Dashboard Objects and Data Streams

You can connect most RTView dashboard objects to Event Stream Processor data streams. With this connection, dashboard objects can receive real-time data from streams.

There are two approaches for connecting to streams, depending on the type of stream:

If the stream produces updates and deletes against keyed entries, first set up an intermediate object known as a cache. You can then connect the dashboard objects.
If the stream contains insert elements, such as a timeseries, connect the dashboard object directly to the stream.

Creating a Cache
Use the RTView Builder to create a cache in a separate .rtv file, then import the file into the main dashboard file.
Example: Attaching an Object to a Cache
Attach a dashboard table object to a previously created cache.
Example: Attaching an Object to a Stream
Attach a Dashboard table object directly to a stream that contains only inserts.
