IBM Business Automation Insights
As a IBM Cloud Pak® for Automation platform
component, IBM Business Automation Insights provides visual
insights and feeds a data lake to infuse artificial intelligence into IBM Digital Business Automation . Business owners can thus benefit from
powerful analysis capabilities, such as viewing your business data in dashboards, and using HDFS
data lakes for data science applications.
Discovering IBM Business Automation Insights
Discover benefits and architecture. Beyond IBM Cloud Pak for Automation events, you can have IBM Business Automation Insights handle events from your own applications.
Event processing
IBM Business Automation Insights ingests and processes events from software components of the IBM Cloud Pak for Automation platform or from custom sources, and makes the resulting data available for visualization in dashboards or through HDFS data lakes for reuse in data mining or data science applications.
Data visualization
Dashboards help you visualize your business data so that you can uncover insights and make data-driven decisions.
Data storage
The events that are sent over Kafka topics from IBM Cloud Pak for Automation platform or from custom sources are processed by Flink event processing jobs, which can write data to Elasticsearch indexes for visualization in dashboards, or to an HDFS data lake for data science applications, or both.
Machine learning with Business Automation Insights
Examples in the form of Jupyter Notebooks show how to take the most benefit of business data that IBM Business Automation Insights stores in Hadoop file system (HDFS).
Samples
Use the provided samples to become familiar with IBM Business Automation Insights concepts and as a starting point for your own work on your business data.
Troubleshooting
If you observe unexpected behaviors or results, the following pages help you resolve issues. To diagnose the problems, enable logging and tracing, and use the Flink web interface. If no installation fault is the cause of your problem, consider how your installation operates.
IBM Business Automation Insights specifics on Kubernetes
IBM Business Automation Insights deployed on a Kubernetes cluster presents different features than IBM Business Automation Insights for a server, which is a deployment mode outside of Kubernetes.
IBM Business Automation Insights specifics on a server
With IBM Business Automation Insights for a server, you benefit from event ingestion, dashboarding, and data lake capabilities even if no Kubernetes cluster is available. You customize your configuration differently than on Kubernetes.
