Web Collector

Scenario

Data is not always stored in a database or on file. Sometimes, it is only available via a call to a webservice, or a query to some web or application server. CenterView needs to be able to get at this data.

Choose a simple online datasource, and set CenterView up to retrieve data from that source.

Solution:

• Setup and configure an HTTP datasource
• Setup and configure an HTTP collector - Note : setting the correct response type and configuring the connector on the HTTP collector is the mechanism for getting the data into separate fields in the Stream.
• Read data into a stream from the HTTP datasource
