Rules management
The eKuiper rule command line tools allows you to manage rules, such as create, show, drop, describe, start, stop and restart rules.
create a rule
The command is used for creating a rule. The rule’s definition is specified with JSON format, read rule for more detailed information.
create rule $rule_name '$rule_json' | create rule $rule_name -f $rule_def_file
The rule can be created with two ways.
- Specify the rule definition in command line. Notice that, the json string must be quoted.
Sample:
# bin/kuiper create rule rule1 '{"sql": "SELECT * from demo","actions": [{"log": {}},{"mqtt": {"server":"tcp://127.0.0.1:1883", "topic":"demoSink"}}]}'
The command create a rule named rule1
.
- Specify the rule definition in file. If the rule is complex, or the rule is already wrote in text files with well organized formats, you can just specify the rule definition through
-f
option.
Sample:
# bin/kuiper create rule rule1 -f /tmp/rule.txt
Below is the contents of rule.txt
.
{
"sql": "SELECT * from demo",
"actions": [
{
"log": {}
},
{
"mqtt": {
"server": "tcp://127.0.0.1:1883",
"topic": "demoSink"
}
}
]
}
show rules
The command is used for displaying all of rules defined in the server with a brief status.
show rules
Sample:
# bin/kuiper show rules
[
{
"id": "rule1",
"status": "Running"
},
{
"id": "rule2",
"status": "Stopped: canceled by error."
}
]
describe a rule
The command is used for print the detailed definition of rule.
describe rule $rule_name
Sample:
# bin/kuiper describe rule rule1
{
"sql": "SELECT * from demo",
"actions": [
{
"log": {}
},
{
"mqtt": {
"server": "tcp://127.0.0.1:1883",
"topic": "demoSink"
}
}
]
}
drop a rule
The command is used for drop the rule.
drop rule $rule_name
Sample:
# bin/kuiper drop rule rule1
Rule rule1 is dropped.
start a rule
The command is used to start running the rule.
start rule $rule_name
Sample:
# bin/kuiper start rule rule1
Rule rule1 was started.
stop a rule
The command is used to stop running the rule.
stop rule $rule_name
Sample:
# bin/kuiper stop rule rule1
Rule rule1 was stopped.
restart a rule
The command is used to restart the rule.
restart rule $rule_name
Sample:
# bin/kuiper restart rule rule1
Rule rule1 was restarted.
get the status of a rule
The command is used to get the status of the rule. If the rule is running, the metrics will be retrieved realtime. The status can be
- $metrics
- stopped: $reason
getstatus rule $rule_name
Sample:
# bin/kuiper getstatus rule rule1
{
"source_demo_0_records_in_total":5,
"source_demo_0_records_out_total":5,
"source_demo_0_exceptions_total":0,
"source_demo_0_process_latency_ms":0,
"source_demo_0_buffer_length":0,
"source_demo_0_last_invocation":"2020-01-02T11:28:33.054821",
...
"op_filter_0_records_in_total":5,
"op_filter_0_records_out_total":2,
"op_filter_0_exceptions_total":0,
"op_filter_0_process_latency_ms":0,
"op_filter_0_buffer_length":0,
"op_filter_0_last_invocation":"2020-01-02T11:28:33.054821",
...
}
get the topology structure of a rule
The command is used to get the status of the rule represented as a json string. In the json string, there are 2 fields:
- sources: it is a string array of the names of all source nodes. They are the entry of the topology.
- edges: it is a hash map of all edges categorized by nodes. The keys are the starting point of an edge. And the value is a collection of ending point.
gettopo rule $rule_name
Sample result:
{
"sources": [
"source_stream"
],
"edges": {
"op_preprocessor_stream": [
"op_project"
],
"op_project": [
"sink_log"
],
"source_stream": [
"op_preprocessor_stream"
]
}
}
