WSO2 Data Analytics Server monitors the transactions and activities of an enterprise (referred to as events), analyses them and presents the results to a range of interfaces in real time. In addition, it combines real time analytics with batch, interactive, and predictive (via machine learning) analysis of data into one integrated platform to support the multiple demands of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, as well as mobile and Web apps. It is designed to analyse millions of events per second, and is therefore capable to handle large volumes of data in Big Data and Internet of Things projects. WSO2 DAS workflow consists of three main phases as illustrated in the diagram below.
The following sections walk you through the basic features of the DAS to get you started.
Before you begin,
- Install Oracle Java SE Development Kit (JDK) version 1.7* or 1.8 and set the
JAVA_HOMEenvironment variable. - Download WSO2 DAS.
- Start the DAS by going to
<DAS_HOME>/binusing the command-line and executingwso2server.bat(for Windows) orwso2server.sh(for Linux.)
Creating a simple event flow
An event flow refers to a specific combination of event streams, event receivers, event publishers and execution plans. The following steps describe how to define these elements of an event flow.
Step 1: Add an event stream
Event stream defines the events which goes through a particular flow by defining the event's attributes and it's types. An event stream can be created in the DAS Management Console as follows.
- Log into the DAS Management Console and click on the Main tab. Under Manage, click Streams to open the Available Event Streams page.
- Click Add Event Stream to open the Define New Event Stream page.
Enter information as follows to create a new event stream named
org.wso2.event.sensor.stream.
Event Stream DetailsParameter Name Value Event Stream Name org.wso2.event.sensor.streamEvent Stream Version 1.0.0 Stream Attributes
Click Add to add the attribute after entering the attribute name and attribute type.
Attribute Category Attribute Attribute Type Meta Data timestamp long isPowerSaverEnabled bool sensorId int sensorName string Correlation Data longitude double latitude double Payload Data humidity float sensorValue double Click Add Event Stream to save the information.
Step 2: Add an event receiver
Events received by the DAS server have different formats such as XML, JSON and Map. Event receivers transform these events to WSO2 Events that can be directed to an event stream defined in the DAS.
In this step, you will create an event receiver named httpReceiver which directs events to the event stream named org.wso2.event.sensor.stream that was created in Step 1. The receiver can be created using the Management Console as follows.
- Log into the DAS Management Console and click on the Main tab. Under Manage, click Receivers to open the Available Receivers page.
- Click Add Event Receiver to open the Create a New Event Receiver page.
Enter information as follows to create the new event receiver named
httpReceiver.
Parameter Name Value Event Receiver Name httpReceiver Input Event Adapter Type http Transports all Event Stream org.wso2.event.sensor.stream Message Format json - Click Add Event Receiver to save the information.
Step 3: Add an Event Publisher
Event publishers publish events processed by the WSO2 servers to external applications. These events are published via HTTP, Kafka, JMS, etc. in JSON, XML, Map, text, and WSO2Event formats to various endpoints and data stores.
In this step, you will create an event publisher named loggerPublisher to publish events from the event stream named org.wso2.event.sensor.stream that was created in Step 1. Since the output event adapter type of this publisher is logger, the events published will be logged in the DAS CLI in text format. The publisher can be created using the Management Console as follows.
- Log into the DAS Management Console and click on the Main tab. Under Manage, click Publishers to open the Available Publishers page.
- Click Add Event Publisher to open the Create a New Event Publisher page.
Enter information as follows to create the new event publisher named
loggerPublisher.
Parameter Name Description Event Publisher Name loggerPublisher Event Source org.wso2.event.sensor.stream Output Event Adapter Type logger Message Format text
Click Add Event Publisher to save the information.
Step 4: View the simple event flow
This step involves viewing the event flow you created and understanding how the different elements in it are connected. The event flow can be viewed as follows.
- Log into the DAS Management Console if you are not already logged in.
- Click the Main tab and then click Flow to open the DAS Event Flow page. The event flow you created is displayed as follows.
This diagram indicates thathttpReceiverforwards events to theorg.wso2.event.sensor.stream.1.0.0stream. These events are then published by theloggerPublisher.
Receive and log events
Step 5: Receive events via HTTP transport
Navigate to <DAS_HOME>/samples/cep/producers/http and run the following command which sends events to the DAS via the HTTP transport.
ant -Durl=http://localhost:9763/endpoints/httpReceiver -Dsn=0001
This builds the HTTP client and sends the events in the <DAS_HOME>/samples/cep/artifacts/0001/httpReceiver.txt file to the httpReceiver endpoint. You can view the details of the events that are sent as shown in the log below. These logs are published by the publisher created in Step 3.
The logs of the JSON events received by the DAS server will be displayed in the CLI as shown in the example below.
Processing events with an execution plan
Step 6: Add another event stream
- Log into the DAS Management Console and click on the Main tab. Under Manage, click Streams to open the Available Event Streams page.
- Click Add Event Stream to open the Define New Event Stream page.
- Enter information as follows to create the event stream named
org.wso2.event.sensor.filtered.stream.
Event Stream Details
Paramater Name Value Event Stream Name org.wso2.event.sensor.filtered.stream Event Stream Version 1.0.0 Stream Attributes
Attribute Category Attribute Attribute Type Meta Date timestamp long sensorName string Correlation Data longitude double latitude double Payload Data sensorValue double Click Add Event Stream to save the information.
Step 7: Add an execution plan
An Execution Plan can import one or more streams from the server for processing and push zero or more output streams back to the server. For more information, see Analyzing Data.
- Log into the DAS Management Console and click on the Main tab. Under Manage, click Execution Plans to open the Available Execution Plans page.
- Click Add Execution Plan to open the Create a New Execution Plan page.
Enter information as follows to create the new execution plan
Parameter Name Value Import Stream org.wso2.event.sensor.stream:1.0.0 As sensorStream Value Of filteredStream StreamId org.wso2.event.sensor.filtered.stream:1.0.0 - Click Import and then click Export. The section for query expressions will be updated as shown below.
Add the following query expression.
from sensorStream [sensorValue > 100] select meta_timestamp, meta_sensorName, correlation_longitude, correlation_latitude, sensorValue insert into filteredStreamThis query includes the value
sensorValue > 100. Therefore, when the execution plan forwards events fromorg.wso2.event.sensor.stream:1.0.0toorg.wso2.event.sensor.filtered.stream:1.0.0, events in which the value for thesensorValueattribute is less than 100 will be dropped.- Click Validate Query Expressions. Once you get a message to confirm that the queries are valid, click Add Execution Plan.
Publish events in dashboard
Step 8: Add a UI event publisher
In this step, you will add another publisher named uiPublisher to publish events from the stream named org.wso2.event.sensor.filtered stream to the Analytics Dashboard.
- Log into the DAS Management Console and click on the Main tab. Under Manage, click Publishers to open the Available Publishers page.
- Click Add Event Publisher to open the Create a New Event Publisher page.
Enter information as follows to create the new event publisher named
UIPublisher.
Parameter Name Description Event Publisher Name uiPublisher Event Source org.wso2.event.sensor.filtered.stream:1.0.0 Output Event Adapter Type ui Message Format wso2event Click Add Event Publisher to save the information.
Step 9: Create a dashboard and a gadget
WSO2 Analytics Dashboard will be used as the tool to analyse the output of the event flow you created in this guide. This step creates a dashboard and a gadget which analyses events from the org.wso2.event.sensor.filtered.stream stream published by the uiPublisher publisher.
- Log into the DAS Management Console. In the Main tab, click Analytics Dashboard.
- Log into the Analytics Dashboard with your username and password.
- Click the menu icon and then click Gadgets to open the Gadgets page as demonstrated below.
- Click GENERATE GADGET, and enter values in the Generate a Gadget wizard as follow.
- In the Select Provider field, select Realtime Data Source . Then click Next .
- In the Event Stream field, select org.wso2.event.sensor.filtered.stream:1.0.0 . Then click Next.
Configure a chart as follows.
Parameter Name Value Gadget Name Sensor Value VS Timestamp Select Chart Type Line Chart X-Axis TIMESTAMP X type time Y-Axis sensorValue Y type default Color domain sensorName Max length 30 - Click Add to Store, and then click Go to Portal. the Dashboards page appears again.
- Click CREATE DASHBOARD to open the Create a Dashboard page. Configure a new dashboard as follows.
Enter a name and a description for the new dashboard as follows, and click Next.
Parameter Name Value Name of your Dashboard Sensor Statistics Description This dashboard indicates the sensor value at different times in a particular location. - Select the Single Column layout. A message appears to indicate that the dashboard is successfully created.
- Click the icon for gadgets. Then select and drag Sensor Value VS Timestamp gadget to the first column as demonstrated above.
Step 10: Send Events to the HTTP Receiver via Curl Command
This step sends events to the receiver named httpReceiver using a curl command. These events are processed by the event flow you created, and published in the DAS CLI by the publisher created in Step 3.
Issue the following curl command.
curl -X POST -d "{ "event": { "metaData": { "timestamp": 1439468145264 , "isPowerSaverEnabled": false, "sensorId": 701, "sensorName": temperature }, "correlationData": { "longitude": 4.504343, "latitude": 20.44345 }, "payloadData": { "humidity": 2.3, "sensorValue": 96.5 } } }" http://localhost:9763/endpoints/httpReceiver --header "Content-Type:application/json"The following log will appear in the DAS CLI.
Note that the Sensor Statistics dashboard you created does not get updated. This is because the value for the
sensorValueattribute is less than 100 in this event. Therefore, it gets dropped by the filter you created in the execution plan, and as a result, it is not forwarded to theorg.wso2.event.sensor.filtered.stream:1.0.0stream.Issue another command with a value greater than 100 for the
sensorValueattribute as follows.
curl -X POST -d "{ "event": { "metaData": { "timestamp":1439467524120 , "isPowerSaverEnabled": false, "sensorId": 701, "sensorName": temperature }, "correlationData": { "longitude": 4.504343, "latitude": 20.44345 }, "payloadData": { "humidity": 2.3, "sensorValue": 156 } } }" http://localhost:9763/endpoints/httpReceiver --header "Content-Type:application/json"The following log will appear in he DAS CLI.
The event is forwarded to the
org.wso2.event.sensor.filtered.stream:1.0.0stream since the value for thesensorValueattribute is greater than 100. Therefore, the Sensor Statistics dashboard will be updated as shown below.
Issue more curl commands as follows with several timestamps and sensor values.
curl -X POST -d "{ "event": { "metaData": { "timestamp": 1439467524120 , "isPowerSaverEnabled": false, "sensorId": 701, "sensorName": temperature }, "correlationData": { "longitude": 4.504343, "latitude": 20.44345 }, "payloadData": { "humidity": 2.3, "sensorValue": 156 } } }" http://localhost:9763/endpoints/httpReceiver --header "Content-Type:application/json"curl -X POST -d "{ "event": { "metaData": { "timestamp": 1439467890957 , "isPowerSaverEnabled": false, "sensorId": 701, "sensorName": temperature }, "correlationData": { "longitude": 4.504343, "latitude": 20.44345 }, "payloadData": { "humidity": 2.3, "sensorValue": 170 } } }" http://localhost:9763/endpoints/httpReceiver --header "Content-Type:application/json"curl -X POST -d "{ "event": { "metaData": { "timestamp": 1439467951518 , "isPowerSaverEnabled": false, "sensorId": 701, "sensorName": temperature }, "correlationData": { "longitude": 4.504343, "latitude": 20.44345 }, "payloadData": { "humidity": 2.3, "sensorValue": 131 } } }" http://localhost:9763/endpoints/httpReceiver --header "Content-Type:application/json"curl -X POST -d "{ "event": { "metaData": { "timestamp": 1439467992936 , "isPowerSaverEnabled": false, "sensorId": 701, "sensorName": temperature }, "correlationData": { "longitude": 4.504343, "latitude": 20.44345 }, "payloadData": { "humidity": 2.3, "sensorValue": 126 } } }" http://localhost:9763/endpoints/httpReceiver --header "Content-Type:application/json"curl -X POST -d "{ "event": { "metaData": { "timestamp": 1439468050928 , "isPowerSaverEnabled": false, "sensorId": 701, "sensorName": temperature }, "correlationData": { "longitude": 4.504343, "latitude": 20.44345 }, "payloadData": { "humidity": 2.3, "sensorValue": 145 } } }" http://localhost:9763/endpoints/httpReceiver --header "Content-Type:application/json"Since the value for the
sensorValueattribute is greater than 100 in all these events, the dashboard will be updated as shown below. These events will also be logged in the DAS CLI.Send sensor events with several timestamps and sensorValues, The dashboard will now get effected with the sent event since sensorValue is over 100 and the event gets sent to the dashboard. These events will get logged in the DAS CLI as well.
Deploying execution plans using templates
Step 11: Create and deploy a template
In this step, the configurations of the WSO2 DAS artifacts that you previously created are added as templates via the Template Manager tool. This allows you to reuse the same artifacts for different scenarios where the sensor value differs.
Copy the following template, and save it with the
SensorStatistics.xml
file name in the <DAS_HOME>/repository/conf/template-manager/domain-template directory.
The $sensorValue attribute in this template is defined as a configurable parameter by using the $ sign in the attribute name. Therefore, in each scenario you create from this template, you can specify a different sensor value based on which the events are to be filtered.

Step 12: Configure a template
Before you carry out this step
- Copy
Sensor Value VS Timestampgadget which resides in the<DAS_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/portal/store/carbon.super/fs/gadget/directory and copy the directory towso2das-3.1.0/repository/conf/template-manager/gadget-templatesand rename it aslineChart. - Delete the following artifacts that you have already configured in steps 1 - 9.
org.wso2.event.sensor.streamevent streamorg.wso2.event.sensor.filtered.stream event streamhttpReceiverevent receiverExecutionPlanexecution planloggerPublisherevent publisheruiPublisherevent publisherSensor Value VS TimestampgadgetSensor Statisticsdashboard
This step involves adding execution plan and stream configurations using the template you created and added in the previous step.
- If the DAS server was running when you created and deployed the template, restart the DAS server.
- Log into the DAS Management Console. Click the Main tab and then click Template Manager. Create a new scenario as demonstrated below.
- Click on SensorStatistics to open the Deployed Scenarios page. Then click Create New Scenario to open the Edit Scenario page.
Enter information as shown in the table below and click Add scenario .
Parameter Name Value Scenario Type AnalyzeSensorStatisticsScenario Name FilterSensorValues Description Filter events with a sensor value greater than 120 Sensor Value 120 A message appears to inform you that the scenario is successfully created. Close the message. The scenario you configured is displayed in the Deployed Scenarios page
Step 13: View the elements of the event flow
Log into the DAS Management Console and click the Main tab. Then click Flow to open the DAS Event Flow page. The complete event flow you created in this guide is displayed as follows.
This event flow is displayed when you create the artifacts manually, as well as when you deploy them in a template and then create a scenario.
The following is a summary of this guide which describes each element in the event flow.
Deploying the sample C-App
You can deploy artifacts (i.e. event streams, event receivers, Spark scripts, event publishers, and dashboards etc.) as composite Carbon Applications (C-Apps) in WSO2 DAS. This guide uses the SMART_HOME.car file as the toolbox which contains all the artifacts required for this guide in a single package. For more information on C-Apps, see Packaging Artifacts as a C-App Archive. Follow the steps below to deploy and use a sample C-App in WSO2 DAS.
- Log in to the DAS management console using the following URL:
https://<DAS_HOST>:<DAS_PORT>/carbon/ - Click Main, and then click Add in the Carbon Applications menu.
- Click Choose File, and upload the
<DAS_HOME>/capps/Smart_Home.carfile as shown below.
- Click Main , then click Carbon Applications, and then click List view, to see the uploaded Carbon application as shown below.
You can use the Event Flow feature of WSO2 DAS to visualize how the components that you created above are connected with each other. Also, you can use it for verification purposes i.e. to validate the flow of the events within the DAS as shown below.
Publishing events
Once you develop the complete Event Flow, you can test the flow by publishing the events to the DAS. There are several methods of publishing to DAS. In this section, the events are published via a log file.
Navigate to <DAS_HOME>/samples/smart-home/ directory in a new CLI tab, and execute the following command to run the data publisher: ant
This executes a Java client based on the <DAS_HOME>/samples/smart-home/src/main/java/org/wso2/carbon/das/smarthome/sample/SmartHomeAgent.java file. This Java client generates random events and sends them to the event stream that is deployed through the Smart_Home.car file.
Viewing the output
Follow the steps below to view the presentation of the output in the Analytics Dashboard.
Log in to the Management console, if you are not already logged in.
Click Main , and then click Analytics Dashboard in the Dashboard menu.
Log in to the Analytics Dashboard, using
admin/admincredentials.Click the DASHBOARDS button in the top menu. The dashboard deployed by the C-App is displayed as shown below.
Click the View button of the corresponding Dashboard. The following charts are displayed.
Follow the steps below to undeploy the C-App, which you already uploaded in this section before proceeding to the next sections.
- Log in to the DAS Management Console using
admin/admincredentials, if you are not already logged in. - Click Main, then click Carbon Applications, and then click List view, to see the uploaded Carbon application.
- Click on the Delete option to delete the Carbon application as shown below.
- Refresh the Web browser screen, and check if the
SMART_HOME.carfile has beed removed from the list of all available C-Apps.
Batch and interactive analytics
You can perform batch analytics when event streams are configured to be persisted for later batch processing scenarios such as data aggregation, summarization etc. WSO2 DAS batch analytics engine is powered by Apache Spark, which accesses the underlying data storage and executes programs to process the event data. The DAS provides an SQL-like query language to create the jobs through scripts that need to be executed.
Step 1: Persist event stream
In this step, the org.wso2.event.sensor.stream and org.wso2.event.sensor.filtered.stream event streams that you previously created are persisted so that the data received by them are stored in the databases configured for WSO2 DAS by default.
- Log in the the WSO2 DAS Management Console if you are not already logged in.
- In the Main tab, click Streams to open the Available Event Streams page.
- Click Edit for the event stream
org.wso2.event.sensor.stream. This opens the Edit Event Stream page. - Click Next [Persist Event].
- Select the Persist Event Stream check box.
- Select the Persist Attribute check box for all the available attributes.
- Select the Index Column check box for the
sensoridattribute. - Click Save Event Stream to save the changes.
Step 2: Simulate events
In this step, multiple events are simulated to be stored in the data base for batch analytics.
- Download and save this file in a preferred location in your machine.
- Log into the DAS management console using the following URL:
https://<DAS_HOST>:<DAS_PORT>/carbon/. - Click Tools, and then click Event Simulator.
- Select
org.wso2.event.sensor.streamin the Event Stream Name field.
- Click Choose File, and then browse and upload the CSV file you downloaded and saved. Click Upload and refresh the page to view the uploaded file.
- Click Configure to open the Event Mapping Configuration dialog box. Enter a comma (
,) in the Field delimiter field, and click Configure.
- Click Play to start sending the events in the file. Click OK in the message that appears to confirm that the system has started sending events from the file. The events sent are logged in the CLI as shown below.
Step 3: Create and execute Spark scripts
In this exercise, a Spark query is written to process the data received by WSO2 DAS and stored in the databases.
- Log in to the DAS Management Console, if you are not already logged in.
- Click Main, and then click Scripts in the Batch Analytics menu to open the Available Analytics Scripts page.
- Click Add New Analytics Script.
Enter
BATCH_ANALYTICS_SCRIPTin the Script Name parameter. Enter the following Spark SQL script in the Spark SQL Queries parameter as shown below.
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE sensorData USING CarbonAnalytics OPTIONS (tableName "ORG_WSO2_EVENT_SENSOR_STREAM", schema "humidity FLOAT, sensorValue DOUBLE"); create temporary table highSensorVal using CarbonAnalytics OPTIONS (tableName "highSensorVal", schema "humidity FLOAT, sensorValue DOUBLE"); insert overwrite table highSensorVal select humidity, sensorValue from sensorData WHERE sensorValue > 100; Select * from highSensorVal
The above script does the following:
Loads data from the DAS Data Access Layer (DAL), and registers temporary tables in the Spark environment.
Performs batch processing by fetching the sensor values greater than 100 from
sensorDatatable.Writes back to a new DAL table named
highSensorVal.- Executes the following query:
Select * from highSensorVal
Click Add to save the script. Click OK in the message that appears to confirm that the script was successfully saved.
- Click Execute for the script.
The following is displayed to indicate that the queries were successfully executed.
You can obtain faster results by executing adhoc queries on the indexed attributes through an interactive Web console named the Interactive Analytics Console. Follow the procedure below to perform a batch analytics operation using the Interactive Analytics Console.
- Log into the DAS Management Console if you are not already logged in.
- In the Main tab, click Console to open the Interactive Analytics Console.
- Enter the following query in the console and press the Enter key.
Select * from highSensorVal
The output of the query is displayed as follows.
Step 4: Search for data
This step involves performing interactive analytics for data received by DAS and stored in the configured databases. Searching is supported by the indexing functionality of DAS powered by Apache Lucene. In this step, we search for a specific record by the sensorid attribute. This is possible because the sensorid attribute was persisted as an index column when you persisted the event stream.
- Log into the DAS Management Console if you are not already logged in.
- In the Main tab, click Data Explorer to open the Data Explorer page.
- In the Table Name parameter, select ORG_WSO2_EVENT_SENSOR_STREAM.
- Select the By Query option, and enter
meta_sensorid:501in the data field displayed.
- Click Search. The following records are displayed in the Results section.
Predictive Analytics
WSO2 DAS allows you to build predictive models that analyse data and make predictions.
In this exercise, a dataset is analyzed and a ML model is trained to predict the possibility of a person suffering with breast cancer when data relating to a set of other bodily characteristics is provided.
The dataset used in this scenario contains 10 features to provide data on bodily characteristics, and a response variable with the following labels.
| Label | Prediction |
|---|---|
| 2 | This value indicates that the situation is benign. |
| 4 | This value indicates that the situation is malignant. |
The following is a summary of the procedure to make a prediction via WSO2 DAS.
