This sample demonstrates the Spotfire Streaming Log Output Adapter, an adapter that passes its input tuple unchanged to the currently configured StreamBase logging system, and then to its output port. The adapter provides for extensive customization of log output messages.
The sample's Input Stream has a schema of {symbol: string, price: double, numshares: double}. The Input Stream is followed by a Map operator whose sole purpose is to provide default values for the Input Stream. This allows you to click the button in the Manual Input view in StreamBase Studio without entering any values. The incoming tuple is then split into three instances of the Log adapter, each of which illustrates a different formatting option of the same log message written to the Console view.
LoggerBasic shows the output of a default-configured Log
adapter, where only the Logger Name property is
specified. With the default input tuple, this adapter emits a log message like the
following. (The following examples are shown on two lines for clarity, but are
emitted as one long line each.)
2011-08-23 20:19:56.798-0400 [ThreadPool-9] WARN LoggerBasic - IBM,164.35,1000.0
LoggerTupleNames illustrates two message formatting
options, the inclusion of input tuple field names, and a message prefix.
2011-08-23 20:19:56.799-0400 [ThreadPool-9] WARN LoggerTupleNames - Incoming tuple: (tupleid=0,symbol="IBM",price=164.35,numshares=1000.0)
Logger3 illustrates the Custom
MessageFormat control, which provides a format string in the format defined by
java.text.MessageFormat, with zero-based positional parameters
filled in with field values. The provided format string is:
{2, number, integer} shares of {0} traded at {1, number, currency}.
which results in a log message like the following:
2011-08-23 20:19:56.800-0400 [ThreadPool-9] WARN LoggerCustomFormat - 1,000 shares of IBM traded at $164.35.
Notice that the overall format of these log messages is the default Logback message
format as described in the Logback Default Configuration section of Using StreamBase Logging in the Administrator's Guide. The message formatting options described
above only apply to the message text portion (%m) of the
log message — the portion shown on the second line of each example above.
To change the format of the overall log message, you must configure a PatternLayout format in the Logback configuration file, as described
on the Using StreamBase Logging
page. To see this in action, go through the next section's extra steps when running
the sample in Studio.
In StreamBase Studio, import this sample with the following steps:
-
From the top-level menu, click >.
-
Enter
logto narrow the list of options. -
Select Logging output adapter from the StreamBase Standard Adapters category.
-
Click .
StreamBase Studio creates a single project containing the sample files.
-
In the Project Explorer view, open the
sample_adapter_embedded_logsample. (Do not confuse this sample with thesample_loggingsample.)If you see red marks on a project folder, wait a moment for the project to load its features.
If the red marks do not resolve themselves after a minute, select the project, right-click, and select > from the context menu.
-
Open the
src/main/eventflow/folder.packageName -
Open the
log.sbappfile and click the Run
button. This opens the SB Test/Debug
perspective and starts the module.
-
In the Manual Input view, make sure the fragment containing
log.sbappis selected in the Fragment drop-down. -
Click without entering any field values. This sends the default input tuple defined in the DefaultValues operator.
-
As it always does, the Output Streams view shows the tuples emitted on the output port. But pay attention to the Console View, which also shows one log message for each tuple emitted.
-
Now, enter values in the Manual Input view and click . The Output Streams view shows three emitted tuples, and the Console view shows three log messages.
-
When done, press F9 or click the
Terminate EventFlow Fragment button.
When you load the sample into StreamBase® Studio, Studio copies the sample project's files to your Studio workspace, which is normally part of your home directory, with full access rights.
Important
Load this sample in StreamBase® Studio, and thereafter use the Studio workspace copy of the sample to run and test it, even when running from the command prompt.
Using the workspace copy of the sample avoids permission problems. The default workspace location for this sample is:
studio-workspace/sample_adapter_embedded_log
See Default Installation
Directories for the default location of studio-workspace on your system.
