Viewing Data with Kafka and ELK

Note: The section presumes experience with Kafka and the Elastic ELK stack and access to their running instances. These procedures include minimal instructions for installing and accessing the software, with links to the related websites.

Requirements

To view APM Stream data in Kafka and Kibana, meet these requirements:

• Access to Tidal Automation instance, version 6.2 or later.

  While APM Stream supports any TA instance, the availability of specific data is determined by:

  • The data available in and supported by the TA version in use. For example, SLA (Service Level Agreement) data in the SLA and SLARule objects became available TA Ver. 6.5.6.

  • The TA data that can be extracted by the APM Stream version in use. For example, all TA versions provided event notification information, but it was not accessible through APM Stream through APMEventNotification object until version 2.0.

• Access to a Kafka instance

• Access to an ELK environment, if you want to use Kibana.
