CEP List as single items (iterate over managed obejects)

Question

in CEP, I can get managed objects as a list, for example with the function "...ManagedObjectByType". After getting the list, I use the AllOf function to filter the list. Now, I would like to put every single Mangaged Object from the list into a new stream ({A,B,C} -> A,B,C), so they are seperated from each other in order to generate for example alarms in the next stage. Unfortunately, I have no clue how I can produce single events (Managed Objects) from a List. Can someone help?

Best, Nico

Answer 1

You can do something like this:

create schema Device as ManagedObject;

create schema CollectedDevices(
    devices List
);

create schema SingleDevice(
    device Device
);

insert into CollectedDevices
select
    findAllManagedObjectByFragmentType("c8y_IsDevice") as devices
from pattern[timer:interval(10 seconds)];

insert into SingleDevice
select
    singleDevice as device
from 
    CollectedDevices as devices unidirectional,
    CollectedDevices[devices@type(Device)] as singleDevice;

The last statement will then be triggered for each element int the list.
