Examples

Basic Scenarios

Scenario 1: Get the last value of tags every 60 seconds

• Set sample and send parameters.

  Set pollingInterval < sendOut time to ensure that all uploads will be sampled at least once.

  

• Select tags.

  

• Update format.

  Format:

  {
    (.tagName): .dataValue
  }

  • because we only need last values of tags every 60 seconds, so you may not need array to buffer values of tags
  • Each tagName's value will be overwritten by the last value

  

• Check the result.

  The message group will send the following message to the target every 60 seconds.

  {
    "cpuUsage": 12,
    "memoryUsage": 51
  }

Scenario 2: Get all values of tags every 60 seconds

• Set sample and send parameters.

  • Set pollingInterval = 0 to enable subscribe mode to subscribe to all tags published from origin.
  • Set send out time = 60 to publish the message every 60 seconds.

  

• Select tags.

  

• Update the format.

  default format already includes an array for each tag to store all values.

  Here is another format to reduce the message size.

  Format:

  {
    (.srcName+"_"+.tagName): [
      .dataValue
    ] 
  }

• Check the result.

  The message group will send the following message to the target every 60 seconds.

  {
    "status_cpuUsage": [
      11,
      9
    ],
    "status_memoryUsage": [
      51,
      51
    ]
  }

Advanced Scenarios

• Calculating values from data

  • Example tag:

    {
      "dataType": "uint64",
      "dataValue": 11,
      "prvdName": "system",
      "srcName": "status",
      "tagName": "cpuUsage",
      "ts": 1581659603000000
    }
    format:

    {
      value: ( .dataValue + 1000 )
    }
    result:

    {
      "value": 1011
    }

• Using conditionals

  • Example tag:

    {
      "dataType": "uint64",
      "dataValue": 11,
      "prvdName": "system",
      "srcName": "status",
      "tagName": "cpuUsage",
      "ts": 1581659603000000
    }
    format:

    {
      stable: ( if .dataValue > 80 then false else true end ) 
    }
    result:

    {
      "stable": true
    }
