Is Xively ONLY capable of showing graphs of values, or sending responses to triggers, etc? Is there any way to create a little scrollable message window and see log-type messages as they happen?
Seems like most of the info on the Xively site is marketing hype and a formal API spec, along with some glossy examples and high prices.
Thanks
Xively datastreams can store string values. You will need to implement a log viewer yourself, which is quite simple to achieve using JavaScript.

I am trying to generate a report using Google Analytics Explore tab using Free Form technique. Few weeks ago I could use Message name, stream name and time to see all the notification name, platform and total no of click. I exported the same to excel file.
but today when I tried to generate the same I couldn't find "Message Name" dimension. Is this field removed from pre defined/custom dimensions from GA? or am I doing something wrong?
My main purpose is to get all list of notifications sent via Firebase.
Any help will be deeply appreciated.
Given that you excluded the obvious issues like using the too-fresh data, the proper way to debug it is to export the data into a sample BQ table, then conduct exactly the same analysis that you're trying to conduct in GA4's explorer. From there, if your issue is with explorer's filters, you will quickly see it.
If, however, you're able to see your event properties in BQ, but not able to get the explorer to display them... Well, Google likely saved quite a lot of money on GA4. UA was pretty expensive. GA4 now introduces all these amazing features like data retention limits, properties' values cardinality bugs, odd inconsistencies between explore's reports and default reports and so on.
For now, the best way to really access your data minus all the artificial limitations of GA4 is to ETL your data from there either through the reporting API or exporting it to BQ.
I'm trying to understand the workflow and how to think when working with Power BI.
I'm trying to create the visual side of a logging framework using azure application insights and log analytics in the background.
What I got stuck on right now is using a visualization for different table structures.
Scenario:
So lets say I have an integration workflow that is compiled of different components (starts at one endpoint, being processed and sent to destination endpoint), and this workflow is used in parallel depending on the endpoints.
Visualization:
A ----> (integration process) -----> B
C ----> (integration process) -----> D
A <---- (integration process) <----- B
C <---- (integration process) <----- D
In this process I'm logging traces and exceptions for each workflow for example.
And lets say I have extracted the power BI query from log analytics to import the data into Power BI.
Now as you can see above I have an "Send" and "Receive" flow for both sets of endpoints per parallel integration so to speak and I want to be able to pair these per report in Power BI.
Problem:
So then to my problem for now;
Let's say I want to put a doughnut chart with total amount sent AND received messages.
Also when clicking on the different parts of the chart I want to change the containing data and also the structure of the single table in the same report.
What I'm struggling with is using a table to display the content of two workflows that are related to each other in the sense of being a "Sent and received" visualization of the integration, but don't have any hard drawn relations to each other in code.
I was reading something about a switch statement but I thought i'd ask the question here to learn "the way of thinking" when using Power BI.
Hope I made my problem clear by the description above, if I forgot anything please ask and I'll do my best to try to further explain what I'm asking for.
EDIT:
Ok so regarding the feedback i got of the question being to broad, does it help i i would say i want to be able to switch everything in a Table (that is: all columns and values), by a clickable slicer for example.
why i'm trying to achieve is something similar to this, but for a table view:

Do i select the content of a table with a measure-query or do i have to do any other special fix to get this to work?
Hope this clarify the problem i'm working on.
If you are looking to switch between two entirely different tables, I'd recommend using buttons to toggle between different bookmarks which show/hide different visuals.
Check out the documentation for bookmarks and buttons for more detailed information and come back if you get stuck and have more specific questions.
I am new to implement Android notification channel in Oreo. What is the maximum number of notification channels for a single application. Can we create unlimited channels or it has some count?
As far as I know there is no limit on the number of channels an app can create. The only purpose of NotificationChannel is to give more control of notification behavior to the user. It is no way to reduce the number of notification per app.
You can read about Notification Channel in detail at Create and Display Notification on Android Oreo | With Example
There is a limit that is not documented on the number of channels you can have at the same time, but no limit on how many times you can create a channel, as long as you have deleted other channels.
The file PreferencesHelper.java contains a limit that is currently set to 50.000
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/refs/heads/master/services/core/java/com/android/server/notification/PreferencesHelper.java
And this is being used to restrict the creation of more channels when it goes over that limit, throwing the exception "Limit exceed; cannot create more channels"
Unfortunately that value is not publicly accessible, so any limit check you might want to implement will have to be hardcoded by yourself. My suggestion is to set your own limit to a number that you think starts being unreasonable, and when that is reached you run a check on your notification channels to figure out what is going on, and fix it. For example, if your app will never need more than 5 channels to be created, then setting the limit to 6 would be a good way to start.
The commit https://github.com/aosp-mirror/platform_frameworks_base/commit/f528b337dd48b7e8071269e07e610bd4a3668c75 update the max notification channel to 5.000
Coming with Android Oreo, Notification Channels are something a developer uses to break down the notifications his or her app can give to us by type. The channels are decided by the people doing the developing, and the idea is to give us a way to separate out the notifications that are important to us from the ones that aren't, then decide how they will be shown. Some apps will have a lot of different channels. Some will have just a few and some will have only one.
In versions of Android before O, a developer used what was called a priority level to decide how to show you a notification. If they felt the notification was important, they could set it to peek (show a visual indication on your screen) or make a sound, or both. If they felt it wasn't it would just be placed in the tray for you to see the next time you went through them.
Now they break things out into channels and we get to decide how each type of notification is displayed. All notifications of the same type (for example, a reply on your Twitter feed) are placed into the same channel without any other types of notification grouped with them.
As a bonus, apps that allow us to use more than one account can have channels for each combined — your personal email and work email can follow the same rules and show you things the same way no matter which accounts received the notification.
You should read this:
https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/notifications.html#ManageChannels
Example:
My boss wants me to fashion a QR code so that when the user scans it, it displays a button that when clicked:
(1) Will take the user to our website.
(2) Will quietly send us a text message.
The purpose of #2 is to allow us to gather their phone number.
In addition to being a privacy violation, I'm pretty sure this (and any other means of achieving this), is technically impossible. Is that correct?
My understanding of QR codes is that they only contain text. That text may contain keywords which a good reader may parse and display buttons for. It seems the closest I can get to my employer's requirement is to use an SMSTO: link in the QR code, so that (given an appropriate reader) the user is prompted to send us an SMS, at which point we can get their number.
Can anyone think of another way of doing this?
(any other clarification also welcome)
It is technically impossible.
As you say, the best you can do is create an smsto: link.
What you can do is create a code with the instruction
"Scan the code to receive our website by SMS"
Then, create a code with
smsto:123456:website
This will send the keyword "website" to a phone number. You'll need to set up a phone number which can auto-respond with the URL you want. There are commercial services which do this (depending on where you are in the world). Or look at a service like FrontlineSMS which can send the texts on your behalf.
Quick question:
When I'm in Google Reader, it will flash and pop up a new number of unread items indicating that a new article has just been published (typically <1 minute after the blog's "published date"). Does Google just constantly ping every blog I'm subscribed to, or does the RSS standard have some sort of "signal" that it puts out to subscribing agents when new content it put up?
Thanks for any clarification!
I'm currently running an app that is based on RSS feeds, but I have a cron job running hourly to scour the interwebs for new content, but I'd love to know more about how to solve the "I need realtime" problem without overstaying my API call welcome.
" Does Google just constantly ping every blog I'm subscribed to"
Yes.
"does the RSS standard have some sort of "signal" that it puts out"
No.
If you want real time information, contact the vendor and pay them to send you stuff. Seriously. If information has value, then timely information has more value. If you want it sooner, you have to pay to get it before the folks who are getting it for free.
