Hi all, I’m new to Zeebe and I am following Zeebe Documentation when it comes to Zeebe Monitor it’s not working I’m not able to open Zeebe Monitor UI.
How to show or deploy a simple BPMN file (placed order -> received the order)? so that we can see Zeebe Monitor UI
How instances are getting added to Zeebe Monitor for a simple BPMN file?
How to open hazelcast in-memory DB?
How to configure Zeebe source as Kafka queue?
Thanks in advance for suggestions.
Hi @vinitkumar,
welcome to Zeebe 
Can you please provide more information to analyze the issue?
Which versions do you use (Zeebe, Simple Monitor, Hazelcast Exporter, …)?
How did you set up the Simple Monitor and Zeebe?
Do you see any errors?
Hi @vinitkumar, welcome to the Zeebe Nation!
I’m not sure how to answer your next two questions. Take a look at this video. It may make things clearer.
The Zeebe Simple Monitor uses an exporter in the broker to output records to an H2 database. When you deploy a bpmn file to the broker, the broker will pass a deploy record to the exporter. This is then visible in the Simple Monitor.
Hi @philipp.ossle, @jwulf , Thanks for your quick response.
I have added below property setting into zeebe.conf.toml
[[exporters]]
id = “simple-monitor”
className = “io.zeebe.monitor.SimpleMonitorExporter”
[exporters.args]
jdbcUrl = “jdbc:h2:tcp://db:1521/zeebe-monitor”
driverName = “org.h2.Driver”
userName = “sa”
password = “”
And I’m getting error while running zeebe broker
It seems that the exporter JAR ( zeebe-simple-monitor-exporter-0.14.0.jar) is not copied to the lib/ folder.
Please note that we release a new Zeebe version today. There is also a new version of the Simple Monitor: https://github.com/zeebe-io/zeebe-simple-monitor/releases/tag/0.15.0 that requires a new configuration.
I have downloaded * Zeebe Monitor
These following doubt I have could you please help me to solve:
Hi @vinitkumar,
Zeebe 0.20.0 is released. I recommend to download the latest version
and following the instruction on the REAME: GitHub - camunda-community-hub/zeebe-simple-monitor: A monitoring application to show insides of Zeebe for developers
Regarding:
Wherever you want. Maybe, next to the Zeebe folder. By default, it works when it is on the same machine.
Using the latest version, you only need to add the Hazelcast exporter to the config file.
[[exporters]]
id = "hazelcast"
className = "io.zeebe.hazelcast.exporter.HazelcastExporter"
[exporters.args]
# comma separated list of io.zeebe.protocol.record.ValueType
enabledValueTypes = "JOB,WORKFLOW_INSTANCE,DEPLOYMENT,INCIDENT,TIMER,VARIABLE,MESSAGE,MESSAGE_SUBSCRIPTION,MESSAGE_START_EVENT_SUBSCRIPTION"
Does this work for you?
It does, thank you @philipp.ossler I’m able to see Zeebe Monitor UI but:
I mean how to link my deployed BPMN file to Zeebe Monitor UI?
Hi @vinitkumar, are you asking how to deploy a BPMN file to the Zeebe broker using the Zeebe Simple Monitor?
Or are you asking how to deploy a BPMN file to the Zeebe broker using the Java client?
Hi @jwulf and @philipp.ossler,
This helped me a lot, but still, I’m not able to open in-memory ( Hazelcast) DB.
Do we have UI for Hazelcast in-memory DB? If yes then how to open that to check stored data inside?
This bellow exporter is for Hazelcast DB to connect. Do we have [[exporters]] for NoSQL DB as well?
If we do have kindly share zeebe.cfg.toml and application.properties configuration settings.
Thank you in advance.
What is it that you want to achieve?
You can use Operate to inspect exported data in Elastic Search. Or you can write your own exporter. Here are a couple of blog posts about that:
You can also turn on the debug exporter and see the records on the console.
If you share what you are trying to achieve, and why, we can point you in the best direction.
I want to integrate Kafka as a source with Zeebe, but as per Zeebe documentation it’s not ready for production so can’t I push this to production? Else do you have other suggestion or link to integrate Kafka and Zeebe.
Production ready as of yesterday! See: https://zeebe.io/blog/2019/07/announcing-zeebe-0-20-production-ready/
I get that ultimately you want to link and Zeebe and Kafka. What do you want to inspect the in-memory database for?
Did you read this blog post? https://zeebe.io/blog/2018/12/writing-an-apache-kafka-connector-for-zeebe/
Hi @jwulf,
I appreciate your quick response.
I want to persist the state of processes and some other required objects into H2 for now.
I couldn’t find Spring Boot with Zeebe documentation. Could you please share with me the documentation of:
Continuing the discussion from Zeebe Monitor without docker not working:
application.yml configuration:
exporters:
hazelcast:
className: io.zeebe.hazelcast.exporter.HazelcastExporter
jarPath: lib/zeebe-hazelcast-exporter-1.4.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar
args:
enabledValueTypes: JOB,WORKFLOW_INSTANCE,DEPLOYMENT,INCIDENT,TIMER,VARIABLE,MESSAGE,MESSAGE_SUBSCRIPTION,MESSAGE_START_EVENT_SUBSCRIPTION
I have copied jar file into lib and its running perfectly with hazlecast and also zeebe-simple-monitoring-2.4.1.jar running as well. but the deployed workflow is not showing over simple-monitor ui…
kindly help me…
