How to retrieve streamingdata from dataservice and use it in Pentaho CDE Dashboard?


I'm trying to display incoming streamingdata in a Pentaho dashboard. The incoming data are simple strings, which I would just like to display at the dashboard for now.

I created a kettle transformation, in which I bound a dataservice to the last step(MQTT-Producer). Within spoon, I tested the service and it seems to work fine. After uploading the kettle file, the service showed up in the service list (http://localhost:9090/pentaho/kettle/listServices). Working with the dashboard editor, I use 'streaming over dataservices' from the 'DATASERVICES Queries' as my datasource. At this point I didn't seem to have any success an was just trying out different panel options and dataservice properties.

I was following those tutorials:

https://help.pentaho.com/Documentation/8.2/Products/Data_Integration/Data_Services

https://help.pentaho.com/Documentation/8.2/Products/CTools/Create_Streaming_Service_Dashboard

What is it that I'm doing wrong?

Any help is appreciated.

cheers

update:

I changed the incoming streaming data to be two doubles. after some more playing around, I did connect to the data service, using an external tool. I did see the expected values within the database. My dashboard, however, still shows this error message:

Error processing component (ccclinechart)

The same kind of error occurs, when I try to view the sample real time dashboard. It can't process the chartComponent. Maybe I need to reconfigure some other things?


Solution

  • Found the mistake.

    Something went wrong with the Ports. After switching back to the default(8080) it worked just fine.

    There might be another way to adjust your ports-settings to the problem, but the easiest way to deal with this sort of thing is to switch back to default settings.
