Miguel Gaspar

Miguel Gaspar started working at Webdetails about 3 years ago, some time before the acquisition of Webdetails by Pentaho. He was a consultant in the Implementation team and his work involved developing dashboard solutions as part of services. He is now acting as the technical owner of some of the Implementations projects as part of the Webdetails team in Pentaho. He likes to be as professional as possible, but in an informal way. One of his favorite hobbies is learning and his particular areas of interest are: business analytics, predictive analysis and big data, augmented reality, and cloud computing. He likes to play and is a huge martial arts fan and also one of the worst soccer players ever. He is married and a parent of two young and lovely daughters, who would like to spend more time playing like crazies with him. He also likes to spend time with friends or just having a drink and a good talk with someone else, if possible with his family at his side. He really hates liars.

Understanding the basics of a CDF dashboard

We have already mentioned that CDF will work on the browser as a HTML page that will make use of the JavaScript and CSS languages, frameworks, and libraries.

But how does CDF really work? When we are making a request to the Pentaho platform to get a dashboard, we make a request to a Pentaho plugin. That request is done through the Web API that the plugin is providing on the server side. This server-side code is written in Java, and by reading the dashboard's files, will send the HTML and JavaScript code to the browser for the execution of the dashboard on the client side (the browser). This code will include some scripts that are mandatory so that the plugins can execute themselves in the browser. The number of libraries may vary depending on the components included. The following image is a really simple diagram that should give you a clear understanding of how the requests to get the dashboards are handled:

Ever wonder why speech recognition systems don't understand the Scottish accent, or what would happen if an astronaut only ate mac 'n' cheese, or other spurious reflections you'd have at a bar?
