Hi all,
after talking to some first-time users I discovered that our live dashboard is often used as some kind of “debugging feature” to better see if the created pipeline performs as expected. This leads to quite a confusing and time-consuming pipeline development approach (creating a pipeline, appending dashboard sinks everywhere, going to the dashboard, checking the output, going back to the pipeline editor to change the pipeline and so on). So I quickly implemented a “preview feature” that can be enabled in the pipeline editor and then shows the output for each pipeline element in form of a table below the element (data streams & data processors and limited to 1 event/sec to avoid web browser performance issues). In the background, a pipeline is started and stopped and we reuse the pipeline element live data fetcher that was already implemented for data streams. It would be great if you could check if the feature is working as expected or if any changes are needed or critical bugs occur, as the implementation of the feature seemed to be a bit too easy and I’ve expected it to be much more complicated 😉 Dominik
