GetEventDataByIdentifier(identifier)[source]¶

Retrieves specific event data.

Parameters: identifier (AttributeContainerIdentifier) – event data identifier.
Returns: event data or None if not available.
Return type: EventData

GetEvents()[source]¶

Retrieves the events.

Yields: EventObject – event.

GetFirstWrittenEventSource()[source]¶

Retrieves the first event source that was written after open.

Using GetFirstWrittenEventSource and GetNextWrittenEventSource newly added event sources can be retrieved in order of addition.

Returns: event source or None if there are no newly written ones.
Return type: EventSource

GetNextWrittenEventSource()[source]¶

Retrieves the next event source that was written after open.

Returns: event source or None if there are no newly written ones.
Return type: EventSource

GetSortedEvents(time_range=None)[source]¶

Retrieves the events in increasing chronological order.

This includes all events written to the storage including those pending being flushed (written) to the storage.

Parameters: time_range (Optional[TimeRange]) – time range used to filter events that fall in a specific period.
Yields: EventObject – event.

Open()[source]¶: Opens the storage writer.

PrepareMergeTaskStorage(task)[source]¶

Prepares a task storage for merging.

Parameters: task (Task) – task.
Raises: NotImplementedError – since there is no implementation.

Reads preprocessing information.

The preprocessing information contains the system configuration which contains information about various system specific configuration data, for example the user accounts.

Parameters: knowledge_base (KnowledgeBase) – is used to store the preprocessing information.

RemoveProcessedTaskStorage(task)[source]¶

Removes a processed task storage.

Parameters: task (Task) – task.
Raises: NotImplementedError – since there is no implementation.

SetSerializersProfiler(serializers_profiler)[source]¶

Sets the serializers profiler.

Parameters: serializers_profiler (SerializersProfiler) – serializers profiler.

SetStorageProfiler(storage_profiler)[source]¶

Sets the storage profiler.

Parameters: storage_profiler (StorageProfiler) – storage profiler.

WritePreprocessingInformation(knowledge_base)[source]¶

Writes preprocessing information.

Parameters: knowledge_base (KnowledgeBase) – contains the preprocessing information.

WriteSessionCompletion(aborted=False)[source]¶

Writes session completion information.

Parameters: aborted (Optional[bool]) – True if the session was aborted.

WriteSessionStart()[source]¶: Writes session start information.

WriteTaskCompletion(aborted=False)[source]¶

Writes task completion information.

Parameters: aborted (Optional[bool]) – True if the session was aborted.

WriteTaskStart()[source]¶: Writes task start information.

duration¶

duration of the range in microseconds.

Type: int

end_timestamp¶

timestamp that marks the end of the range.

Type: int

start_timestamp¶

timestamp that marks the start of the range.

Type: int
