This video walks through the steps to installing Elastic Stack's main components, Elasticsearch and Kibana. It also shows you how to configure authentication and role-based access controls using X-Pack.
As the name suggests, ETL or Extract, Transform, and Load performs the following three operations:
· Extracts the data from EnergyIP · Transforms the data by performing data cleansing operations, and · Loads the data for the Analytics application
This product introduction course provides an overview of the EnergyIP® Analytics Suite and Foundation. EnergyIP Analytics Suite is a solution that encompasses Analytics Foundation with add-on applications for specific uses cases such as Power Quality, and Revenue Protection. EnergyIP Analytics Foundation enables utilities to gain insight into customers and their usage patterns, and the infrastructure that provides this information.
Raymund Pimentel provides an overview of the installation and configuration steps, plus a software demonstration of Kibana, a visualization tool for Elasticsearch used in EnergyIP® Analytics Foundation.
Analytics Foundation 3.2 includes Elastic Stack as the interactive visualization tool. It has been incorporated in order to help in the search and analysis of a number of events from the utilities' end points and perform highly interactive analysis on event data including outage event data. This video includes a demonstration of the Dashboard, a collection of one or more visualizations.
This video provides a product introduction to the Service Point Data Visualizer, a key component of Analytics Foundation for EnergyIP. The Data Visualizer allows you to select a Service Point, a date and time range and then visualize any time series data for that Service Point.
