Creating files or database tables

Talend Activity Monitoring Console is an application that allows you to monitor Job executions. The Job executions are monitored using three files or database tables that relate to the following data:

  • collection of logs,

  • component statistics,

  • data flow volumes.

To store this data, you need to create three files or database tables respectively using the schema of the tLogCatcher, tStatCatcher, tFlowMeterCatcher components (present in the Palette of your Talend Studio).

The files can be empty, and their structure will be generated automatically if you use files as datasources to store the activity monitoring information.

Information noteNote: The installation of the <AMC> Database and the use of the Talend Activity Monitoring Console in the Studio is optional for Talend ESB and is only required if the tFlowMeterCatcher, tLogCatcher and tStatCatcher components are used. These components can be used in Jobs (for example, ESB Consumer Jobs) for REST and Soap ESB Service Providers. Only the tLogCather is supported for now as the other components are not fully supporting the "Keep listening" environments, and Routes currently can not use these components.

To create the database tables to be used as data sources for the monitoring console, do the following:

  1. Create a database that you name amc, for example.

  2. Launch Talend Studio.

  3. Create a Job that contains three tCreateTable components.

  4. Define the connection parameters to the amc in the three tCreateTable components.

  5. Define the data structure by taking the schema provided in the components: tLogCatcher, tStatCatcher and tFlowMeterCatcher.

    Note that after creating the tStatCatcher, tLogCatcher and tFlowMeterCatcher tables, you have to make sure the moment data type is set to datetime instead of date.

To create these tables in a MySQL database, you can also use the following script:
-- MySQL dump 10.13  Distrib 5.5.24, for Win32 (x86)
--
-- Host: 127.0.0.1    Database: amc
-- ------------------------------------------------------
-- Server version	5.5.24-log

Now that the Talend Activity Monitoring Console database has been created, you can monitor Job executions either from Talend Studio or from the Monitoring page of Talend Administration Center.

To do so, you simply need to tell Talend Studio and Talend Administration Center about the connection parameters to these tables. For more information, refer to Configuring datasources for the monitoring console.
