Data Collector User Interface
Data Collector provides a web-based user interface (UI) to configure pipelines, preview data, monitor pipelines, and review snapshots of data.
The Data Collector UI includes the following general areas and icons:
| Area/Icon | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pipeline canvas | Canvas for configuring, previewing, or monitoring a pipeline. |
| 2 | Properties panel / Preview panel / Monitor panel | When you configure a pipeline, the Properties panel displays the properties of the
pipeline or selected stage. You can resize, minimize and maximize the panel. When you preview data, the Preview panel displays the data that enters and exits the selected stage or group of stages. It can also display stage properties and preview configuration. When you monitor a running pipeline, the Monitor panel displays real-time metrics and statistics. Note: Some icons and options might not display. The items
that display are based on the task that you are performing and roles
assigned to your user account.
