Configuring Data Persistence

WSO2 DAS introduces the ability to have a pluggable Data Access Layer (DAL). The DAL's configuration can be found at  <DAS_HOME>/repository/conf/analytics/analytics-config.xml.  An example is shown below.

sample analytics-config.xml
<analytics-dataservice-configuration>
   <!-- The name of the primary record store -->
   <primaryRecordStore>EVENT_STORE</primaryRecordStore>
   <!-- Analytics Record Store - properties related to record storage implementation -->
   <analytics-record-store name="EVENT_STORE">
      <implementation>org.wso2.carbon.analytics.datasource.rdbms.RDBMSAnalyticsRecordStore</implementation>
      <properties>
            <property name="datasource">WSO2_ANALYTICS_EVENT_STORE_DB</property>
            <property name="category">large_dataset_optimized</property>
      </properties>
   </analytics-record-store>
   <analytics-record-store name = "PROCESSED_DATA_STORE">
      <implementation>org.wso2.carbon.analytics.datasource.rdbms.RDBMSAnalyticsRecordStore</implementation>
      <properties>
            <property name="datasource">WSO2_ANALYTICS_PROCESSED_DATA_STORE_DB</property>
            <property name="category">large_dataset_optimized</property>
      </properties>
   </analytics-record-store>
   <!-- The data indexing analyzer implementation -->
   <analytics-lucene-analyzer>
       <implementation>org.apache.lucene.analysis.standard.StandardAnalyzer</implementation>
   </analytics-lucene-analyzer>
   <!-- The number of index data replicas the system should keep, for H/A, this should be at least 1, e.g. the value 0 means
        there aren't any copies of the data -->
   <indexReplicationFactor>1</indexReplicationFactor>
   <!-- The number of index shards, should be equal or higher to the number of indexing nodes that is going to be working,
        ideal count being 'number of indexing nodes * [CPU cores used for indexing per node]' -->
   <shardCount>6</shardCount>
   <!-- The amount of index data (in bytes) to be processed at a time by a shard index worker. Minimum value is 1000. -->
   <shardIndexRecordBatchSize>20971520</shardIndexRecordBatchSize>
   <!-- The interval in milliseconds, which a shard index processing worker thread will sleep during index processing operations. This setting
        along with the 'shardIndexRecordBatchSize' setting can be used to increase the final index batched data amount the indexer processes
        at a given time. Usually, higher the batch data amount, higher the throughput of the indexing operations, but will have a higher latency
        of record insertion to indexing. Minimum value of this is 10, and a maximum value is 60000 (1 minute). -->
   <shardIndexWorkerInterval>1500</shardIndexWorkerInterval>
   <!-- Data purging related configuration -->
   <analytics-data-purging>
      <!-- Below entry will indicate purging is enable or not. If user wants to enable data purging for cluster then this property
       need to be enable in all nodes -->
      <purging-enable>false</purging-enable>
      <cron-expression>0 0 0 * * ?</cron-expression>
      <!-- Tables that need include to purging. Use regex expression to specify the table name that need include to purging.-->
      <purge-include-tables>
         <table>.*</table>
         <!--<table>.*jmx.*</table>-->
      </purge-include-tables>
      <!-- All records that insert before the specified retention time will be eligible to purge -->

Analytics Record Store

The Analytics Record Store is the section that handles the storing of records that are received by WSO2 DAS in the form of events. This store contains raw data relating to events in a tabular form to be retrieved later.

The following record stores are configured in the <DAS_HOME>/repository/conf/analytics/analytics-config.xml  file by default.

Record Store TypeDefault NameDescription
Primary Store EVENT_STORE This record store is used to store the persisted incoming events of WSO2 DAS. It contains raw data in a tabular structure which can be used later.
Processed Data Store.PROCESSED_DATA_STOREThis record store is used to store summarised event data.
Configuring a record store 

The following is a sample configuration of a record store.

<analytics-record-store name="EVENT_STORE">
   <implementation>org.wso2.carbon.analytics.datasource.rdbms.RDBMSAnalyticsRecordStore</implementation>
   <properties>
         <property name="datasource">WSO2_ANALYTICS_EVENT_STORE_DB</property>
         <property name="category">large_dataset_optimized</property>
   </properties>
</analytics-record-store>

The following needs to be specified for each record store.

  • Name: A unique name for the record store.
  • Implementation: This specifies the implementation for the record store. For the record store to function, the provider for the datasource type mentioned in this implementation should be enabled in the <DAS_HOME>/repository/conf/datasources/analytics-datasources.xml file.
  • Record store specific properties: The properties that are defined per record store are described in the table below.

    PropertyDescription
    datasourceThe name of the datasource used to connect to the database used by the record store.

Once a record store is configured in the analytics-config.xml  file, you can select it as the record store for the required event streams. For more information, see Persisting Data for Interactive Analytics.

Analytics Indexing

By default, WSO2 DAS executes indexing operation when the server is started. The following system property can be used to disable the indexing operations if required.

  • For Windows: wso2server.bat -DdisableIndexing
  • Fow Linux: wso2server.sh -DdisableIndexing

This option allows you to create servers that are dedicated for specific operations such as event receiving, analytics, indexing, etc.

All index data are stored in the file system, partitioned into unit is known as shards. For detailed information about shard configuration and allocation, see Storing Index Data.

Configuring common parameters

Data purging parameters

ParameterDescriptionDefault Value
<purging-enable>This parameter specifies whether the functionality to purge data from event tables is enabled or not.false
<cron-expression>A regex expression to select the tables from which data should be purged.0 0 0 * * ?
<purge-include-tables>A list of event tables from which data should be purged can be defined as subelements of this element. 
<data-retention-days>The number of days for which the data should be retained in the event tables that were selected to have their data purged. All the data in these tables are cleared once the number of days that equal the value specified for this parameter have elapsed.365
