In WSO2 IS, there is a Data publisher configuration which provides necessary details about the destination/target DAS Server. It is located at <IS_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/eventpublishers/AuthenticationDataPublisher.xml . Below is the sample configuration.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<eventPublisher name="AuthenticationDataPublisher" statistics="disable" trace="disable" xmlns="http://wso2.org/carbon/eventpublisher">
<from streamName="authentication-analytics-stream" version="1.0.0"/>
<mapping customMapping="disable" type="wso2event"/>
<to eventAdapterType="wso2event">
<property name="username">admin</property>
<property name="protocol">thrift</property>
<property name="publishingMode">non-blocking</property>
<property name="publishTimeout">0</property>
<property name="receiverURL">tcp://localhost:7611</property>
