[1] Renaming a Stream
- Changes the stream reference to the metrics created from that stream.
- In Alerts/Composites/Anoboards/Dashboards, if the stream name is used:
a/ Without wildcards in an alert expression, it will be replaced in the expression automatically.
b/ With wildcards, the expression will not be changed automatically and you will need to change it manually.
Creating Stream Queries
Each source can hold several stream queries. To create new queries:
- Define a Stream Query per the requirements of the data source:
- Data to collect: measures, dimensions and timestamp
- A Collection scheduling
See Creating a Stream Query from a Database or the guidelines for the specific data source. - Review the data in the Stream Table before processing it to Anodot.
Note: To create more meaningful metrics, you can transform and filter the measures and dimensions from the data collectors before streaming the data.
See Stream Tables Measure Columns and Dimension Columns
