MySQL (AWS RDS) data output

To help you get started with Upsolver, you can try it out for free. You can choose between Upsolver Dedicated Compute and Community subscriptions. Both options give you free Upsolver units (UUs), units of processing capability per hour based on VM instance type.

Create a data source

1. Click on DATA SOURCES > NEW to connect to various data sources. Upsolver works with both streaming and static data sources.

2. Click on SELECT next to Amazon S3 data source. There are many data sources to choose from. The Quickstart uses pre-populated mobile data.

3. Choose BUCKET > upsolver-tutorials-mobile-users by clicking on the dropdown box. Fill in FOLDER > data and DATE PATTERN > yyyy/MM/dd/HH/ click on CONTINUE. Upsolver automatically verifies the files in the bucket and displays blue checkmarks next to the file name.

4. Upsolver automatically parses the data and displays a sample of the data that you’re working with. You can expand each record to view each event in a formatted view.

5. Click on CREATE to complete the Amazon S3 Data Source. Notice the schema is automatically generated and data statistics are also displayed.

Create a data output

1. Click on NEW OUTPUT on the upper right corner. (You can also get to the output screen by clicking on OUTPUTS > NEW)

3. Enter gaming as the name of the output. Leave everything as default and click on NEXT.

4. Expand the payload field. Add a field to your output by clicking on the + sign next to eventName. The field that we’re adding is. data.payload.eventName.

Data transformation

1. Rename the fields by clicking on the field under SCHEMA COLUMN and rename payload.eventname to event_name

2. Transform data.clientEventTime to from unix epoch to human readable format in UTC. Click on Add Calculated Field on the upper left and find the TO_DATE function, then click on SELECT. Enter data.clientEventTime in the DATETIME box and give the field a NAME called event_time. Click on PREVIEW to make sure the date looks right and click on SAVE.

3. Add event_time to your output by clicking on + next to the field.

4. Add a count for each event by clicking on Make Aggregated > OK > Add Aggregation. Click on SELECT next to COUNT (*) and click on SAVE.

Connect to MySQL and start streaming

1. Click on RUN on the upper right corner and choose Create a new MySQL Connection from the MySQL Connection dropdown.

• CONNECTION STRING (make sure the schema name exists in your MySQL environment): jdbc:mysql://database-2.eyb4e3j72ydseds.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com:3306/dev

• USER NAME: <mysql username> (AWS RDS default username is admin)

• PASSWORD: <mysql password>

• NAME: <name of the connection>

4. Select OUTPUTS > gaming > Run and choose the connection that you just defined as MYSQL CONNECTION. Choose dev (make sure this database exists in your MySQL environment) under SCHEMA and TABLE NAME > gaming. Click on NEXT.
