The kind of oplets used in the topology, as well as the stream tags included in the topology, are also visible in the console.## Adding the console web app to your applicationTo use the console, you must use the Quarks classes that provide the service to access the console web application or directly call the `HttpServer` class itself, start the server and then obtain the console URL.The easiest way to include the console in your application is to use the the `DevelopmentProvider` class. `DevelopmentProvider` is a subclass of `DirectProvider` and adds services such as access to the console web application and counter oplets used to determine tuple counts. You can get the URL for the console from the `DevelopmentProvider` using the `getService` method as shown in a hy
 pothetical application shown below:```javaimport java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;import quarks.console.server.HttpServer;import quarks.providers.development.DevelopmentProvider;import quarks.topology.TStream;import quarks.topology.Topology;public class TempSensorApplication {    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {        TempSensor sensor = new TempSensor();        DevelopmentProvider dp = new DevelopmentProvider();        Topology topology = dp.newTopology();        TStream tempReadings = topology.poll(sensor, 1, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);        TStream filteredReadings = tempReadings.filter(reading -> reading  80);        filteredReadings.print();        System.out.println(dp.getServices().getService(HttpServer.class).getConsoleUrl());        dp.submit(topology);    }}```Note that the console URL is being printed to `System.out`. The `filteredReadings` are as well, since `filteredReadings.print()` is being called in the application. You may need to scroll your te
 rminal window up to see the output for the console URL.Optionally, you can modify the above code in the application to have a timeout before submitting the topology, which would allow you to see the console URL before any other output is shown. The modification would look like this:```java// Print the console URL and wait for 10 seconds before submitting the topologySystem.out.println(dp.getServices().getService(HttpServer.class).getConsoleUrl());try {    TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(10);} catch (InterruptedException e) {    // Do nothing}dp.submit(topology);```The other way to embed the console in your application is shown in the `HttpServerSample.java` example (on [GitHub](https://github.com/apache/incubator-quarks/blob/master/samples/console/src/main/java/quarks/samples/console/HttpServerSample.java)). It gets the `HttpServer` instance, starts it, and prints out the console URL. Note that it does not submit a job, so when the console is displayed in the browser, there are no running jo
 bs and therefore no topology graph. The example is meant to show how to get the `HttpServer` instance, start the console web app and get the URL of the console.## Accessing the consoleThe console URL has the following format:`http://host_name:port_number/console`Once it is obtained from `System.out`, enter it in a browser window.If you cannot access the console at this URL, ensure there is a `console.war` file in the `webapps` directory. If the `console.war` file cannot be found, an exception will be thrown (in `std.out`) indicating `console.war` was not found.## ConsoleWaterDetector sampleTo see the features of the console in action and as a way to demonstrate how to monitor a topology in the console, let's look at the `ConsoleWaterDetector` sample (on [GitHub](https://github.com/apache/incubator-quarks/blob/master/samples/console/src/main/java/quarks/samples/console/ConsoleWaterDetector.java)).Prior to running any console applications, the `console.war` file must be built as menti
 oned above. If you are building quarks from a Git repository, go to the top level Quarks directory and run `ant`.Here is an example in my environment:```Susans-MacBook-Pro-247:quarks susancline$ pwd/Users/susancline/git/quarksSusans-MacBook-Pro-247:quarks susancline$ antBuildfile: /Users/susancline/git/quarks/build.xmlsetcommitversion:init:suball:init:project.component:compile:...[javadoc] Constructing Javadoc information...[javadoc] Standard Doclet version 1.8.0_71[javadoc] Building tree for all the packages and classes...[javadoc] Generating /Users/susancline/git/quarks/target/docs/javadoc/quarks/analytics/sensors/package-summary.html...[javadoc] Copying file /Users/susancline/git/quarks/analytics/sensors/src/main/java/quarks/analytics/sensors/doc-files/deadband.png to directory /Users/susancline/git/quarks/target/docs/javadoc/quarks/analytics/sensors/doc-files...[javadoc] Generating /Users/susancline/git/quarks/target/docs/javadoc/quarks/topology/package-summary.html...[javadoc]

To run this sample from the command line:```Susans-MacBook-Pro-247:quarks susancline$ pwd/Users/susancline/git/quarksSusans-MacBook-Pro-247:quarks susancline$ java -cp target/java8/samples/lib/quarks.samples.console.jar:. quarks.samples.console.ConsoleWaterDetector```If everything is successful, you'll start seeing output. You may have to scroll ba
 ck up to get the URL of the console:```Susans-MacBook-Pro-247:quarks susancline$ java -cp target/java8/samples/lib/quarks.samples.console.jar:. quarks.samples.console.ConsoleWaterDetectorMar 07, 2016 12:04:52 PM org.eclipse.jetty.util.log.Log initializedINFO: Logging initialized @176msMar 07, 2016 12:04:53 PM org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server doStartINFO: jetty-9.3.6.v20151106Mar 07, 2016 12:04:53 PM org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ContextHandler doStartINFO: Started o.e.j.s.ServletContextHandler@614c5515{/jobs,null,AVAILABLE}Mar 07, 2016 12:04:53 PM org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ContextHandler doStartINFO: Started o.e.j.s.ServletContextHandler@77b52d12{/metrics,null,AVAILABLE}Mar 07, 2016 12:04:53 PM org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.StandardDescriptorProcessor visitServletINFO: NO JSP Support for /console, did not find org.eclipse.jetty.jsp.JettyJspServletMar 07, 2016 12:04:53 PM org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ContextHandler doStartINFO: Started o.e.j.w.WebAppContext@2d554825{/console,

In this case, the URL is `http://localhost:57964/console`.Below is a screen shot of what you should see if everything is working properly:## ConsoleWaterDetector application scenarioThe application is now running in your browser. Let's discuss the scenario for the application.A county agency is responsible for ensuring the safety of resi
 dents well water. Each well they monitor has four different sensor types:* Temperature* Acidity* Ecoli* LeadThe sample application topology monitors 3 wells:* For the hypothetical scenario, Well1 and Well3 produce 'unhealthy' values from their sensors on occasion. Well2 always produces 'healthy' values.* Each well that is to be measured is added to the topology. The topology polls each sensor (temp, ecoli, etc.) for each well as a unit. A `TStream` is returned from polling the toplogy and represents a sensor reading. Each sensor reading for the well has a tag added to it with the reading type i.e, \"temp\", and the well id. Once all of the sensor readings are obtained and the tags added, each sensor reading is 'unioned' into a single `TStream`. Look at the `waterDetector` method for details on this.* Now, each well has a single stream with each of the sensors readings as a property with a name and value in the `TStream`. Next the `alertFilter` method is called on the `TStream` repre
 senting each well. This method checks the values for each well's sensors to determine if they are 'out of range' for healthy values. The `filter` oplet is used to do this. If any of the sensor's readings are out of the acceptable range the tuple is passed along. Those that are within an acceptable range are discarded.* Next the applications' `splitAlert` method is called on each well's stream that contains the union of all the sensor readings that are out of range. The `splitAlert` method uses the `split` oplet to split the incoming stream into 5 different streams. Only those tuples that are out of range for each stream, which represents each sensor type, will be returned. The object returned from `splitAlert` is a list of `TStream` objects. The `splitAlert` method is shown below:    ```java    public static List> splitAlert(TStream alertStream, int wellId) {        List> allStreams = alertStream.split(5, tuple -> {            if (tuple.get(\"temp\") != null) {                JsonOb
 ject tempObj = new JsonObject();                int temp = tuple.get(\"temp\").getAsInt();                if (temp = TEMP_ALERT_MAX) {                    tempObj.addProperty(\"temp\", temp);                    return 0;                } else {                    return -1;                }            } else if (tuple.get(\"acidity\") != null){                JsonObject acidObj = new JsonObject();                int acid = tuple.get(\"acidity\").getAsInt();                if (acid = ACIDITY_ALERT_MAX) {                    acidObj.addProperty(\"acidity\", acid);                    return 1;                } else {                    return -1;                }            } else if (tuple.get(\"ecoli\") != null) {                JsonObject ecoliObj = new JsonObject();                int ecoli = tuple.get(\"ecoli\").getAsInt();                if (ecoli >= ECOLI_ALERT) {                    ecoliObj.addProperty(\"ecoli\", ecoli);                    return 2;                } else {       
              return -1;                }            } else if (tuple.get(\"lead\") != null) {                JsonObject leadObj = new JsonObject();                int lead = tuple.get(\"lead\").getAsInt();                if (lead >= LEAD_ALERT_MAX) {                    leadObj.addProperty(\"lead\", lead);                    return 3;                } else {                    return -1;                }            } else {                 return -1;            }        });        return allStreams;    }    ```* Next we want to get the temperature stream from the first well and put a rate meter on it to determine the rate at which the out of range values are flowing in the stream    ```java    List> individualAlerts1 = splitAlert(filteredReadings1, 1);    // Put a rate meter on well1's temperature sensor output    Metrics.rateMeter(individualAlerts1.get(0));    ```* Next all the sensors for well 1 have tags added to the stream indicating the stream is out of range for that sensor and
  the well id. Next a sink is added, passing the tuple to a `Consumer` that formats a string to `System.out` containing the well id, alert type (sensor type) and value of the sensor.    ```java    // Put a rate meter on well1's temperature sensor output    Metrics.rateMeter(individualAlerts1.get(0));    individualAlerts1.get(0).tag(TEMP_ALERT_TAG, \"well1\").sink(tuple -> System.out.println(\"\\n\" + formatAlertOutput(tuple, \"1\", \"temp\")));    individualAlerts1.get(1).tag(ACIDITY_ALERT_TAG, \"well1\").sink(tuple -> System.out.println(formatAlertOutput(tuple, \"1\", \"acidity\")));    individualAlerts1.get(2).tag(ECOLI_ALERT_TAG, \"well1\").sink(tuple -> System.out.println(formatAlertOutput(tuple, \"1\", \"ecoli\")));    individualAlerts1.get(3).tag(LEAD_ALERT_TAG, \"well1\").sink(tuple -> System.out.println(formatAlertOutput(tuple, \"1\", \"lead\")));    ```Output in the terminal window from the `formatAlertOutput` method will look like this:```Well1 alert, temp value is 86Well3 
 alert, ecoli value is 2Well1 alert, ecoli value is 1Well3 alert, acidity value is 1Well1 alert, lead value is 12Well1 alert, ecoli value is 2Well3 alert, lead value is 10Well3 alert, acidity value is 10```Notice how only those streams that are out of range for the temperature sensor type show output.## Detecting zero tuple countsAt the end of the `ConsoleWaterDetector` application is this snippet of code, added after the topology has been submitted:```javadp.submit(wellTopology);while (true) {    MetricRegistry metricRegistry = dp.getServices().getService(MetricRegistry.class);    SortedMap counters = metricRegistry.getCounters();    Set> values = counters.entrySet();    for (Entry e : values) {        if (e.getValue().getCount() == 0) {            System.out.println(\"Counter Op:\" + e.getKey() + \" tuple count: \" + e.getValue().getCount());        }    }    Thread.sleep(2000);}```What this does is get all the counters in the `MetricRegistry` class and print out the name of the co
 unter oplet they are monitoring along with the tuple count if it is zero. Here is some sample output:```Counter Op:TupleCounter.quarks.oplet.JOB_0.OP_44 has a tuple count of zero!Counter Op:TupleCounter.quarks.oplet.JOB_0.OP_45 has a tuple count of zero!Counter Op:TupleCounter.quarks.oplet.JOB_0.OP_46 has a tuple count of zero!Counter Op:TupleCounter.quarks.oplet.JOB_0.OP_47 has a tuple count of zero!Counter Op:TupleCounter.quarks.oplet.JOB_0.OP_89 has a tuple count of zero!Counter Op:TupleCounter.quarks.oplet.JOB_0.OP_95 has a tuple count of zero!Counter Op:TupleCounter.quarks.oplet.JOB_0.OP_96 has a tuple count of zero!Counter Op:TupleCounter.quarks.oplet.JOB_0.OP_97 has a tuple count of zero!Counter Op:TupleCounter.quarks.oplet.JOB_0.OP_98 has a tuple count of zero!```To summarize what the application is doing:* Unions all sensor type readings for a single well* Filters all sensor type readings for a single well, passing on an object that only contains tuples for the object that 
 have at least one sensor type with out of range values* Splits the object that contained name/value pairs for sensor type and readings into individual sensor types returning only those streams that contain out of range values* Outputs to the command line the well id, sensor type and value that is out of range* Tags are added at various points in the topology for easier identification of either the well or some out of range condition* The topology contains counters to measure tuple counts since `DevelopmentProvider` was used* Individual rate meters were placed on `well1` and `well3`'s temperature sensors to determine the rate of 'unhealthy' values* Prints out the name of the counter oplets whose tuple counts are zero## Topology graph controlsNow that you have an understanding of what the application is doing, let's look at some of the controls in the console, so we can learn how to monitor the application. Below is a screen shot of the top controls: the controls that affect the Topol
 ogy Graph.* **Job**: A drop down to select which job is being displayed in the Topology Graph. An application can contain multiple jobs.* **State**: Hovering over the 'State' icon shows information about the selected job. The current and next states of the job, the job id and the job name.* **View by**: This select is used to change how the topology graph is displayed. The three options for this select are:  - Static flow  - Tuple count  - Oplet kind  - Currently it is set to 'Static flow'. This means the oplets (represented as circles in the topology graph) do not change size, nor do the lines or links (representing the edges of the topology graph) change width or position. The graph is not being refreshed when it is in 'Static flow' mode.* **Refresh interval**: Allows the user to select an interval between 3 - 20 seconds to refresh the tuple count values in the graph. Every X seconds the metrics for the topology graph are refreshed. More about metrics a little bit later.* **Pause 
 graph**: Stops the refresh interval timer. Once the 'Pause graph' button is clicked, the user must push 'Resume graph' for the graph to be updated, and then refreshed at the interval set in the 'Refresh interval' timer. It can be helpful to pause the graph if multiple oplets are occupying the same area on the graph, and their names become unreadable. Once the graph is paused, the user can drag an oplet off of another oplet to better view the name and see the edge(s) that connect them.* **Show tags**: If the checkbox appears in the top controls, it means:  - The 'View by' layer is capable of displaying stream tags  - The topology currently shown in the topology graph has stream tags associated with it* **Show all tags**: Selecting this checkbox shows all the tags present in the topology. If you want to see only certain tags, uncheck this box and select the button labeled 'Select individual tags ...'. A dialog will appear, and you can select one or all of the tags listed in the dialog
  which are present in the topology.    The next aspect of the console we'll look at are the popups available when selecting 'View all oplet properties', hovering over an oplet and hovering over an edge (link).The screen shot below shows the output from clicking on the 'View all oplet properties' link directly below the job selector:Looking at the sixth line in the table, where the Name is 'OP_5', we can see that the Oplet kind is a `Map`, a `quarks.oplet.functional.Map`, the Tuple count is 0 (this is because the view is in Static flow mode - the graph does not show the number of tuples flowing in it), the source oplet is 'OP_55', the target oplet is 'OP_60', and there are no stream tags coming from the source or target streams. Relationships for all oplets can be viewed in this manner.Now, looking at the graph, if we want to see the relationships for a single oplet, we can hover over it. The image below shows the hover when we are over 'OP_5'.You can also hover over the edges of the
  topology graph to get information. Hover over the edge (link) between 'OP_0' and 'OP_55'. The image shows the name and kind of the oplet as the source, and the name and kind of oplet as the target. Again the tuple count is 0 since this is the 'Static flow' view. The last item of information in the tooltip is the tags on the stream.One or many tags can be added to a stream. In this case we see the tags 'temperature' and 'well1'.The section of the code that adds the tags 'temperature' and 'well1' is in the `waterDetector` method of the `ConsoleWaterDetector` class.```javapublic static TStream waterDetector(Topology topology, int wellId) {    Random rNum = new Random();    TStream temp = topology.poll(() -> rNum.nextInt(TEMP_RANDOM_HIGH - TEMP_RANDOM_LOW) + TEMP_RANDOM_LOW, 1, TimeUnit.SECONDS);    TStream acidity = topology.poll(() -> rNum.nextInt(ACIDITY_RANDOM_HIGH - ACIDITY_RANDOM_LOW) + ACIDITY_RANDOM_LOW, 1, TimeUnit.SECONDS);    TStream ecoli = topology.poll(() -> rNum.nextInt(
 ECOLI_RANDOM_HIGH - ECOLI_RANDOM_LOW) + ECOLI_RANDOM_LOW, 1, TimeUnit.SECONDS);    TStream lead = topology.poll(() -> rNum.nextInt(LEAD_RANDOM_HIGH - LEAD_RANDOM_LOW) + LEAD_RANDOM_LOW, 1, TimeUnit.SECONDS);    TStream id = topology.poll(() -> wellId, 1, TimeUnit.SECONDS);    // add tags to each sensor    temp.tag(\"temperature\", \"well\" + wellId);```### LegendThe legend(s) that appear in the console depend on the view currently displayed. In the static flow mode, if no stream tags are present, there is no legend. In this example we have stream tags in the topology, so the static flow mode gives us the option to select 'Show tags'. If selected, the result is the addition of the stream tags legend:This legend shows all the tags that have been added to the topology, regardless of whether or not 'Show all tags' is checked or specific tags have been selected from the dialog that appears when the 'Select individual tags ...' button is clicked.### Topology graphNow that we've covered mo
 st of the ways to modify the view of the topology graph and discussed the application, let's look at the topology graph as a way to understand our application.When analyzing what is happening in your application, here are some ways you might use the console to help you understand it:* Topology of the application - how the edges and vertices of the graph are related* Tuple flow - tuple counts since the application was started* The affect of filters or maps on the downstream streams* Stream tags - if tags are added dynamically based on a condition, where the streams with tags are displayed in the topologyLet's start with the static flow view of the topology. We can look at the graph, and we can also hover over any of the oplets or streams to better understand the connections. Also, we can click 'View all oplet properties' and see the relationships in a tabular format.The other thing to notice in the static flow view are the tags. Look for any colored edges (the links between the oplet
 s). All of the left-most oplets have streams with tags. Most of them have the color that corresponds to 'Multiple tags'. If you hover over the edges, you can see the tags. It's obvious that we have tagged each sensor with the sensor type and the well id.Now, if you look to the far right, you can see more tags on streams coming out of a `split` oplet. They also have multiple tags, and hovering over them you can determine that they represent out of range values for each sensor type for the well. Notice how the `split` oplet, OP_43, has no tags in the streams coming out of it. If you follow that split oplet back, you can determine from the first tags that it is part of the well 2 stream.If you refer back to the `ConsoleWaterDetector` source, you can see that no tags were placed on the streams coming out of `well2`'s split because they contained no out of range values.Let's switch the view to Oplet kind now. It will make more clear which oplets are producing the streams with the tags on
  them. Below is an image of how the graph looks after switching to the Oplet kind view.In the Oplet kind view the links are all the same width, but the circles representing the oplets are sized according to tuple flow. Notice how the circles representing OP_10, OP_32 and OP_21 are large in relation to OP_80, OP_88 and OP_89. As a matter of fact, we can't even see the circle representing OP_89. Looking at OP_35 and then the Oplet kind legend, you can see by the color that it is a Filter oplet. This is because the filter that we used against `well2`, which is the stream that OP_35 is part of returned no tuples. This is a bit difficult to see. Let's look at the Tuple count view.The Tuple count view will make it more clear that no tuples are following out of OP_35, which represents the filter for `well2` and only returns out of range values. You may recall that in this example `well2` returned no out of range values. Below is the screen shot of the graph in 'Tuple count' view mode.The t
 opology graph oplets can sometimes sit on top of each other. If this is the case, pause the refresh and use your mouse to pull down on the oplets that are in the same position. This will allow you to see their name. Alternately, you can use the 'View all properties' table to see the relationships between oplets.### MetricsIf you scroll the browser window down, you can see a Metrics section. This section appears when the application contains the following:* A `DevelopmentProvider` is used; this automatically inserts counters on the streams of the topology* A `quarks.metrics.Metric.Counter` or `quarks.metrics.Metric.RateMeter` is added to an individual stream## CountersIn the `ConsoleWaterDetector` application we used a `DevelopmentProvider`. Therefore, counters were added to most streams (edges) with the following exceptions (from the [Javadoc](http://quarks-edge.github.io/quarks/docs/javadoc/quarks/metrics/Metrics.html#counter-quarks.topology.TStream-) for `quarks.metrics.Metrics`):
 *Oplets are only inserted upstream from a FanOut oplet.**If a chain of Peek oplets exists between oplets A and B, a Metric oplet is inserted after the last Peek, right upstream from oplet B.**If a chain of Peek oplets is followed by a FanOut, a metric oplet is inserted between the last Peek and the FanOut oplet.The implementation is not idempotent; previously inserted metric oplets are treated as regular graph vertices. Calling the method twice will insert a new set of metric oplets into the graph.*Also, the application inserts counters on `well2`'s streams after the streams from the individual sensors were unioned and then split:```javaList> individualAlerts2 = splitAlert(filteredReadings2, 2);TStream alert0Well2 = individualAlerts2.get(0);alert0Well2  = Metrics.counter(alert0Well2);alert0Well2.tag(\"well2\", \"temp\");TStream alert1Well2 = individualAlerts2.get(1);alert1Well2  = Metrics.counter(alert1Well2);alert1Well2.tag(\"well2\", \"acidity\");TStream alert2Well2 = individualAl
 erts2.get(2);alert2Well2  = Metrics.counter(alert2Well2);alert2Well2.tag(\"well2\", \"ecoli\");TStream alert3Well2 = individualAlerts2.get(3);alert3Well2  = Metrics.counter(alert3Well2);alert3Well2.tag(\"well2\", \"lead\");```When looking at the select next to the label 'Metrics', make sure the 'Count, oplets OP_37, OP_49 ...' is selected.  This select compares all of the counters in the topology visualized as a bar graph.  An image is shown below:Hover over individual bars to get the value of the number of tuples flowing through that oplet since the application was started. You can also see the oplet name. You can see that some of the oplets have zero tuples flowing through them.The bars that are the tallest and therefore have the highest tuple count are OP_76, OP_67 and OP_65.  If you look back up to the topology graph, in the Tuple count view, you can see that the edges (streams) surrounding these oplets have the color that corresponds to the highest tuple count (in the pictures 
 above that color is bright orange in the Tuple count legend).### Rate metersThe other type of metric we can look at are rate meter metrics. In the `ConsoleWaterDetector` application we added two rate meters here with the objective of comparing the rate of out of range readings between `well1` and `well3`:```List> individualAlerts1 = splitAlert(filteredReadings1, 1);// Put a rate meter on well1's temperature sensor outputMetrics.rateMeter(individualAlerts1.get(0));...List> individualAlerts3 = splitAlert(filteredReadings3, 3);// Put a rate meter on well3's temperature sensor outputMetrics.rateMeter(individualAlerts3.get(0));```Rate meters contain the following metrics for each stream they are added to:  * Tuple count  * The rate of change in the tuple count. The following rates are available for a single stream:    - 1 minute rate change    - 5 minute rate change    - 15 minute rate change    - Mean rate changeNow change the Metrics select to the 'MeanRate'. In our example these corre
 spond to oplets OP_37 and OP_49:Hovering over the slightly larger bar, the one to the right, the name is OP_49. Looking at the topology graph and changing the view to 'Static flow', follow the edges back from OP_49 until you can see an edge with a tag on it. You can see that OP_49's source is OP_51, whose source is OP_99.  The edge between OP_99 and it's source OP_48 has multiple tags. Hovering over this stream, the tags are 'TEMP out of range' and 'well3'.If a single rate meter is placed on a stream, in addition to plotting a bar chart, a line chart over the last 20 measures can be viewed. For example, if I comment out the addition of the rate meter for `well1` and then rerun the application, the Metrics section will look like the image below. I selected the 'OneMinuteRate' and 'Line chart' for Chart type:## SummaryThe intent of the information on this page is to help you understand the following:* How to add the console application to a Quarks application* How to run the `ConsoleW

+"body": "## Visualizing and monitoring your applicationThe Quarks application console is a web application that enables you to visualize your application topology and monitor the tuples flowing through your application. The kind of oplets used in the topology, as well as the stream tags included in the topology, are also visible in the console.## Adding the console web app to your applicationTo use the console, you must use the Quarks classes that provide the service to access the console web application or directly call the `HttpServer` class itself, start the server and then obtain the console URL.The easiest way to include the console in your application is to use the the `DevelopmentProvider` class. `DevelopmentProvider` is a subclass of `DirectProvider` and adds services such as access to the console web application and counter oplets used to determine tuple counts. You can get the URL for the console from the `DevelopmentProvider` using the `getService` method as shown in a hy
 pothetical application shown below:```javaimport java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;import quarks.console.server.HttpServer;import quarks.providers.development.DevelopmentProvider;import quarks.topology.TStream;import quarks.topology.Topology;public class TempSensorApplication {    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {        TempSensor sensor = new TempSensor();        DevelopmentProvider dp = new DevelopmentProvider();        Topology topology = dp.newTopology();        TStream tempReadings = topology.poll(sensor, 1, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);        TStream filteredReadings = tempReadings.filter(reading -> reading  80);        filteredReadings.print();        System.out.println(dp.getServices().getService(HttpServer.class).getConsoleUrl());        dp.submit(topology);    }}```Note that the console URL is being printed to `System.out`. The `filteredReadings` are as well, since `filteredReadings.print()` is being called in the application. You may need to scroll your te
 rminal window up to see the output for the console URL.Optionally, you can modify the above code in the application to have a timeout before submitting the topology, which would allow you to see the console URL before any other output is shown. The modification would look like this:```java// Print the console URL and wait for 10 seconds before submitting the topologySystem.out.println(dp.getServices().getService(HttpServer.class).getConsoleUrl());try {    TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(10);} catch (InterruptedException e) {    // Do nothing}dp.submit(topology);```The other way to embed the console in your application is shown in the `HttpServerSample.java` example (on [GitHub](https://github.com/apache/incubator-quarks/blob/master/samples/console/src/main/java/quarks/samples/console/HttpServerSample.java)). It gets the `HttpServer` instance, starts it, and prints out the console URL. Note that it does not submit a job, so when the console is displayed in the browser, there are no running jo
 bs and therefore no topology graph. The example is meant to show how to get the `HttpServer` instance, start the console web app and get the URL of the console.## Accessing the consoleThe console URL has the following format:`http://host_name:port_number/console`Once it is obtained from `System.out`, enter it in a browser window.If you cannot access the console at this URL, ensure there is a `console.war` file in the `webapps` directory. If the `console.war` file cannot be found, an exception will be thrown (in `std.out`) indicating `console.war` was not found.## ConsoleWaterDetector sampleTo see the features of the console in action and as a way to demonstrate how to monitor a topology in the console, let's look at the `ConsoleWaterDetector` sample (on [GitHub](https://github.com/apache/incubator-quarks/blob/master/samples/console/src/main/java/quarks/samples/console/ConsoleWaterDetector.java)).Prior to running any console applications, the `console.war` file must be built as menti
 oned above. If you are building quarks from a Git repository, go to the top level Quarks directory and run `ant`.Here is an example in my environment:```Susans-MacBook-Pro-247:quarks susancline$ pwd/Users/susancline/git/quarksSusans-MacBook-Pro-247:quarks susancline$ antBuildfile: /Users/susancline/git/quarks/build.xmlsetcommitversion:init:suball:init:project.component:compile:...[javadoc] Constructing Javadoc information...[javadoc] Standard Doclet version 1.8.0_71[javadoc] Building tree for all the packages and classes...[javadoc] Generating /Users/susancline/git/quarks/target/docs/javadoc/quarks/analytics/sensors/package-summary.html...[javadoc] Copying file /Users/susancline/git/quarks/analytics/sensors/src/main/java/quarks/analytics/sensors/doc-files/deadband.png to directory /Users/susancline/git/quarks/target/docs/javadoc/quarks/analytics/sensors/doc-files...[javadoc] Generating /Users/susancline/git/quarks/target/docs/javadoc/quarks/topology/package-summary.html...[javadoc]

You may have to scroll ba
 ck up to get the URL of the console:```Susans-MacBook-Pro-247:quarks susancline$ java -cp target/java8/samples/lib/quarks.samples.console.jar:. quarks.samples.console.ConsoleWaterDetectorMar 07, 2016 12:04:52 PM org.eclipse.jetty.util.log.Log initializedINFO: Logging initialized @176msMar 07, 2016 12:04:53 PM org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server doStartINFO: jetty-9.3.6.v20151106Mar 07, 2016 12:04:53 PM org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ContextHandler doStartINFO: Started o.e.j.s.ServletContextHandler@614c5515{/jobs,null,AVAILABLE}Mar 07, 2016 12:04:53 PM org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ContextHandler doStartINFO: Started o.e.j.s.ServletContextHandler@77b52d12{/metrics,null,AVAILABLE}Mar 07, 2016 12:04:53 PM org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.StandardDescriptorProcessor visitServletINFO: NO JSP Support for /console, did not find org.eclipse.jetty.jsp.JettyJspServletMar 07, 2016 12:04:53 PM org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ContextHandler doStartINFO: Started o.e.j.w.WebAppContext@2d554825{/console,

In this case, the URL is `http://localhost:57964/console`.Below is a screen shot of what you should see if everything is working properly:## ConsoleWaterDetector application scenarioThe application is now running in your browser. Let's discuss the scenario for the application.A county agency is responsible for ensuring the safety of resi
 dents well water. Each well they monitor has four different sensor types:* Temperature* Acidity* Ecoli* LeadThe sample application topology monitors 3 wells:* For the hypothetical scenario, Well1 and Well3 produce 'unhealthy' values from their sensors on occasion. Well2 always produces 'healthy' values.* Each well that is to be measured is added to the topology. The topology polls each sensor (temp, ecoli, etc.) for each well as a unit. A `TStream` is returned from polling the toplogy and represents a sensor reading. Each sensor reading for the well has a tag added to it with the reading type i.e, \"temp\", and the well id. Once all of the sensor readings are obtained and the tags added, each sensor reading is 'unioned' into a single `TStream`. Look at the `waterDetector` method for details on this.* Now, each well has a single stream with each of the sensors readings as a property with a name and value in the `TStream`. Next the `alertFilter` method is called on the `TStream` repre
 senting each well. This method checks the values for each well's sensors to determine if they are 'out of range' for healthy values. The `filter` oplet is used to do this. If any of the sensor's readings are out of the acceptable range the tuple is passed along. Those that are within an acceptable range are discarded.* Next the applications' `splitAlert` method is called on each well's stream that contains the union of all the sensor readings that are out of range. The `splitAlert` method uses the `split` oplet to split the incoming stream into 5 different streams. Only those tuples that are out of range for each stream, which represents each sensor type, will be returned. The object returned from `splitAlert` is a list of `TStream` objects. The `splitAlert` method is shown below:    ```java    public static List> splitAlert(TStream alertStream, int wellId) {        List> allStreams = alertStream.split(5, tuple -> {            if (tuple.get(\"temp\") != null) {                JsonOb
 ject tempObj = new JsonObject();                int temp = tuple.get(\"temp\").getAsInt();                if (temp = TEMP_ALERT_MAX) {                    tempObj.addProperty(\"temp\", temp);                    return 0;                } else {                    return -1;                }            } else if (tuple.get(\"acidity\") != null){                JsonObject acidObj = new JsonObject();                int acid = tuple.get(\"acidity\").getAsInt();                if (acid = ACIDITY_ALERT_MAX) {                    acidObj.addProperty(\"acidity\", acid);                    return 1;                } else {                    return -1;                }            } else if (tuple.get(\"ecoli\") != null) {                JsonObject ecoliObj = new JsonObject();                int ecoli = tuple.get(\"ecoli\").getAsInt();                if (ecoli >= ECOLI_ALERT) {                    ecoliObj.addProperty(\"ecoli\", ecoli);                    return 2;                } else {       
              return -1;                }            } else if (tuple.get(\"lead\") != null) {                JsonObject leadObj = new JsonObject();                int lead = tuple.get(\"lead\").getAsInt();                if (lead >= LEAD_ALERT_MAX) {                    leadObj.addProperty(\"lead\", lead);                    return 3;                } else {                    return -1;                }            } else {                 return -1;            }        });        return allStreams;    }    ```* Next we want to get the temperature stream from the first well and put a rate meter on it to determine the rate at which the out of range values are flowing in the stream    ```java    List> individualAlerts1 = splitAlert(filteredReadings1, 1);    // Put a rate meter on well1's temperature sensor output    Metrics.rateMeter(individualAlerts1.get(0));    ```* Next all the sensors for well 1 have tags added to the stream indicating the stream is out of range for that sensor and
  the well id. Next a sink is added, passing the tuple to a `Consumer` that formats a string to `System.out` containing the well id, alert type (sensor type) and value of the sensor.    ```java    // Put a rate meter on well1's temperature sensor output    Metrics.rateMeter(individualAlerts1.get(0));    individualAlerts1.get(0).tag(TEMP_ALERT_TAG, \"well1\").sink(tuple -> System.out.println(\"\\n\" + formatAlertOutput(tuple, \"1\", \"temp\")));    individualAlerts1.get(1).tag(ACIDITY_ALERT_TAG, \"well1\").sink(tuple -> System.out.println(formatAlertOutput(tuple, \"1\", \"acidity\")));    individualAlerts1.get(2).tag(ECOLI_ALERT_TAG, \"well1\").sink(tuple -> System.out.println(formatAlertOutput(tuple, \"1\", \"ecoli\")));    individualAlerts1.get(3).tag(LEAD_ALERT_TAG, \"well1\").sink(tuple -> System.out.println(formatAlertOutput(tuple, \"1\", \"lead\")));    ```Output in the terminal window from the `formatAlertOutput` method will look like this:```Well1 alert, temp value is 86Well3 
 alert, ecoli value is 2Well1 alert, ecoli value is 1Well3 alert, acidity value is 1Well1 alert, lead value is 12Well1 alert, ecoli value is 2Well3 alert, lead value is 10Well3 alert, acidity value is 10```Notice how only those streams that are out of range for the temperature sensor type show output.## Detecting zero tuple countsAt the end of the `ConsoleWaterDetector` application is this snippet of code, added after the topology has been submitted:```javadp.submit(wellTopology);while (true) {    MetricRegistry metricRegistry = dp.getServices().getService(MetricRegistry.class);    SortedMap counters = metricRegistry.getCounters();    Set> values = counters.entrySet();    for (Entry e : values) {        if (e.getValue().getCount() == 0) {            System.out.println(\"Counter Op:\" + e.getKey() + \" tuple count: \" + e.getValue().getCount());        }    }    Thread.sleep(2000);}```What this does is get all the counters in the `MetricRegistry` class and print out the name of the co
 unter oplet they are monitoring along with the tuple count if it is zero. Here is some sample output:```Counter Op:TupleCounter.quarks.oplet.JOB_0.OP_44 has a tuple count of zero!Counter Op:TupleCounter.quarks.oplet.JOB_0.OP_45 has a tuple count of zero!Counter Op:TupleCounter.quarks.oplet.JOB_0.OP_46 has a tuple count of zero!Counter Op:TupleCounter.quarks.oplet.JOB_0.OP_47 has a tuple count of zero!Counter Op:TupleCounter.quarks.oplet.JOB_0.OP_89 has a tuple count of zero!Counter Op:TupleCounter.quarks.oplet.JOB_0.OP_95 has a tuple count of zero!Counter Op:TupleCounter.quarks.oplet.JOB_0.OP_96 has a tuple count of zero!Counter Op:TupleCounter.quarks.oplet.JOB_0.OP_97 has a tuple count of zero!Counter Op:TupleCounter.quarks.oplet.JOB_0.OP_98 has a tuple count of zero!```To summarize what the application is doing:* Unions all sensor type readings for a single well* Filters all sensor type readings for a single well, passing on an object that only contains tuples for the object that 
 have at least one sensor type with out of range values* Splits the object that contained name/value pairs for sensor type and readings into individual sensor types returning only those streams that contain out of range values* Outputs to the command line the well id, sensor type and value that is out of range* Tags are added at various points in the topology for easier identification of either the well or some out of range condition* The topology contains counters to measure tuple counts since `DevelopmentProvider` was used* Individual rate meters were placed on `well1` and `well3`'s temperature sensors to determine the rate of 'unhealthy' values* Prints out the name of the counter oplets whose tuple counts are zero## Topology graph controlsNow that you have an understanding of what the application is doing, let's look at some of the controls in the console, so we can learn how to monitor the application. Below is a screen shot of the top controls: the controls that affect the Topol
 ogy Graph.* **Job**: A drop down to select which job is being displayed in the Topology Graph. An application can contain multiple jobs.* **State**: Hovering over the 'State' icon shows information about the selected job. The current and next states of the job, the job id and the job name.* **View by**: This select is used to change how the topology graph is displayed. The three options for this select are:  - Static flow  - Tuple count  - Oplet kind  - Currently it is set to 'Static flow'. This means the oplets (represented as circles in the topology graph) do not change size, nor do the lines or links (representing the edges of the topology graph) change width or position. The graph is not being refreshed when it is in 'Static flow' mode.* **Refresh interval**: Allows the user to select an interval between 3 - 20 seconds to refresh the tuple count values in the graph. Every X seconds the metrics for the topology graph are refreshed. More about metrics a little bit later.* **Pause 
 graph**: Stops the refresh interval timer. Once the 'Pause graph' button is clicked, the user must push 'Resume graph' for the graph to be updated, and then refreshed at the interval set in the 'Refresh interval' timer. It can be helpful to pause the graph if multiple oplets are occupying the same area on the graph, and their names become unreadable. Once the graph is paused, the user can drag an oplet off of another oplet to better view the name and see the edge(s) that connect them.* **Show tags**: If the checkbox appears in the top controls, it means:  - The 'View by' layer is capable of displaying stream tags  - The topology currently shown in the topology graph has stream tags associated with it* **Show all tags**: Selecting this checkbox shows all the tags present in the topology. If you want to see only certain tags, uncheck this box and select the button labeled 'Select individual tags ...'. A dialog will appear, and you can select one or all of the tags listed in the dialog
  which are present in the topology.    The next aspect of the console we'll look at are the popups available when selecting 'View all oplet properties', hovering over an oplet and hovering over an edge (link).The screen shot below shows the output from clicking on the 'View all oplet properties' link directly below the job selector:Looking at the sixth line in the table, where the Name is 'OP_5', we can see that the Oplet kind is a `Map`, a `quarks.oplet.functional.Map`, the Tuple count is 0 (this is because the view is in Static flow mode - the graph does not show the number of tuples flowing in it), the source oplet is 'OP_55', the target oplet is 'OP_60', and there are no stream tags coming from the source or target streams. Relationships for all oplets can be viewed in this manner.Now, looking at the graph, if we want to see the relationships for a single oplet, we can hover over it. The image below shows the hover when we are over 'OP_5'.You can also hover over the edges of the
  topology graph to get information. Hover over the edge (link) between 'OP_0' and 'OP_55'. The image shows the name and kind of the oplet as the source, and the name and kind of oplet as the target. Again the tuple count is 0 since this is the 'Static flow' view. The last item of information in the tooltip is the tags on the stream.One or many tags can be added to a stream. In this case we see the tags 'temperature' and 'well1'.The section of the code that adds the tags 'temperature' and 'well1' is in the `waterDetector` method of the `ConsoleWaterDetector` class.```javapublic static TStream waterDetector(Topology topology, int wellId) {    Random rNum = new Random();    TStream temp = topology.poll(() -> rNum.nextInt(TEMP_RANDOM_HIGH - TEMP_RANDOM_LOW) + TEMP_RANDOM_LOW, 1, TimeUnit.SECONDS);    TStream acidity = topology.poll(() -> rNum.nextInt(ACIDITY_RANDOM_HIGH - ACIDITY_RANDOM_LOW) + ACIDITY_RANDOM_LOW, 1, TimeUnit.SECONDS);    TStream ecoli = topology.poll(() -> rNum.nextInt(
 ECOLI_RANDOM_HIGH - ECOLI_RANDOM_LOW) + ECOLI_RANDOM_LOW, 1, TimeUnit.SECONDS);    TStream lead = topology.poll(() -> rNum.nextInt(LEAD_RANDOM_HIGH - LEAD_RANDOM_LOW) + LEAD_RANDOM_LOW, 1, TimeUnit.SECONDS);    TStream id = topology.poll(() -> wellId, 1, TimeUnit.SECONDS);    // add tags to each sensor    temp.tag(\"temperature\", \"well\" + wellId);```### LegendThe legend(s) that appear in the console depend on the view currently displayed. In the static flow mode, if no stream tags are present, there is no legend. In this example we have stream tags in the topology, so the static flow mode gives us the option to select 'Show tags'. If selected, the result is the addition of the stream tags legend:This legend shows all the tags that have been added to the topology, regardless of whether or not 'Show all tags' is checked or specific tags have been selected from the dialog that appears when the 'Select individual tags ...' button is clicked.### Topology graphNow that we've covered mo
 st of the ways to modify the view of the topology graph and discussed the application, let's look at the topology graph as a way to understand our application.When analyzing what is happening in your application, here are some ways you might use the console to help you understand it:* Topology of the application - how the edges and vertices of the graph are related* Tuple flow - tuple counts since the application was started* The affect of filters or maps on the downstream streams* Stream tags - if tags are added dynamically based on a condition, where the streams with tags are displayed in the topologyLet's start with the static flow view of the topology. We can look at the graph, and we can also hover over any of the oplets or streams to better understand the connections. Also, we can click 'View all oplet properties' and see the relationships in a tabular format.The other thing to notice in the static flow view are the tags. Look for any colored edges (the links between the oplet
 s). All of the left-most oplets have streams with tags. Most of them have the color that corresponds to 'Multiple tags'. If you hover over the edges, you can see the tags. It's obvious that we have tagged each sensor with the sensor type and the well id.Now, if you look to the far right, you can see more tags on streams coming out of a `split` oplet. They also have multiple tags, and hovering over them you can determine that they represent out of range values for each sensor type for the well. Notice how the `split` oplet, OP_43, has no tags in the streams coming out of it. If you follow that split oplet back, you can determine from the first tags that it is part of the well 2 stream.If you refer back to the `ConsoleWaterDetector` source, you can see that no tags were placed on the streams coming out of `well2`'s split because they contained no out of range values.Let's switch the view to Oplet kind now. It will make more clear which oplets are producing the streams with the tags on
  them. Below is an image of how the graph looks after switching to the Oplet kind view.In the Oplet kind view the links are all the same width, but the circles representing the oplets are sized according to tuple flow. Notice how the circles representing OP_10, OP_32 and OP_21 are large in relation to OP_80, OP_88 and OP_89. As a matter of fact, we can't even see the circle representing OP_89. Looking at OP_35 and then the Oplet kind legend, you can see by the color that it is a Filter oplet. This is because the filter that we used against `well2`, which is the stream that OP_35 is part of returned no tuples. This is a bit difficult to see. Let's look at the Tuple count view.The Tuple count view will make it more clear that no tuples are following out of OP_35, which represents the filter for `well2` and only returns out of range values. You may recall that in this example `well2` returned no out of range values. Below is the screen shot of the graph in 'Tuple count' view mode.The t
 opology graph oplets can sometimes sit on top of each other. If this is the case, pause the refresh and use your mouse to pull down on the oplets that are in the same position. This will allow you to see their name. Alternately, you can use the 'View all properties' table to see the relationships between oplets.### MetricsIf you scroll the browser window down, you can see a Metrics section. This section appears when the application contains the following:* A `DevelopmentProvider` is used; this automatically inserts counters on the streams of the topology* A `quarks.metrics.Metric.Counter` or `quarks.metrics.Metric.RateMeter` is added to an individual stream## CountersIn the `ConsoleWaterDetector` application we used a `DevelopmentProvider`. Therefore, counters were added to most streams (edges) with the following exceptions (from the [Javadoc]({{ site.docsurl }}/lastest/quarks/metrics/Metrics.html#counter-quarks.topology.TStream-) for `quarks.metrics.Metrics`):*Oplets are only inser
 ted upstream from a FanOut oplet.**If a chain of Peek oplets exists between oplets A and B, a Metric oplet is inserted after the last Peek, right upstream from oplet B.**If a chain of Peek oplets is followed by a FanOut, a metric oplet is inserted between the last Peek and the FanOut oplet.The implementation is not idempotent; previously inserted metric oplets are treated as regular graph vertices. Calling the method twice will insert a new set of metric oplets into the graph.*Also, the application inserts counters on `well2`'s streams after the streams from the individual sensors were unioned and then split:```javaList> individualAlerts2 = splitAlert(filteredReadings2, 2);TStream alert0Well2 = individualAlerts2.get(0);alert0Well2  = Metrics.counter(alert0Well2);alert0Well2.tag(\"well2\", \"temp\");TStream alert1Well2 = individualAlerts2.get(1);alert1Well2  = Metrics.counter(alert1Well2);alert1Well2.tag(\"well2\", \"acidity\");TStream alert2Well2 = individualAlerts2.get(2);alert2Wel
 l2  = Metrics.counter(alert2Well2);alert2Well2.tag(\"well2\", \"ecoli\");TStream alert3Well2 = individualAlerts2.get(3);alert3Well2  = Metrics.counter(alert3Well2);alert3Well2.tag(\"well2\", \"lead\");```When looking at the select next to the label 'Metrics', make sure the 'Count, oplets OP_37, OP_49 ...' is selected.  This select compares all of the counters in the topology visualized as a bar graph.  An image is shown below:Hover over individual bars to get the value of the number of tuples flowing through that oplet since the application was started. You can also see the oplet name. You can see that some of the oplets have zero tuples flowing through them.The bars that are the tallest and therefore have the highest tuple count are OP_76, OP_67 and OP_65.  If you look back up to the topology graph, in the Tuple count view, you can see that the edges (streams) surrounding these oplets have the color that corresponds to the highest tuple count (in the pictures above that color is br
 ight orange in the Tuple count legend).### Rate metersThe other type of metric we can look at are rate meter metrics. In the `ConsoleWaterDetector` application we added two rate meters here with the objective of comparing the rate of out of range readings between `well1` and `well3`:```List> individualAlerts1 = splitAlert(filteredReadings1, 1);// Put a rate meter on well1's temperature sensor outputMetrics.rateMeter(individualAlerts1.get(0));...List> individualAlerts3 = splitAlert(filteredReadings3, 3);// Put a rate meter on well3's temperature sensor outputMetrics.rateMeter(individualAlerts3.get(0));```Rate meters contain the following metrics for each stream they are added to:  * Tuple count  * The rate of change in the tuple count. The following rates are available for a single stream:    - 1 minute rate change    - 5 minute rate change    - 15 minute rate change    - Mean rate changeNow change the Metrics select to the 'MeanRate'. In our example these correspond to oplets OP_37 
 and OP_49:Hovering over the slightly larger bar, the one to the right, the name is OP_49. Looking at the topology graph and changing the view to 'Static flow', follow the edges back from OP_49 until you can see an edge with a tag on it. You can see that OP_49's source is OP_51, whose source is OP_99.  The edge between OP_99 and it's source OP_48 has multiple tags. Hovering over this stream, the tags are 'TEMP out of range' and 'well3'.If a single rate meter is placed on a stream, in addition to plotting a bar chart, a line chart over the last 20 measures can be viewed. For example, if I comment out the addition of the rate meter for `well1` and then rerun the application, the Metrics section will look like the image below. I selected the 'OneMinuteRate' and 'Line chart' for Chart type:## SummaryThe intent of the information on this page is to help you understand the following:* How to add the console application to a Quarks application* How to run the `ConsoleWaterDetector` sample*

When you analyze on the edge, you can:* Reduce the amount of data that you transmit to your analytics server* Reduce the amount of data that you storeFor more information, see the [Quarks overview](home).### Apache Quarks and streaming analyticsThe fundamental building block of a Quarks application is a **stream**: a continuous sequence of tuples (messages, events, sensor readings, and so on).The Quarks API provides the ability to process or analyze each tuple as it appears on a stream, resulting in a derived stream.Source streams are streams that originate data for analysis, such as readings from a device's temperature sensor.Streams are terminated using sink functions that can perform local device control or send information to centralized analytic systems through a message hub.Quarks' primary API is functional w
 here streams are sourced, transformed, analyzed or sinked though functions, typically represented as lambda expressions, such as `reading -> reading  80` to filter temperature readings in Fahrenheit.### Downloading Apache QuarksTo use Quarks, access the source code and build it. You can read more about building Quarks [here](https://github.com/apache/incubator-quarks/blob/master/DEVELOPMENT.md).After you build the Quarks package, you can set up your environment.### Setting up your environmentEnsure that you are running a supported environment. For more information, see the [Quarks overview](home). This guide assumes you're running Java 8.The Quarks Java 8 JAR files are located in the `quarks/java8/lib` directory.1. Create a new Java project in Eclipse, and specify Java 8 as the execution environment JRE:    2. Modify the Java build path to include all of the JAR files in the `quarks\\java8\\lib` directory:    Your environment is set up! You can start writing your first Quarks applic
 ation.## Creating a simple applicationIf you're new to Quarks or to writing streaming applications, the best way to get started is to write a simple program.Quarks is a framework that pushes data analytics and machine learning to *edge devices*. (Edge devices include things like routers, gateways, machines, equipment, sensors, appliances, or vehicles that are connected to a network.) Quarks enables you to process data locally—such as, in a car engine, on an Android phone, or Raspberry Pi—before you send data over a network.For example, if your device takes temperature readings from a sensor 1,000 times per second, it is more efficient to process the data locally and send only interesting or unexpected results over the network. To simulate this, let's define a (simulated) TempSensor class:```javaimport java.util.Random;import quarks.function.Supplier;/** * Every time get() is called, TempSensor generates a temperature reading. */public class TempSensor implements Supplier
  {    double currentTemp = 65.0;    Random rand;    TempSensor(){        rand = new Random();    }    @Override    public Double get() {        // Change the current temperature some random amount        double newTemp = rand.nextGaussian() + currentTemp;        currentTemp = newTemp;        return currentTemp;    }}```Every time you call `TempSensor.get()`, it returns a new temperature reading. The continuous temperature readings are a stream of data that a Quarks application can process.Our sample Quarks application processes this stream by filtering the data and printing the results. Let's define a TempSensorApplication class for the application:```javaimport java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;import quarks.providers.direct.DirectProvider;import quarks.topology.TStream;import quarks.topology.Topology;public class TempSensorApplication {    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {        TempSensor sensor = new TempSensor();        DirectProvider dp = new DirectProvide
 r();        Topology topology = dp.newTopology();        TStream tempReadings = topology.poll(sensor, 1, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);        TStream filteredReadings = tempReadings.filter(reading -> reading  80);        filteredReadings.print();        dp.submit(topology);    }}```To understand how the application processes the stream, let's review each line.### Specifying a providerYour first step when you write a Quarks application is to create a [`DirectProvider`](http://quarks-edge.github.io/quarks/docs/javadoc/index.html?quarks/providers/direct/DirectProvider.html):```javaDirectProvider dp = new DirectProvider();```A `Provider` is an object that contains information on how and where your Quarks application will run. A `DirectProvider` is a type of Provider that runs your application directly within the current virtual machine when its `submit()` method is called.### Creating a topologyAdditionally a Provider is used to create a [`Topology`](http://quarks-edge.github.io/quarks/docs/j
 avadoc/index.html?quarks/topology/Topology.html) instance:```javaTopology topology = dp.newTopology();```In Quarks, `Topology` is a container that describes the structure of your application:* Where the streams in the application come from* How the data in the stream is modifiedIn the TempSensor application above, we have exactly one data source: the `TempSensor` object. We define the source stream by calling `topology.poll()`, which takes both a `Supplier` function and a time parameter to indicate how frequently readings should be taken. In our case, we read from the sensor every millisecond:```javaTStream tempReadings = topology.poll(sensor, 1, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);```### Defining the `TStream` objectCalling `topology.poll()` to define a source stream creates a `TStream` instance, which represents the series of readings taken from the temperature sensor.A streaming application can run indefinitely, so the `TStream` might see an arbitrarily large number of readings pass through i
 t. Because a `TStream` represents the flow of your data, it supports a number of operations which allow you to modify your data.### Filtering a `TStream`In our example, we want to filter the stream of temperature readings, and remove any \"uninteresting\" or expected readings—specifically readings which are above 50 degrees and below 80 degrees. To do this, we call the `TStream`'s `filter` method and pass in a function that returns *true* if the data is interesting and *false* if the data is uninteresting:```javaTStream filteredReadings = tempReadings.filter(reading -> reading  80);```As you can see, the function that is passed to `filter` operates on each tuple individually. Unlike data streaming frameworks like [Apache Spark](https://spark.apache.org/), which operate on a collection of data in batch mode, Quarks achieves low latency processing by manipulating each piece of data as soon as it becomes available. Filtering a `TStream` produces another `TStream` that contains on
 ly the filtered tuples; for example, the `filteredReadings` stream.### Printing to outputWhen our application detects interesting data (data outside of the expected parameters), we want to print results. You can do this by calling the `TStream.print()` method, which prints using  `.toString()` on each tuple that passes through the stream:```javafilteredReadings.print();```Unlike `TStream.filter()`, `TStream.print()` does not produce another `TStream`. This is because `TStream.print()` is a **sink**, which represents the terminus of a stream.In addition to `TStream.print()` there are other sink operations that send tuples to an MQTT server, JDBC connection, file, or Kafka cluster. Additionally, you can define your own sink by invoking `TStream.sink()` and passing in your own function.### Submitting your applicationNow that your application has been completely declared, the final step is to run your application.`DirectProvider` contains a `submit()` method, which runs your application
  directly within the current virtual machine:```javadp.submit(topology);```After you run your program, you should see output containing only \"interesting\" data coming from your sensor:```49.90403231177259647.9783750403908446.5927233630903146.68154455165293447.400819234155236...```As you can see, all temperatures are outside the 50-80 degree range. In terms of a real-world application, this would prevent a device from sending superfluous data over a network, thereby reducing communication costs.## Further examplesThis example demonstrates a small piece of Quarks' functionality. Quarks supports more complicated topologies, such as topologies that require merging and splitting data streams, or perform operations which aggregate the last *N* seconds of data (for example, calculating a moving average).For more complex examples, see:* [Quarks sample programs](samples)* [Common Quarks operations](common-quarks-operations)"

 "summary": "",
-"body": "The [Detecting a sensor value out of range](recipe_value_out_of_range.html) recipe introduced the basics of filtering as well as the use of a [Range](http://quarks-edge.github.io/quarks/docs/javadoc/quarks/analytics/sensors/Range.html).Oftentimes, a user wants a filter's behavior to be adaptable rather than static. A filter's range can be made changeable via commands from some external source or just changed as a result of some other local analytics.A Quarks `IotProvider` and `IoTDevice` with its command streams would be a natural way to control the application. In this recipe we will just simulate a \"set optimal temp range\" command stream.The string form of a `Range` is natural, consise, and easy to use. As such it's a convenient form to use as external range format. The range string can easily be converted back into a `Range`.We're going to assume familiarity with that earlier recipe and those concepts and focus on just the \"adaptable range specification\" aspect of th
 is recipe.## Define the rangeA `java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicReference` is used to provide the necessary thread synchronization.```javastatic Range DEFAULT_TEMP_RANGE = Ranges.valueOfDouble(\"[77.0..91.0]\");static AtomicReference> optimalTempRangeRef =        new AtomicReference(DEFAULT_TEMP_RANGE);```## Define a method to change the range```javastatic void setOptimalTempRange(Range range) {    System.out.println(\"Using optimal temperature range: \" + range);    optimalTempRangeRef.set(range);}```The filter just uses `optimalTempRangeRef.get()` to use the current range setting.## Simulate a command streamA `TStream> setRangeCmds` stream is created and a new range specification tuple is generated every 10 seconds.  A `sink()` on the stream calls `setOptimalTempRange()` to change the range and hence the filter's bahavior.```java// Simulate a command stream to change the optimal range.// Such a stream might be from an IotDevice command.String[] ranges = new String[] {    \"[70.0

+"body": "The [Detecting a sensor value out of range](recipe_value_out_of_range.html) recipe introduced the basics of filtering as well as the use of a [Range]({{ site.docsurl }}/lastest//lastest/quarks/analytics/sensors/Range.html).Oftentimes, a user wants a filter's behavior to be adaptable rather than static. A filter's range can be made changeable via commands from some external source or just changed as a result of some other local analytics.A Quarks `IotProvider` and `IoTDevice` with its command streams would be a natural way to control the application. In this recipe we will just simulate a \"set optimal temp r
