Manage Processors and Analytics Flows

the instances canvas provides controls for managing both the canvas layout and individual processors and flows navigate to analytics > instances to access these options analytics canvas management options action details \[1] search for processor instance use the drop down list to highlight selected processors on the canvas click x in the search for processor instance field to clear the search \[2] canvas menu opens canvas menu options add processors and processor connections docid\ v37iaolfgyw 7glazjt1n add flow see manage flow groups docid\ zuommzuhmlm8fa9gtxbp7 paste flow available after you copy a flow clear group deletes all flows, processors, and the flow group remove all processors deletes all flows and processors in the flow group \[3] show debug window displays the debug panel click view processor output on an input or function processor to view its live output the debug panel cannot display output from output processors because output processors publish data immediately upon receipt once published, the data is no longer available in the ui \[4] import/export menu import analytics flows as json files, or export flows by selecting individual flow groups or all groups \[5] save saves the flow group \[6] refresh refreshes all analytics flows in the selected group \[7] re arrange processors adjusts the layout and position of processors on the canvas \[8] canvas zoom in and out changes the zoom level for better visibility of flows \[9] canvas view two view options standard displays each processor at full size compact collapses processors to icons icons appear in green, yellow, or red to indicate status hover over a processor to access its actions processor and flow management options action details \[1] status icon hover over to view the status and id of the processor \[2] enable/disable processor activates or deactivates the selected processor \[3] view processor output displays processor output in the debug panel the debug panel cannot display output from output processors because output processors publish data immediately upon receipt once published, the data is no longer available in the ui \[4] processor menu options vary by processor type toggle passthrough by default, a function processor passes only the function result to the output processor, dropping input fields such as device id and timestamp enable this to pass the original input data through alongside the function result copy topic copies the output topic from an output processor use the copied topic to view messages in the flows manager module by adding it to a datahub subscribe or access subscribe node edit update the processor's configuration copy flow copies the flow after copying, use paste flow from the canvas menu remove processor remove flow invoke processor schedules a database batch processor to start and stop at a specified date and time reset processor instance identifier copies the instance id and flow ids \[5] edit or break a connection click a connection between two processors to edit the connection name, or click break link to remove the connection view the canvas legend open the canvas legend to display color coded information about processor and connection types
