Send events
By triggering the Sends event action, MashZone NextGen sends an event to a defined target. The action is triggered by a data point selection.
Before you can use this action you need to define a target for receiving events. In
MashZone NextGen version 10.1
Apama is supported as event receiving target. You can use an
Apama event target specified in
MashZone NextGen admin console for sending events to a running
Apama system. See
Manage
Apama Event
Targets for details.
Procedure
2. Click an inserted chart component that supports actions. The relevant properties dialog is displayed.
3. Click the Action tab.
4. Select the action trigger event in the Trigger drop-down menu.
The available actions depend on the selected component.
5. Activate the Send event option.
If you deactivate the option the action will not be deleted but deactivated in view mode.
6. Click Configure to set the action configuration.
a. Select an Apama event target in the Apama event target drop-down menu.
An Apama event target specifies a combination of Apama system and Apama event type that can be used to send events from MashZone NextGen to Apama.
By selecting a Apama event target several boxes are displayed representing fields of the event type configured in the Apama event target. The event fields can be used as container for data sent by MashZone NextGen.
b. Enter a fixed value manually into an event field or insert a coordinate that you want to be sent. You can insert a coordinate via drag and drop.
You can also insert coordinates of components placed on any tab available in the dashboard. In this case select a tab first and then insert the relevant coordinates in the target event fields via drag and drop.
c. Click Save action.
Your settings are applied.
