The SSE Interface
Panel Layout
The SSE tab has a specialized layout optimized for streaming connections. It's divided into three main areas: the connection bar at the top, settings panel on the left, and the event stream on the right.
Interface Layout
Connection Bar - URL input with Connect/Disconnect button
Settings Panel
Event Stream - Real-time events
Connection Bar
The top bar is your control center for managing SSE connections:
Protocol Badge
Indicates this is an SSE tab (not HTTP or WebSocket).
URL Input
Enter the SSE endpoint URL. Supports environment variables ({{baseUrl}}/events).Disabled while connected - disconnect first to change the URL.
Connection State
Shows the current connection state with color coding:
Connect/Disconnect Button
Click to start or stop the SSE connection. Changes to red "Disconnect" when connected.Tip: Press Enter in the URL field to connect quickly.
Settings Panel
The left panel contains connection settings:
Last-Event-ID
Specify an event ID to resume from. When you reconnect, the server will send events starting after this ID (if supported). This is useful for:
- • Resuming after a disconnect without missing events
- • Testing specific event ranges
- • Replaying events from a known point
Authentication
Configure authentication for your SSE connection. Same options as HTTP requests:
Event Stream Panel
The right panel displays incoming events in real-time:
Event Counter
Shows the total number of received events. Updates in real-time.
Clear Events
Click the trash icon to clear all received events. Useful for a fresh start without reconnecting.
Scrollable Event List
Events are displayed newest-first for easy access to latest data. Scroll up to see older events.
Performance Note
For high-frequency streams, Tigrister limits display to the last 100 events and throttles UI updates for smooth performance. A warning appears when the limit is reached.
Connection Info
When connected, a footer bar shows connection details:
- • Status - HTTP status code from the server (usually 200)
- • ID - Unique connection identifier for debugging
