How to simply test streamInsight installed succesfully?

Question

Hello guys.

I just installed streamInsight 2.1 server in my local machine. And I kicked off the SI windows service running. Now how can I use client to verify this is working? Any endpoint or simple approach I can check? my instance name is "SI21"

I use "Event flow debugger" to connect to "http://localhost/StreamInsight/SI21". It error out "access denied". Any one has good suggestions?

Answer 1

Derek,

Have you created a StreamInsight application and exposed the management service? You must have a StreamInsight application running that exposes an instance of the management service. You'll also need to make sure your application has the proper permissions to expose a WCF endpoint. The quick and dirty way to get this working is to run as administrator.

// create instance of the StreamInsight server
using (Server server = Server.Create("SI21"))
{
    // create instance of the management service
    var host = new ServiceHost(server.CreateManagementService());
    host.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof (IManagementService),
                            new WSHttpBinding(SecurityMode.Message),
                            "http://localhost/StreamInsight/SI21");

    // open management service
    host.Open();

    // create StreamInsight application
    Application application = server.CreateApplication("MyApplication");

    // define a point streamable source
    IQStreamable<long> source = application.DefineObservable(() => Observable.Interval(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1)))
                                            .ToPointStreamable(e => PointEvent.CreateInsert(DateTimeOffset.UtcNow, e),
                                                                AdvanceTimeSettings.IncreasingStartTime);

    // define an observer sink
    IRemoteObserver<long> sink = application.DefineObserver(() => Observer.Create<long>(e => Console.WriteLine("OnNext - " + e),
                                                                                        ex => Console.WriteLine("Error - " + ex.Message),
                                                                                        () => Console.WriteLine("OnCompleted")));

    // bind the source to the sink and run the process.
    source.Bind(sink).Run("MyProcess");

    // wait for the user to press any key to shutdown
    Console.ReadLine();

    // delete the application
    application.Delete();

    // close the management service host
    host.Close();
}

Thanks, I will try this. if this is the only way to try, I would be curious why there is not an easy to verify this. Once DBA installed this, I have to provide a compiled "program" to test this out.

Also, because you are added to a group with access to the StreamInsight management service, you do need to reboot before trying to connect to the management service. This is a Windows Thing(tm) ... that's how you'll get the token associated with your SID.
