic.
KB embedding-request / embedding-response replace the previous gRPC EmbedderService path (BulkGenerateEmbeddings / GenerateEmbeddings); the indexer now publishes one embedding job per chunk and the embedder writes points to Qdrant directly, emitting KbStoreEntryStateChanged once all chunks for an entry are persisted.
The two core-services topic names (license.events, application-version.correction-after-app-operation.custom-component.request) resolve from the standard ${kafka.topic.naming.prefix} / ${kafka.topic.naming.suffix} machinery: default prefix ai.flowx. (empty environment segment), default suffix .v1. Operators that want an environment-prefixed topic name (e.g., ai.flowx.dev.license.events.v1) set kafka.topic.naming.environment globally rather than overriding individual topics. The two AI Platform topics are hard-coded constants in the indexer and embedder and do not participate in the prefix machinery.
Environment variables
A configuration that blocks startup is a required configuration. If a service fails to start and its logs report a missing or empty configuration value, treat that value as required and provide it, even when it is not flagged as required here. These guides document the most common variables; they are not an exhaustive list of every value your deployment topology requires.
Environment variable names follow Spring relaxed binding conventions. For example, the YAML property security.oauth2.sa-realm maps to the environment variable SECURITY_OAUTH2_SAREALM (dots become underscores, hyphens are removed, all uppercase).
New environment variables
| Environment Variable | Description | Default Value | Component |
|---|
FLOWX_LICENSE_ORGANIZATIONID | Organization ID provided by FlowX. Initialized with the notset sentinel; replace it with the value FlowX provides before the license service starts. Type changed from UUID to String in 5.8.0. | notset | license |
KAFKA_CONSUMER_GROUPID_LICENSE_EVENTS | Kafka consumer group used by the license service to receive license events. | license-events | license |
KAFKA_CONSUMER_THREADS_LICENSE_EVENTS | Listener container concurrency for the license-events consumer. | 1 | license |
KAFKA_TOPIC_LICENSE_IN_EVENTS | License events topic consumed by the license service. | ai.flowx.license.events.v1 | license |
KAFKA_TOPIC_LICENSE_EVENTS_OUT | Same topic, producer-side binding on organization-manager. | ai.flowx.license.events.v1 | organization-manager |
KAFKA_TOPIC_APPLICATION_RESOURCE_CORRECTIONAFTERAPPOPERATION_OUT_CUSTOMCOMPONENT | Custom-component correction-request topic, producer-side. | ai.flowx.application-version.correction-after-app-operation.custom-component.request.v1 | application-manager |
KAFKA_TOPIC_APPLICATION_CORRECTIONAFTERAPPOPERATION_IN_CUSTOMCOMPONENT | Same topic, consumer-side. | ai.flowx.application-version.correction-after-app-operation.custom-component.request.v1 | admin |
MANAGEMENT_HEALTH_REDIS_TIMEOUT | Spring Boot Actuator timeout for the Redis health indicator (in ms). | 5000 | all services using Redis |
SPRING_CACHE_REDIS_PERSISTENCEKEYPREFIX | Prefix applied to Redis keys for the advancing-controller cache. | flowx:core:cache:advancing-controller: | advancing-controller |
REDIS_COMMAND_TIMEOUT | Redis command timeout in ms. Fail-fast during master failover. Bound via ${REDIS_COMMAND_TIMEOUT:5000} placeholder on spring.data.redis.timeout. | 5000 | all services using Redis |
REDIS_CONNECT_TIMEOUT | Redis connection establishment timeout in ms. Bound via ${REDIS_CONNECT_TIMEOUT:5000}. | 5000 | all services using Redis |
REDIS_POOL_MAX_ACTIVE | Maximum number of active Redis connections in the pool. | 10 | all services using Redis |
REDIS_POOL_MAX_IDLE | Maximum number of idle Redis connections retained in the pool. | 5 | all services using Redis |
REDIS_POOL_MIN_IDLE | Minimum number of idle Redis connections kept warm in the pool. | 1 | all services using Redis |
REDIS_POOL_MAX_WAIT | Maximum time to wait for an available connection from the pool, in ms. | 2000 | all services using Redis |
FLOWX_METRICS_STUCKCHECKINTERVALMS | Interval at which the stuck-events metric scheduler runs (ms). Bound from the inline @Value("${flowx.metrics.stuck-check-interval-ms:60000}") default; not in application.yml. | 60000 | advancing-controller |
FLOWX_METRICS_STUCKTHRESHOLDMINUTES | Age threshold (in minutes) above which an advancing event is considered stuck. Bound from @Value("${flowx.metrics.stuck-threshold-minutes:5}"). | 5 | advancing-controller |
FLOWX_DATAPRIVACY_BASEURL | Base URL for the new Data Privacy service. Required when any AI workflow node enables the Personal Information Guard. | http://data-privacy:80 | integration-designer |
FLOWX_DATAPRIVACY_TIMEOUTSECONDS | Request timeout (seconds) for Data Privacy WebClient calls. Sized to accommodate cold-start of the Presidio model on the data-privacy worker. | 60 | integration-designer |
KAFKA_TOPIC_DOCUMENT_PERSIST_SESSION_BULK_IN | Topic consumed by document-plugin to persist a list of UI Flow temp-files in a single batch. Producer-side is the matching kafka.topic.session.upload.bulk.out on process-engine, which resolves from the standard naming machinery. | ai.flowx.plugin.document.trigger.persist.document.session.bulk.v1 | document-plugin |
