Edge Delta HTTP Output Node

Overview

The HTTP output node streams analytics and insights to streaming destinations. It sends raw bytes that are generated via marshaling items as JSON.

Example Configuration

nodes:
  - name: my_http_port
	type: http_output
	endpoint: http://localhost:4545/v0/collect

Required Parameters

name

A descriptive name for the node. This is the name that will appear in Visual Pipelines and you can reference this node in the yaml using the name. It must be unique across all nodes. It is a yaml list element so it begins with a - and a space followed by the string. It is a required parameter for all nodes.

nodes:
  - name: <node name>
    type: <node type>

type: http_output

The type parameter specifies the type of node being configured. It is specified as a string from a closed list of node types. It is a required parameter.

nodes:
  - name: <node name>
    type: <node type>

endpoint

The endpoint parameter defines the HTTP stream endpoint. It is specified as a string and is required for HTTP traffic.

nodes:
  - name: <node name>
    type: http_output
    endpoint: <http endpoint>

Optional Parameters

buffer_max_bytesize

The buffer_max_bytesize parameter configures the maximum byte size for total unsuccessful items. If the limit is reached, the remaining items are discarded until the buffer space becomes available. It is specified as a datasize.Size, has a default of 0 indicating no size limit, and it is optional.

nodes:
  - name: <node name>
    type: http_output
    endpoint: <http endpoint>
    buffer_max_bytesize: 2048

buffer_ttl

The buffer_ttl parameter configures the time-to-Live for unsuccessful items, which indicates when to discard them. It is specified as a duration, has a default of 10m, and it is optional.

nodes:
  - name: <node name>
    type: http_output
    endpoint: <http endpoint>
    buffer_ttl: 20m

buffer_path

The buffer_path parameter configures the path to store unsuccessful items. Unsuccessful items are stored there to be retried back (exactly once delivery). It is specified as a string and it is optional.

nodes:
  - name: <node name>
    type: http_output
    endpoint: <http endpoint>
    buffer_path: <path to unsuccessful items folder>

features

The features parameter defines which data types to stream to the destination. It is specified as a string of comma-separated list of item types. The default is metric,edac,cluster. It is optional.

nodes:
  - name: <node name>
    type: http_output
    endpoint: <http endpoint>
    features: <item type>,<item type>
