What Is Analysis Modelling?
The Analysis Engine is the main back-end process in PhixFlow that performs all stream calculations, data collections, raises alarms and builds charts and dashboards. The Analysis Engine starts whenever the generation of a stream or alarms is requested. This can be triggered in three ways:
- An ad-hoc request from the stream navigator or alarm generator navigator, by right-clicking on the stream or alarm generator and selecting Run Analysis.
- An ad-hoc request from a model pane, by pressing the button Run Analysis from the hover menu of a stream or alarm generator.
- By a task plan.
When the Analysis Engine starts, messages are displayed in the System Console. You can bring the system console up at any time by pressing the Admin button and selecting System Console. The Analysis Engine calculation relies on many aspects of configuration in PhixFlow, in particular:
| Datasources |
| Database Collectors |
| File Collectors |
| Streams |
| Alarms Generators |
| Database Exporters |
