WSO2 Complex Event Processor 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. Not having to store this information enables it to process and present information with greater speed.

The following sections walk you through the basic features of the CEP to get you started.

Getting Started Video

You can also find the content here as the Getting Started Video

Before you begin,

Install Oracle Java SE Development Kit (JDK) version 1.7* or 1.8 and set the JAVA_HOME environment variable.
Download WSO2 CEP.
Start the CEP by going to <CEP_HOME>/bin using the command-line and executing wso2server.bat (for Windows) or wso2server.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 CEP Management Console as follows.

Log into the CEP 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 Details

Parameter Name	Value
Event Stream Name	org.wso2.event.sensor.stream
Event 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 CEP 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 CEP.

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 CEP 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 CEP CLI. The publisher can be created using the Management Console as follows.

Log into the CEP 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 CEP Management Console if you are not already logged in.
Click the Main tab and then click Flow to open the CEP Event Flow page. The event flow you created is displayed as follows.

This diagram indicates that httpReceiver forwards events to the org.wso2.event.sensor.stream.1.0.0 stream. These events are then published by the loggerPublisher.

Receive and log events

Step 5: Receive events via HTTP transport

Navigate to <CEP_HOME>/samples/cep/producers/http and run the following command which sends events to the CEP via the HTTP transport.

ant -Durl=http://localhost:9763/endpoints/httpReceiver -Dsn=0001

This builds the HTTP client and sends the events in the <CEP_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 CEP 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 CEP 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. Refer Processing Events for further explanations.

Log into the CEP 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 filteredStream
```
This query includes the value sensorValue > 100. Therefore, when the execution plan forwards events from org.wso2.event.sensor.stream:1.0.0 to org.wso2.event.sensor.filtered.stream:1.0.0, events in which the value for the sensorValue attribute 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 CEP 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 CEP 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 follows.
1. In the Event Stream field, select org.wso2.event.sensor.filtered.stream:1.0.0. Then click Next.
2. 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
3. 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.
1. 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.
2. Select the Single Column layout. A message appears to indicate that the dashboard is successfully created.
3. 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 CEP 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 CEP CLI.

Note that the Sensor Statistics dashboard you created does not get updated. This is because the value for the sensorValue attribute 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 the org.wso2.event.sensor.filtered. stream:1.0.0 stream.

Issue another command with a value greater than 100 for the sensorValue attribute 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 CEP CLI.

The event is forwarded to the org.wso2.event.sensor.filtered. stream:1.0.0stream since the value for the sensorValue attribute 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 sensorValue attribute is greater than 100 in all these events, the dashboard will be updated as shown below. These events will also be logged in the CEP 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 CEP CLI as well.

Deploying execution plans using templates

Step 11: Create and deploy a template

In this step, the configurations of the WSO2 CEP 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 <CEP_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 Timestamp gadget which resides in {PRODUCT_HOME}/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/portal/store/carbon.super/fs/gadget/ and copy the folder to wso2cep-4.2.0/repository/conf/template-manager/gadget-templates and rename it as lineChart
delete the following artifacts that you have already configured in steps 1 - 9.

- org.wso2.event.sensor.stream event stream
- org.wso2.event.sensor.filtered.stream event stream
- httpReceiver event receiver
- ExecutionPlan execution plan
- loggerPublisher event publisher
- uiPublisher event publisher
- Sensor Value VS Timestamp gadget
- Sensor Statistics dashboard

This step involves adding execution plan and stream configurations using the template you created and added in the previous step.

If the CEP server was running when you created and deployed the template, restart the CEP server.
Log into the CEP Management Console. Click the Main tab and then click Template Manager. Create a new scenario as demonstrated below.
1. Click on SensorStatistics to open the Deployed Scenarios page. Then click Create New Scenario to open the Edit Scenario page.
2. Enter information as shown in the table below and click Add scenario.
  Parameter Name Value
  Scenario Type AnalyzeSensorStatistics
  Scenario 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 CEP Management Console and click the Main tab. Then click Flow to open the CEP 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.

Element	Type	Role
httpReceiver	Event Receiver	Receives CEP events in multiple formats and converts them all into the WSO2 Event format before forwarding them to the `org.wso2.event.sensor.stream:1.0.0` event stream.
org.wso2.event.sensor.stream:1.0.0:	Event Stream	Defines the attributes on which selection of events to be processed by the event flow is based.
loggerPublisher	Event Publisher	Logs events from the `org.wso2.event.sensor.stream:1.0.0` event stream in the CEP CLI.
ExecutionPlan	Execution Plan	Applies a filter criteria to events in the `org.wso2.event.sensor.stream:1.0.0` event stream and forwards the filtered events to `org.wso2.event.sensor.filtered.stream:1.0.0` event stream.
SensorStatistics-FilterSensorValues	Execution Plan	This is an execution plan created from a template.
org.wso2.event.sensor.filtered.stream:1.0.0	Event Stream	Imports attributes from the `org.wso2.event.sensor.stream:1.0.0` event stream and receives events filtered from that event stream by the execution plan.
uiPublisher	Event Publisher	Publishes events from the `org.wso2.event.sensor.filtered.stream:1.0.0` event stream in the Analytics Dashboard.
