- All the Streams Studio views and editors
- Project Explorer
- Console
- Outline
- Problems

Views

Streams Studio uses the following views:

Console
Displays messages for running different commands from Streams Studio. There are different types of Console view output:
- SPL build. Displays messages from the SPL compiler in a build operation.
- Streams Studio Console. Displays output generated by running various streamtool commands (for example, submit job output or cancel job output).
- Logs. Displays logs from a Streams instance, job, or processing element.
- Stand-alone SPL application output. Displays output generated by stand-alone SPL applications.
Metrics
Displays the metrics from a running instance.
Outline
Displays a hierarchical overview of the application file that you are editing and reflects the textual structure of the file.
Problems
Displays the errors that are detected by the SPL compiler and the Streams Studio editors and launchers.
Project Explorer
Displays a hierarchical tree view of the toolkit and application in SPL projects so that you can operate on the elements within the project.
SPL Application Graph
Displays the topology of an application and is refreshed whenever an application is saved in the editor.
Streams Explorer
Displays your available hosts list, installation location, Stream instances for development, governance catalogs, and toolkit locations. You can manage and explore your Streams Studio environment.
Streams Instance Graph
Displays a graphical representation of the topology, state, and runtime behavior of all the applications that are running on a Streams instance.
Submit Time Job Configuration
Displays a graphical representation of the placement of operators and PEs on the resources in an instance, and allows for modifying the submission time job configuration settings before submitting the application.
