Simulate a Stream Analytics job running topology before deployment

 

Before you start running your Stream Analytics job, it's crucial to check your query logic and find out the number of streaming units needed to handle the job's workload. This is where the Job Simulation feature comes in handy. It allows you to adjust the number of streaming units and simulate the job running topology, giving you an idea of how computing resources are allocated and utilized across the streaming nodes. The Job Simulation also provides suggestions for improving your query to make your job parallel. With this feature, you can ensure that your Stream Analytics job will use computing resources efficiently with the best performance. 

  

To make the best use of this feature, it's recommended to use it through the Azure Stream Analytics extension on Visual Studio Code. Refer to this article for more information: Optimize query performance using job diagram simulator (preview) | Microsoft Learn 

  

To use the job simulation feature, you can access it through the Azure Stream Analytics portal.

 

In conclusion, the Job Simulation feature in Azure Stream Analytics ensures that your job is executing in parallel and distributing the workload evenly across the streaming nodes. By leveraging its capabilities, you can achieve efficient and reliable data processing and ultimately unlocking the full potential of Azure Stream Analytics.

Optimize Stream Analytics job performance using the Job Diagram feature

 

When creating a Stream Analytics job, it's important to ensure that your job is parallel, and your query logic is optimized for performance and scalability. One tool that can help you achieve this is the Job Diagram feature in the Azure Stream Analytics portal.

 

The Job Diagram provides a visual representation of your entire job topology. It displays the data flow between the streaming nodes, which makes it easy to understand the job logic and parallelism. It also shows real-time metrics for each streaming node, such as the number of input events and watermark delay. By utilizing this feature, you can easily identify the bottlenecks and pinpoint the root cause of any performance issues.
