IBM InfoSphere Streams Version 4.1.1
Layout options in an instance graph
Use the layout options to customize how you want to view the topology of the applications that are running on a Streams instance in the Instance Graph view.
You can choose the type of Streams elements, such as operators, PEs, and hosts to include in the graph. You can also specify how to color code these elements.
The Instance graph supports the following layout options:
- Composite
- The operators are grouped by composite operators. Composite is the default option.
- Category
- The operators are grouped based on the category they are assigned
to.Tip: Assign categories to operators based on common function or common stream processing operations. For example, ingest is a common category that you can use to group all ingest operators in an application.
- PE
- The operators are grouped by PE.
- Host
- The operators are grouped by hosts.
