Visualization Applet
Run data analysis & visualization, data app demo with Pigsty
An Applet is a self-contained, data-driven mini-application that runs within the Pigsty infrastructure.
A typical Pigsty application includes at least one or all of the following components:
- Graphical Interface (Grafana Dashboard definitions) located in the
ui directory
- Data Definitions (PostgreSQL DDL Files) located in the
sql directory
- Data Files (various resources that need to be downloaded) located in the
data directory
- Logic Scripts (scripts for executing various logic) located in the
bin directory
Pigsty comes with several sample applications by default:
pglog: Analyzes PostgreSQL CSV log samples.covid: Visualizes WHO COVID-19 data and allows you to check pandemic data by country.isd: NOAA ISD, which provides access to meteorological observation records from 30,000 surface weather stations worldwide since 1901.
Structure
A Pigsty applet provides an installation script in its root directory: install or a related shortcut. You need to run this script as an admin user on the admin node to execute the installation. The installation script will detect the current environment (fetching METADB_URL, PIGSTY_HOME, GRAFANA_ENDPOINT, etc.) to complete the installation.
Typically, dashboards with the APP tag will be listed in the Pigsty Grafana homepage navigation under the Apps dropdown menu, and dashboards with both APP and OVERVIEW tags will be listed in the homepage panel navigation.
1 - Analyse CSVLOG Sample with the built-in PGLOG
Analyse CSVLOG Sample with the built-in PGLOG
PGLOG is a sample application included with Pigsty that uses the pglog.sample table in MetaDB as the data source.
Simply populate this table with logs and access the corresponding Dashboard.
Pigsty provides some handy commands to fetch CSV logs and load them into the sample table. The following shortcut commands are available on the master node by default:
catlog [node=localhost] [date=today] # Print CSV logs to standard output
pglog # Load CSVLOG from standard input
pglog12 # Load CSVLOG in PG12 format
pglog13 # Load CSVLOG in PG13 format
pglog14 # Load CSVLOG in PG14 format (=pglog)
catlog | pglog # Analyze logs of the current node for today
catlog node-1 '2021-07-15' | pglog # Analyze CSV logs of node-1 for 2021-07-15
Next, you can visit the following links to view sample log analysis dashboards:
The catlog command fetches CSV database logs from a specific node for a specific date and writes them to stdout.
By default, catlog fetches logs of the current node for today, but you can specify the node and date via parameters.
By combining pglog and catlog, you can quickly fetch and analyze database CSV logs.
catlog | pglog # Analyze logs of the current node for today
catlog node-1 '2021-07-15' | pglog # Analyze CSV logs of node-1 for 2021-07-15
2 - NOAA ISD Station
Fetch, Parse, Analyze, and Visualize Integrated Surface Weather Station Dataset
Including 30000 meteorology station, daily, sub-hourly observation records, from 1900-2023. https://github.com/Vonng/isd
It is recommended to use with Pigsty, the battery-included PostgreSQL distribution with Grafana & echarts for visualization. It will setup everything for your with make all;
Otherwise, you’ll have to provide your own PostgreSQL instance, and setup grafana dashboards manually.
Quick Start
Clone this repo
git clone https://github.com/Vonng/isd.git; cd isd;
Prepare a PostgreSQL Instance
Export PGURL in your environment to specify the target postgres database:
# the default PGURL for pigsty's meta database, change that accordingly
export PGURL=postgres://dbuser_dba:DBUser.DBA@127.0.0.1:5432/meta?sslmode=disable
psql "${PGURL}" -c 'SELECT 1' # check if connection is ok
then init database schema with:
make sql # setup postgres schema on target database
Get isd station metadata
The basic station metadata can be downloaded and loaded with:
make reload-station # equivalent to get-station + load-station
Fetch and load isd.daily
To load isd.daily dataset, which is organized by yearly tarball files.
You can download the raw data from noaa and parse with isd parser
make get-parser # download parser binary from github, you can just build with: make build
make reload-daily # download and reload latest daily data and re-calculates monthly/yearly data
Load Parsed Stable CSV Data
Or just load the pre-parsed stable part from GitHub.
Which is well-formatted CSV that does not require an isd parser.
make get-stable # download stable isd.daily dataset from Github
make load-stable # load downloaded stable isd.daily dataset into database
More Data
There are two parts of isd datasets needs to be regularly updated: station metadata & isd.daily of the latest year, you can reload them with:
make reload # reload-station + reload-daily
You can download and load isd.daily in a specific year with:
bin/get-daily 2022 # get daily observation summary of a specific year (1900-2023)
bin/load-daily "${PGURL}" 2022 # load daily data of a specific year
You can also download and load isd.hourly in a specific year with:
bin/get-hourly 2022 # get hourly observation record of a specific year (1900-2023)
bin/load-hourly "${PGURL}" 2022 # load hourly data of a specific year
Data
Dataset
There are four official datasets
Daily Dataset
- Tarball size 2.8GB (until 2023-06-24)
- Table size 24GB, Index size 6GB, Total size in PostgreSQL = 30GB
- If timescaledb compression is used, it will be compressed to around 4.5GB
Hourly dataset
- Tarball size 117GB
- Table size 1TB+ , Index size 600GB+
