Managing Usage Statistics Collection

Applies to: IBM StreamSets as a Service

You can help to improve IBM StreamSets by allowing IBM StreamSets to collect usage statistics about system performance and the features that you use. This data helps IBM StreamSets to improve product performance and to make feature development decisions.

  1. In the top right toolbar, click the My Account icon () and then click your user name.
  2. Click the Account Settings tab.
  3. In the My Account section, select Share Usage Data with StreamSets to enable usage statistics collection.

    Clear the checkbox if you prefer not to share usage statistics.

  4. Click Save.

Configuring Browser Settings

You can configure browser settings that are saved in your current browser. These settings are not applied if you sign in using another browser.

  1. In the top right toolbar, click the My Account icon () and then click your user name.
  2. Click the Browser Settings tab.
  3. Configure the following settings:
    Browser Setting Description
    Browser to Engine Communication Method used for browser to engine communication:
    • Using WebSocket Tunneling
    • Using Direct Engine REST APIs
    Important: Before using direct engine REST APIs, you must configure all engines to use the HTTPS protocol. For more information, see Engine Communication.
    Override Organization's Authoring Engine Timeout Overrides the authoring engine timeout value defined for the organization.
    Authoring Engine Timeout Number of milliseconds that Control Hub waits for a response from an authoring engine before considering the engine as not accessible.

    When the engine is not accessible, you cannot select that engine as the authoring engine when designing pipelines or creating connections.

    In most cases, the organization value should be appropriate. Try increasing the value when the authoring engines are running, but the authoring engine selection pages indicate that engines are not accessible.

    Enter a value after choosing to override the organization's authoring engine timeout.
    Hide Uninstalled Stages Hide stages that are not installed on the authoring engine in the pipeline creation help bar and in the stage library panel in the pipeline canvas.

    When cleared, stages that are not installed appear disabled, or greyed out.
    Show Advanced Options in New Pipelines Show advanced options by default when creating a new pipeline or when adding a new stage to an existing pipeline.

    When cleared, new pipelines and stages hide the advanced options by default.
  4. Click Save.

Inviting Users

Invite other users to join your organization so that you can collaboratively manage pipelines as a team.

  1. In the toolbar, click the My Account icon () and then click Invite Users.
  2. In the Add Users window, type or paste one or more email addresses.
    Note: Users enter their own display name when they join the organization.
  3. Optionally, select one or more existing groups to add the users to.

    Control Hub provides a default all group that includes every user in the organization. To create additional groups, see Creating Groups.

  4. Optionally, modify the roles assigned to the users.

    Default role assignments for new users permit most tasks to encourage development and testing. Change the role assignments as needed to secure the integrity of your organization and data.

    For a description of each role, see Role Descriptions.

  5. Click Invite.
    • For IBM StreamSets as a Service - Control Hub sends an email inviting the users to join your organization.
    • For IBM StreamSets as client-managed software - Inform the users that they can access IBM StreamSets on the IBM Software Hub platform.
    Note: Users must join the organization within seven days. Otherwise, the invite expires and you must renew the invites.
