Monitoring the Stream Processing Job


After the stream processing job is published online, you can manage the job through various operations on the Stream Operation page, such as previewing the stream processing job, starting the job, pausing and stopping a running job, and checking the running status of the job.

Previewing the Stream Processing Job

Before starting the stream processing job, you can preview its running result with a small batch of data.

  1. On the Stream Operation page, click the job name to view the detailed information.
  2. Click the Preview button on the upper right corner of the page.
  3. Complete the preview configuration and run the preview.


The preview will intercept and process the latest real-time data. The processed data will not be saved in the DB. With the preview results, you can debug and tune the stream processing job. If the preview results meet the expectation, you can start the job directly.

Maintaining Stream Processing Jobs

On the Stream Operation page, you can perform the following actions for the stream processing jobs.

  • Start a job: Click the Start icon start_icon in the Operations column of the job list to start a job. The job will then run continuously in the streaming system.

    Note

    To start a new stream processing job, pause one or more running jobs and start the new job with the others together. The system will reallocate resources for all the jobs.

  • Pause a job: Click the Pause icon pause_icon in the Operations column of the job list to pause a running job. The cached data will be stored temporarily. When the job is started again, the computing will continue consuming data from the point when the job was paused. Note that the job cannot be paused for more than 24 hours.

  • Stop a job: Click the Stop icon stop_icon in the Operations column of the job list to stop a running job. After the job is stopped, the cached data and the data consumption offset information of the job will be cleared. When the job is started again, the computing will consume data from the point when the job was stopped. The computed data before the job was stopped is not stored.

  • View configuration: Select More > View from the Operations column to view the stream processing configuration details of the job.

  • Export configuration: Select More > Export from the Operations column to download the stream processing configuration file of the job.

  • Start/Pause multiple jobs: Select multiple jobs and click the Start or Pause button to start multiple jobs or pause multiple running jobs together.

Viewing Running Results

When the stream processing job is started, you can click the name of a running job to view its running status, including the summary of its running result and error logs.
