Edge Delta Pipeline Configuration v3

Edge Delta Pipelines can be configured visually using Visual Pipelines.

Recap:

A Fleet is one or more sets of agents all configured by a single Pipeline definition. One Fleet can consists of sets of agents in different environments.

Overview

Visual Pipelines is a tool you can use to view and modify your Pipeline configurations.

Requirements

The Visual Pipelines tool requires Fleets with an agent version of 0.1.71 or higher. See here for more information.

View a Pipeline

  1. In the Edge Delta App, click Pipelines.
  2. Select the Fleet with the Pipeline you want to view.
  3. Click View/Edit Pipeline.

Nodes

The v3 configuration structure is a graph consisting of three types of nodes, the links between them, and the data handled by the pipeline:

View Mode

When not in Edit Mode. the Pipeline lists the outgoing data rate for each node. Using this view you can quickly see how the configuration contributes to the overall pipeline efficiency.

See Configuring a Pipeline to build your data pipeline.

Filter Pipeline

You can apply filters to the Sources and Destinations to view only the connections between the selected objects. Note this changes the view only, not the pipeline configuration.

For example, you can view the data flow along the pipeline between only the Kubernetes source and the Log destination:

YAML Only Parameters

Some configuration v3 parameters are advanced or in beta, requiring them to be configured in YAML using a text editor rather than Visual Pipelines.

Applying Changes

After making changes to a Pipeline configuration using the Edge Delta Web UI, there is no need to restart or reinstall the Edge Delta Fleet. The configuration settings will be automatically applied after a few minutes.
