Downloading and Installing Siddhi Extensions

The Siddhi extensions supported for the Streaming Integrator are shipped with the product by default. If you need to download and install a different version of an extension, you can download it via the command line or manually as covered in the following sections.

Downloading and installing Siddhi extensions via the command line

To manage Siddhi extensions via the command line, see the following topics.

Identifying the Siddhi extensions to install/uninstall

The following are some actions that you are required to perform in order to identify the Siddhi extensions you need to install. Navigate to the <SI_HOME>/bin directory in the CLI to issue these commands.

• Viewing the list of extensions that are currently installed

  You can view the complete list of Siddhi extensions that are currently installed in your Streaming Integrator setup. All the extensions listed are completely installed with the dependencies.

  To perform this action, issue the appropriate command out of the following based on your operating system:

  • For Windows : extension-installer.bat list
  • For Linux/MacOS : ./extension-installer.sh list

  The following is a sample response log for this command.

  

• Viewing the installation status of all the supported Siddhi extensions

  You can view the complete list of Siddhi extensions supported for ESB Streaming Integrator together with the current installation status for each extension.

  The installation status can be one of the following:

  Installation Status	Description
  INSTALLED	This indicates that the extension is completely installed. The installation includes the JAR of the extension itself as well as all its dependencies (if any).
  NOT_INSTALLED	This indicates that the extension has not been installed. The JAR of the extension itself has not been installed. Dependencies (if any) may be already installed due to shared dependencies.
  PARTIALLY_INSTALLED	This indicates that the JAR of the extension itself has been installed, but one or more dependencies of the extension still need to be installed. When this status is displayed with an asterisk (i.e., PARTIALLY_INSTALLED (*)), it means that there are one or more dependencies that need to be manually installed for the extension. If an extension has this status, you can view more information about the dependencies to be installed by checking the installation status of that specific extension individually.

  To perform this action, issue the appropriate command out of the following based on your operating system:

  • For Windows : extension-installer.bat list --all
  • For Linux/MacOS : ./extension-installer.sh list --all

  The following is a sample response for this command.

  

• Checking the installation status of a specific Siddhi extension

  You can view the installation status of a specific extension individually together with details of dependencies that need to be manually downloaded (if any exist).

  To perform this action, issue the appropriate command out of the following based on your operating system:

  • For Windows : extension-installer.bat list <EXTENSION_NAME>
  • For Linux/MacOS : ./extension-installer.sh list <EXTENSION_NAME>

  Info

  Here, the <EXTENSION_NAME> refers to the name of the extension. When you use the command line to view the list of extensions that are currently installed or to view the installation status of all the supported Siddhi extensions, the extension names are displayed in the name column.
  
  e.g., The extension name of the gRPC extension is grpc.

  e.g., To view the installation status of the cdc-oracle extension (which is partially installed by default), issue the following command:

  • For Windows : extension-installer.bat list cdc-oracle
  • For Linux/MacOS : ./extension-installer.sh list cdc-oracle

  The sample response is as follows.

  

Installing Siddhi Extensions

Installing all extensions required for currently deployed Siddhi applications

If the Siddhi applications deployed in your ESB Streaming Integrator setup use Siddhi extensions that are not currently installed, you can automatically install all those extensions at once. To do this, issue the appropriate command out of the following based on your operating system.

• For Windows : extension-installer.bat install
• For Linux/MacOS : ./extension-installer.sh install

e.g., If a Siddhi application that is currently deployed in your ESB Streaming Integrator setup uses the Amazon S3 extension, and if this extension is not already installed, you can issue the command given above. As a result, the following message appears in the terminal informing you of extensions that are used in Siddhi applications, but not installed. It also prompts you to specify whether you want to install them.

If you enter y to specify that you want to proceed with the installation, the following message appears to inform you of the status of the installation and to prompt you to restart the ESB Streaming Integrator server once the installation is complete.

Installing a specific Siddhi extension

If you want to install a specific Siddhi extension, issue the appropriate command out of the following based on your operating system.

• For Windows : extension-installer.bat install <EXTENSION_NAME>
• For Linux/MacOS : ./extension-installer.sh install <EXTENSION_NAME>

Info

Here, the <EXTENSION_NAME> refers to the name of the extension. When you use the command line to view the list of extensions that are currently installed or to view the installation status of all the supported Siddhi extensions, the extension names are displayed in the name column.

e.g., The extension name of the gRPC extension is grpc.

e.g., To install the grpc Siddhi extension, issue the following command.

• For Windows : extension-installer.bat install grpc
• For Linux/MacOS : ./extension-installer.sh install grpc

The following message appears to inform you of the status of the installation and to prompt you to restart the ESB Streaming Integrator server once the installation is complete.

Uninstalling Siddhi Extensions

To uninstall a specific Siddhi application, issue the appropriate command out of the following based on your operating system.

• For Windows : extension-installer.bat uninstall <EXTENSION_NAME>
• For Linux/MacOS : ./extension-installer.sh uninstall <EXTENSION_NAME>

Info

Here, the <EXTENSION_NAME> refers to the name of the extension. When you use the command line to view the list of extensions that are currently installed or to view the installation status of all the supported Siddhi extensions, the extension names are displayed in the name column.

e.g., The extension name of the gRPC extension is grpc.

e.g., To uninstall the grpc Siddhi extension, issue the following command.

• For Windows : extension-installer.bat uninstall grpc
• For Linux/MacOS : ./extension-installer.sh uninstall grpc

A message appears to inform you of any other extension that shares dependencies with the extension being uninstalled. The message also prompts you to confirm whether you want to proceed with the installation or not.

If you enter y and proceed with the uninstallation, the following log appears to inform you of the progress of the uninstallation and then prompt you to restart the Streaming Integrator server once the uninstallation is complete.
