Google Cloud Pub/Sub is a messaging service that allows applications to exchange messages reliably, quickly, and asynchronously. It is designed to provide real-time messaging between applications, enabling developers to build robust and scalable systems. Pub/Sub decouples senders and receivers, allowing for flexible and scalable message distribution.
When using Google Pub/Sub, you might encounter the PUSH_ENDPOINT_UNAUTHORIZED error. This error indicates that the push endpoint you have configured does not authorize the Pub/Sub service to send messages. As a result, messages are not delivered to the endpoint, and the system may experience delays or failures in message processing.
The PUSH_ENDPOINT_UNAUTHORIZED error occurs when the push endpoint, which is supposed to receive messages from Pub/Sub, is not properly configured to accept requests from the Pub/Sub service. This can happen due to incorrect authentication or authorization settings on the endpoint.
Ensure that the push endpoint is correctly configured to accept requests from the Pub/Sub service. Check the endpoint URL and make sure it is reachable and correctly specified in your Pub/Sub subscription settings.
Configure the endpoint to authenticate requests from the Pub/Sub service. You can use Google Cloud IAM to manage authentication and authorization. Ensure that the Pub/Sub service account has the necessary permissions to send messages to the endpoint.
gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding YOUR_PROJECT_ID \
--member=serviceAccount:service-PUBSUB_SERVICE_ACCOUNT@gcp-sa-pubsub.iam.gserviceaccount.com \
--role=roles/pubsub.publisher
After configuring authentication, test the endpoint to ensure it accepts messages from Pub/Sub. You can use tools like cURL to simulate requests and verify that the endpoint responds correctly.
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"message": "test"}' \
https://your-endpoint-url.com/receive
Enable logging on your endpoint to capture incoming requests and any errors. This will help you diagnose issues and ensure that the endpoint is functioning as expected. Use Google Cloud Logging to monitor and analyze logs.
By following these steps, you can resolve the PUSH_ENDPOINT_UNAUTHORIZED error and ensure that your Google Pub/Sub push endpoint is properly configured to receive messages. Proper authentication and endpoint configuration are crucial for maintaining a reliable messaging system.
