Is it possible in Grafana using a source data table with a JSON field, to get an attribute from that field? - grafana

We configure Grafana to use a table input data source, it works very well with the fields already defined (like time, status, values, etc.).
But now a new field has been added to the table that is a serialized JSON object, returned from a process we can not modify.
We need to use a value (timestamp) that is a property of this serialized object in that table string field.
One serialized field value example is this:
{"timestamp":"2020-02-23T18:25:44.012Z","status":"fail","errors":[{"timestamp":"2020-02-23T18:25:43.511Z","message":"invalid key: key is shorter than minimum 16 bytes"},{"timestamp":"2020-02-23T18:25:43.851Z","message":"unauthorized: authorization not possible"}]}
The pretty print is:
{
"timestamp": "2020-02-23T18:25:44.012Z",
"status": "fail",
"errors": [
{
"timestamp": "2020-02-23T18:25:43.511Z",
"message": "invalid key: key is shorter than minimum 16 bytes"
},
{
"timestamp": "2020-02-23T18:25:43.851Z",
"message": "unauthorized: authorization not possible"
}
]
}
Is there any way to use a value like: field.timestamp or field.errors[0].timestamp ?
Is there a Plugin that allows it ?, or is not possible at all ?

Use PostgreSQL JSON column select in your Grafana query, e.g.:
SELECT
field->'timestamp',
...

How can I get the count of JSON array in ADF?

I'm using Azure data factory to retrieve data and copy into a database... the Source looks like this:
{
"GroupIds": [
"4ee1a-0856-4618-4c3c77302b",
"21259-0ce1-4a30-2a499965d9",
"b2209-4dda-4e2f-029384e4ad",
"63ac6-fcbc-8f7e-36fdc5e4f9",
"821c9-aa73-4a94-3fc0bd2338"
],
"Id": "w5a19-a493-bfd4-0a0c8djc05",
"Name": "Test Item",
"Description": "test item description",
"Notes": null,
"ExternalId": null,
"ExpiryDate": null,
"ActiveStatus": 0,
"TagIds": [
"784083-4c77-b8fb-0135046c",
"86de96-44c1-a497-0a308607",
"7565aa-437f-af36-8f9306c9",
"d5d841-1762-8c14-d8420da2",
"bac054-2b6e-a19b-ef5b0b0c"
],
"ResourceIds": []
}
In my ADF pipeline, I am trying to get the count of GroupIds and store that in a database column (along with the associated Id from the JSON above).
Is there some kind of syntax I can use to tell ADF that I just want the count of GroupIds or is this going to require some kind of recursive loop activity?
You can use the length function in Azure Data Factory (ADF) to check the length of json arrays:
length(json(variables('varSource')).GroupIds)
If you are loading the data to a SQL database then you could use OPENJSON, a simple example:
DECLARE #json NVARCHAR(MAX) = '{
"GroupIds": [
"4ee1a-0856-4618-4c3c77302b",
"21259-0ce1-4a30-2a499965d9",
"b2209-4dda-4e2f-029384e4ad",
"63ac6-fcbc-8f7e-36fdc5e4f9",
"821c9-aa73-4a94-3fc0bd2338"
],
"Id": "w5a19-a493-bfd4-0a0c8djc05",
"Name": "Test Item",
"Description": "test item description",
"Notes": null,
"ExternalId": null,
"ExpiryDate": null,
"ActiveStatus": 0,
"TagIds": [
"784083-4c77-b8fb-0135046c",
"86de96-44c1-a497-0a308607",
"7565aa-437f-af36-8f9306c9",
"d5d841-1762-8c14-d8420da2",
"bac054-2b6e-a19b-ef5b0b0c"
],
"ResourceIds": []
}'
SELECT *
FROM OPENJSON( #json, '$.GroupIds' )
SELECT COUNT(*) countOfGroupIds
FROM OPENJSON( #json, '$.GroupIds' );
My results:
If your data is stored in a table the code is similar. Make sense?
Another funky way to approach it if you really need the count in-line, is to convert the JSON to XML using the built-in functions and then run some XPath on it. It's not as complicated as it sounds and would allow you to get the result inside the pipeline.
The Data Factory XML function converts JSON to XML, but that JSON must have a single root property. We can fix up the json with concat and a single line of code. In this example I'm using a Set Variable activity, where varSource is your original JSON:
#concat('{"root":', variables('varSource'), '}')
Next, we can just apply the XPath with another simple expression:
#string(xpath(xml(json(variables('varIntermed1'))), 'count(/root/GroupIds)'))
My results:
Easy huh. It's a shame there isn't more built-in support for JPath unless I'm missing something, although you can use limited JPath in the Copy activity.
You can use Data flow activity in the Azure data factory pipeline to get the count.
Step1:
Connect the Source to JSON dataset, and in Source options under JSON settings, select single document.
In the source preview, you can see there are 5 GroupIDs per ID.
Step2:
Use flatten transformation to deformalize the values into rows for GroupIDs.
Select GroupIDs array in Unroll by and Unroll root.
Step3:
Use Aggregate transformation, to get the count of GroupIDs group by ID.
Under Group by: Select a column from the drop-down for your aggregation.
Under Aggregate: You can build the expression to get the count of the column (GroupIDs).
Aggregate Data preview:
Step4: Connect the output to Sink transformation to load the final output to database.

Convert Row Count to INT in Azure Data Factory

I am trying to use a Lookup Activity to return a row count. I am able to do this, but once I do, I would like to run an If Statement against it and if the count returns more than 20MIL in rows, I want to execute an additional pipeline for further table manipulation. The issue, however, is that I can not compare the returned value to a static integer. Below is the current Dynamic Expression I have for this If Statement:
#greater(int(activity('COUNT_RL_WK_GRBY_LOOKUP').output),20000000)
and when fired, the following error is returned:
{
"errorCode": "InvalidTemplate",
"message": "The function 'int' was invoked with a parameter that is not valid. The value cannot be converted to the target type",
"failureType": "UserError",
"target": "If Condition1",
"details": ""
}
Is it possible to convert this returned value to an integer in order to make the comparison? If not, is there a possible work around in order to achieve my desired result?
Looks like the issue is with your dynamic expression. Please correct your dynamic expression similar to below and retry.
If firstRowOnly is set to true : #greater(int(activity('COUNT_RL_WK_GRBY_LOOKUP').output.firstRow.propertyname),20000000)
If firstRowOnly is set to false : #greater(int(activity('COUNT_RL_WK_GRBY_LOOKUP').output.value[zero based index].propertyname),20000000)
The lookup result is returned in the output section of the activity run result.
When firstRowOnly is set to true (default), the output format is as shown in the following code. The lookup result is under a fixed firstRow key. To use the result in subsequent activity, use the pattern of #{activity('MyLookupActivity').output.firstRow.TableName}.
Sample Output JSON code is as follows:
{
"firstRow":
{
"Id": "1",
"TableName" : "Table1"
}
}
When firstRowOnly is set to false, the output format is as shown in the following code. A count field indicates how many records are returned. Detailed values are displayed under a fixed value array. In such a case, the Lookup activity is followed by a Foreach activity. You pass the value array to the ForEach activity items field by using the pattern of #activity('MyLookupActivity').output.value. To access elements in the value array, use the following syntax: #{activity('lookupActivity').output.value[zero based index].propertyname}. An example is #{activity('lookupActivity').output.value[0].tablename}.
Sample Output JSON Code is as follows:
{
"count": "2",
"value": [
{
"Id": "1",
"TableName" : "Table1"
},
{
"Id": "2",
"TableName" : "Table2"
}
]
}
Hope this helps.
Do this - when you run the debugger look at the output from your lookup. It will give a json string including the alias for the result of your query. If it's not firstrow set then you get a table. But for first you'll get output then firstRow and then your alias. So that's what you specify.
For example...if you put alias of your count as Row_Cnt then...
#greater(activity('COUNT_RL_WK_GRBY_LOOKUP').output.firstRow.Row_Cnt,20000000)
You don't need the int function. You were trying to do that (just like I was!) because it was complaining about datatype. That's because you were returning a bunch of json text as the output instead of the value you were after. Totally makes sense after you realize how it works. But it is NOT intuitively obvious because it's coming back with data but its string stuff from json, not the value you're after. And functions like equals are just happy with that. It's not until you try to do something like greater where it looks for numeric value that it chokes.

Is it possible to run a query using Orion where the searching criteria is given by attributes value?

As I create entities in an Orion server, I can search by ID, as flat or using regular expressions:
http://<localhost>:1026/v1/queryContext
Content:
{
"entities": [
{
"type": "Sensor",
"isPattern": "true",
"id": "sensor_1.*"
}
],
"attributes": ["temperature","humidity"]
}
In the above example I'd get all objects of type "Sensor" whose ID starts with "sensor_1", and their attributes "temperature" and "humidity". I wonder if there is any way that would allow me to search by specific attribute value, for example to get those sensors whose humidity is over "60.2", or this selection must be done over the retrieved data queried by ID.
Not in the current Orion version (0.19.0) but it will be possible in the future. Have a look to the attribute::<name> filter with the = operator in this document.

ExtJS4 Ext Direct form loading with array named fields

I have fields like this (for example only one):
Ext.create("Ext.form.Number", {
name: "field[]",
allowDecimals: true
});
...and I can post nice values. But when I'm trying to load values (form.load({params: {id: 1}})), it returns failure, and doesn't load the values to the fields.
Returned ajax values like this:
{
"type": "rpc",
"tid": 2,
"action": "MyAction",
"method": "getFormData",
"result": {
"field":["5"]
}
}
Can you help me, what should I do? Form can't load array values to array fields?
Array is not a valid type for fields. How would you expect this to work ? ExtJs stores are like tables in a database, model are like the rows.
As you cannot save an array into a field in mysql, you cannot in a field of an ExtJs model either.
You have to model your data differently in two tables instead of one ( main table and details table ). Do it the same way as you would in a database.

mongodb-php: "key" side value for nested querying of find() function doesnot work

I want to retrive record which are matching to booking's client id & want to show it to client. I am doing the following:
$mongoDb = $mongoDb->selectCollection('booking');
$bookingInfo = $mongoDb->find(array("client.id" => $_SESSION['client_id']));
My mongo database record looks like this:
"paymentDue": "",
"client": {
"contacts": [
{
"name": "loy furison",
"email": "loy#hotmail.com"
}
],
"id": "5492abba64363df013000029",
"name": "Birdfire"
},
want to fire the query with key value as client.id in find function. But this query doesnt work..whats the issue
I got a little logic that is different by key name only. If i find it with client.name then i shows me records & there i need to insert these in json object & then through foreach loop each record if i retrive & compare then it works...got it but the expected doesnt work why?????...didnt get:-!
