Create a streaming dashboard

In Pentaho User Console, create a new CDE dashboard. For instructions, see Create and save a new dashboard.

From the Data Sources perspective, add the data source type streaming over dataservices (found in the DATASERVICES Queries list).

Set the parameters as follows:

Parameter	Value
Name	Specify the name you want to assign to this data source. For example: `mydatasource`
Streaming Data Service Name	Specify the same Data Services name you created in the Prerequisites section above. For example: `streaming_dataservice`
Query	In SELECT * FROM dataservicename replace dataservicename with the identical data service name you entered in the Streaming Data Service Name parameter above. For example: SELECT * FROM "streaming_dataservice"
Window Mode	Select `Row Based` to indicate the window mode to use when this data source is used, which can be either row-based or time-based.
Window Size	Specify `50` to indicate the number of rows that a window will have (row-based), or the time frame (time-based) for which you want to capture new rows in the window.
Window Every	Specify `1` to indicate the rate at which each streaming data window is generated, either the number of rows (row-based) or the time in milliseconds (time-based).
Window Limit	Specify `0` to indicate the maximum number of rows (row-based) or milliseconds (time-based) which will be used to wait for a new window to be generated.
Component Refresh Period	Specify `2` to indicate the amount of time in seconds used by the component to refresh.

Create or apply an existing layout to the dashboard. For instructions, see Create the layout for the dashboard.

Add a table component to the layout and enter the following properties:

Parameter	Value
Datasource	Specify the same data source name you created for the Name parameter above. For example: mydatasource
Don't Block the UI While Executing	Select `True` to indicate that the user interface is not blocked while loading and executing this component.
Clears Before Pre Execution	Select `False` to indicate that Clear is not executed before the component's execution phase.

Add a Community Charting Components (CCC) Line Chart component to the layout.

For instructions, see Add a line chart. Give the Line Chart component the properties listed in the table below. Omit the optional parameters if you do not need the Tick requirement.

Parameter	Value
Datasource	Specify the same data source name you created for the Name parameter above. For example: mydatasource
Don't Block the UI While Executing	Select `True` to indicate that the UI is not blocked while loading and executing this dashboard.
Clears Before Pre Execution	Select `False` to indicate that Clear is not executed before the component's execution phase.
Animate	Select `False` to indicate that the chart should not show an entry animation every time it is fully rendered.
Render Mode (Optional)	Select `Partial - Same Metadata` to indicate the type of render to use when updating the component.
Sliding Window (Optional)	Select `True` to indicate the existence of a sliding window.
Base Axis Preserve Tick Alignment (Optional)	Select `True` to re-use the horizontal axis ticks for continuity.
New data adds to existing data (Optional)	Select `False` to indicate that new data replaces the existing data in the visualization.

To view and test your streaming dashboard, click the Preview Your Dashboard icon located in the CDE Perspectives toolbar.
