Record Analyzer

An encapsulation of the Kibana GUI that enables flexible analysis and dashboarding of Infinit.e's new "record" object.

Ingest of records into Infinit.e is currently only possible via the logstash harvester. (Later on it will be possible to create records using the custom engine or from the standard harvester).

Most of the documentation on the main Kibana site holds for the Infinit.e implementation.

The following are Infinit.e-specific details:

• The widget only renders records for the selected communities from the main GUI source manager (not to be confused with the source editor in the Infinit.e manager!)
• When records are ingested, there are two modes: "streaming: true", and "streaming: false"
  • In "streaming" mode, records are only retained for 30 days. 
  • In "stashed" mode, records are retained until manually deleted
• The "View Live" and "View Saved" toggle buttons on the widget toolbar toggle between viewing of these two modes.
• In the Kibana widget all users can see all dashboards. The Infinit.e version is more restrictive:
  • Dashboards are stored as Infinit.e shares that can be edited/shared/deleted from the File Uploader
  • "Live" dashboards are only visible in "live" mode, and similarly for "Saved"
  • When a dashboard is first saved, it is shared across all currently selected communities and for the given live/stashed mode.
• If creating custom dashboard:
  • In live mode only "daily" timestamps are supported, together with the following index names:
    • "[logstash-]YYYY.MM.DD" or "[ls-]YYYY.MM.DD" - will shows records from all selected communities. (Just a short cut that maps to:)
    • "[recs_t_<community id>_]YYYY.MM.DD" - for any community id to which the user belongs. Note that this does not override the community selection in the main GUI.
  • In stashed mode, only "none" timestamps are supported, together with the following index names:
    • "_all" - will shows records from all selected communities. (Just a short cut that maps to:)
    • "recs_<community id>" - for any community id to which the user belongs. Note that this does not override the community selection in the main GUI.

Note that the Kibana web page can also be accessed in a normal browser window/tab, via: "<ROOT_URL>/infinit.e.records/static/kibana/". By default this will show "stashed" mode and all communities - this can be adjusted by the following URL parameters:

• "cids=<comma separated list of community ids>"
• "mode=<live|stashed>"

This view does not provide a login option - you must login via one of the standard routes (manager or main GUI).

Note finally that, as for all Javascript-based widgets, the "add to clipboard" function is not available.
