How to publish a single event at a time (nit stream based) to streaminsight ....Please help.

Question

I have a small problem.

I have an existing REST service and we want to see if we can send all requests that we get to a Streaminsight Server.

I have been googling around and found all sorts of samples but they are all about streams.

My Rest Service receives a class with some properties (datacontract) and i want to send that exact class to streaminsight.

So i have something like this.....

[WebInvoke(UriTemplate = "", Method = "PUT")]
public void SomeMethod(SomeDataContract someInstane)
{

// Now i need to send the data to streaminsight here
// I only see stream based implementations but i need to send 
// an event at at ime How do i do this Please Help

}

Answer 1

You have to send it into StreamInsight via some sort of input adapter so that it gets enqueued as a stream. You can actually host a service in StreamInsight and implement your input adapter as the service or you could create a different service/tcp/udp/whatever endpoint that then enqueues the item into the StreamInsight engine.

Answer 3

Take a look at the WCF Input Adapter included in the StreamInsight Product Team Samples. It's straight WCF, not REST, but the concept is the same.
