In this lesson, you understand the various functions you can perform on the dashboard.
Lesson Concepts
After you create the objects during the design time, you need to deploy the objects so that they start functioning in the corresponding services in the run-time environment. The sources and supporting objects are deployed in the source controller, the rules and supporting objects are deployed in the event processor, and the responders and supporting objects are deployed in the responder controller. After you deploy the objects, you can perform various tasks for the deployed objects. This lesson gives you an understanding of the tasks you can perform using the features on the dashboard.
Lesson Objectives
In this lesson, you learn the following tasks:
Perform tasks for sources deployed on the source controller
Perform tasks for topics deployed on the source controller
Perform tasks for rules deployed on the event processor
Perform tasks for responses deployed on the responder controller
General functions on the dashboard, such as setting the time line, purging the topology and services, and viewing errors, if any.
Lesson Prerequisite
Before you start this lesson, you must perform the following tasks:
Navigate to the dashboard and verify if the default application services are running. During this time, no objects appear in the right pane of the dashboard. You can see the default source controller, the default event processor, and the default responder controller. All services are started on the default node .
Deploy the rule, source, and responder. Go to the dashboard and verify that the objects are deployed. You can view the source in the Default Source Controller. You can also view the objects associated with the source such as the topic and its details. You can view the rules and the associated objects when you select the event processor. You can view the responders and the associated objects when you select the responder controller.
