You Asked, We Answered! 

In this section, I’ll review a few questions our community members asked this month that you may be interested in reading about. 

• Community member Linus asks for semantic convention recommendations for open telemetry attributes for Solace. Tamimi explained why Solace does not have a vendor specific semantic convention. 
• Community member ulrich has a question about PubSub+ Messaging API for Go for certificate-based authentication. Tamimi recommends using the WithCertificateValidation function.aqsewwaq  
• Community member AllenW wonders how he can non-destructively view a message payload of the most recent message in a queue. Tamimi and Aaron answered his question and provided the related resources.  
• Community member Muni wants to know how to consume and publish EDA created in Designer of PubSub+ Event Portal. Aaron and Tamimi answered the question, introduced EDA, and provided the related resources.
