Getting Started

Welcome to Integration Hub for Moodle! This guide will help you understand what MIH is and how to get started.

What is MIH?​

Integration Hub for Moodle (MIH) is an independent plugin for the Moodle™ platform that provides a centralized, production-grade integration layer between your Moodle™ site and any external service — REST APIs, message brokers (RabbitMQ), or SOAP web services.

Quick Overview​

MIH solves the integration sprawl problem by providing:

1. MIH API (Facade)​

A simple PHP API that any plugin can use to call external services reliably:

$response = mih::request('service-name', '/api/endpoint', $payload, 'POST');
if ($response->is_ok()) {
    // Handle success
}

2. Event Bridge​

A no-code system for mapping events to external webhooks — no PHP required!

Key Features​

  • Circuit Breaker — Prevents cascading failures when services go down
  • Automatic Retries — Exponential backoff built-in
  • Dead Letter Queue — Failed events stored for replay
  • Monitoring Dashboard — Real-time success rates and latency
  • Multi-transport — REST, AMQP (RabbitMQ), and SOAP

Next Steps​

  1. Installation — Install and configure MIH in your instance
  2. Architecture — Understand how MIH works internally
  3. Admin Guide — Configure services and rules
  4. MIH API — Integrate MIH into your own plugins
