The Server-Sent Events Dashboard page allows you to connect your Concrete CMS installation to a secondary Mercure server. Mercure lets Concrete CMS display real-time feedback on all manner of things, like the new version 9 Tasks system.
To enable Server-Sent events on your Concrete site, first you’ll have to click the “Enable Server-Sent Events” checkbox.
Next, you’ll have to have access to a Mercure Hub Server. This information may be provided to your by your web host, or you may have to run the server yourself. For information on how to install, configure and run Mercure, see Install the Mercure.rocks Hub.
Once Mercure is running, you’ll have the Hub Publish URL and the JWT Key, which are both a part of Mercure installation.
