创建和管理 Connector

This page describes how to create and manage connectors in HStream Platform.

Create a connector

Connector has two types: source connector and sink connector. The source connector is used to ingest data from external systems into HStream Platform, while the sink connector is used to distribute data from HStream Platform to external systems.

Create a source connector

First, navigate to the Sources page and click the New source button to go to the Create a new source page.

In this page, you should first select the Connector type. Currently, HStream Platform supports the following source connectors:

  • MongoDB
  • MySQL
  • PostgreSQL
  • SQL Server
  • Generator

Click one of them to select it, and then the page will display the corresponding configuration form.

After filling in the configuration, click the Create button to create the source connector.

TIP

For more details about the configuration of each source connector, please refer to Connectors.

Create a sink connector

Create a sink connector is similar to create a source connector. First, navigate to the Sinks page and click the New sink button to go to the Create a new sink page.

Then the next steps are the same as creating a source connector.

Currently, HStream Platform supports the following sink connectors:

  • MongoDB
  • MySQL
  • PostgreSQL
  • Blackhole

View connectors

The Sources and Sinks pages display all the connectors in your account. For each connector, you can view the following information:

  • The Name of the connector.

  • The Created time of the connector.

  • The Status of the connector.

  • The Type of the connector.

  • Actions, which for the extra operations of the connector:

    • Duplicate: Duplicate the connector.
    • Delete: Delete the connector.

To view a specific connector, you can click the Name of the connector to go to the details page.

View connector details

The details page displays the detailed information of a connector:

  1. All the information in the connectors page.

  2. Different tabs are provided to display the related information of the connector:

    • Overview: Besides the basic information, also can view the metrics of the connector.
    • Config: View the configuration of the connector.
    • Consumption Process: View the consumption process of the connector.
    • Logs: View the tasks of the connector.

View connector overview

The Overview page displays the metrics of a connector. The default duration is last 5 minutes. You can select different durations to control the time range of the metrics:

  • last 5 minutes
  • last 1 hour
  • last 3 hours
  • last 6 hours
  • last 12 hours
  • last 1 day
  • last 3 days
  • last 1 week

The metrics of the connector include (with last 5 minutes as an example), from left to right:

  • Processed records throughput: The number of records that the connector processes per second.
  • Processed bytes throughput: The number of bytes that the connector processes per second.
  • Total records (Sink): The number of records that the connector processes in the last 5 minutes.
