Meteo is a realtime event processing engine. It can get time series data from a variety of sources and leverages Esper to do runtime analysis. Meteo can output data to different rendering engines for graphing purposes.

Meteo can currently take data from:

• Flat files

• Netezza

• ActiveMQ

• JMX

Meteo can currently publish data to:

• Flat files

• Arecibo

• Graphite

• OpenTSDB

• Reconnoiter (via Resmon)

All events that esper should process, need to be declared in the esper configuration file beforehand. A sample configuration file looks like this:

<esper-configuration xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
                     xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="esper-configuration-1-0.xsd">
    <event-type name="PerfEvent">
        <java-util-map>
            <map-property name="html_time" class="long"/>
        </java-util-map>
    </event-type>
    <event-type name="LoadAverage">
        <java-util-map>
            <map-property name="timestamp" class="long"/>
            <map-property name="SystemLoadAverage" class="long"/>
        </java-util-map>
    </event-type>
    <plugin-aggregation-function name="tp" function-class="com.ning.metrics.meteo.esper.TPAggregator"/>
    <plugin-view namespace="ning" name="predict"
                 factory-class="com.ning.metrics.meteo.esper.HoltWintersViewFactory"/>
</esper-configuration>

There is a REST interface one can use to upload streams at runtime. For instance, if newStream.json is:

{
    "name": "Counts",

    "sql": [
        "select count(*) as count from Visit.win:time(1 sec) "
    ],

    "routes": [
        {
            "name": "Jansky",
            "filters": [ "count" ]
        }
    ]
}

One can add it at runtime by POSTing it to /rest/1.0:

curl -v -XPOST http://127.0.0.1:8080/rest/1.0 -H'Content-type: application/json' [email protected]

Meteo ships with a special publisher (com.ning.metrics.meteo.publishers.ResourceListener) to expose data over HTTP (jsonp). This is useful for graphing purposes (see github.com/pierre/metrics-dashboard for an example on how to use it with d3.js).

To use it, you need to add it as a publisher and configure a stream appropriately:

"publishers": [
    {
        "name": "Jansky",
        "type": "com.ning.metrics.meteo.publishers.ResourceListener",
        "@class": "com.ning.metrics.meteo.publishers.ResourcePublisherConfig"
    }
],

"streams": [
    {
        "name": "Visitors",

        "sql": [
            "select sourceIpAddress as ip from Visit.win:time(1 sec)"
        ],

        "routes": [
            {
                "name": "Jansky",
                "filters": [ "ip" ]
            }
        ]
    }
]

You can now access the data via the /rest/1.0/{stream_name}/{esper_attribute} endpoint, e.g.:

curl http://127.0.0.1:8080/rest/1.0/Visitors/ip ; echo
