I want to use websocket as an input source

[Maingol]

I want to use websocket as an input source, I have read your documentation, and according to its operation, I can add a websocket type source configuration group through the api, but when I try to edit it, has been prompted by the lack of related plug-ins, but your plug-ins to download the entrance and does not provide a websocket connection, too many related bugs! I'm not sure if you really intend to support websocket input sources, or if I'm not using it in the right way, can you provide me with detailed steps to realize this requirement?

Hi @Maingol

How did you create websocket stream and the related rules? Did you create it with manager-ui. If so, the manager-ui isn't maintained now thus it may happened the unexpected bug. Please create stream/rules by rest api according to the documents:
https://ekuiper.org/docs/en/latest/api/restapi/streams.html

The introduction is too vague, what exactly do I have to do, can one api do it? Can an API specify both the stream creation and the websocket address? How do I specify the websocket address? Do I need to add a source configuration group with the api? Can you build a simple demo on your own machine to realize the need to read data from a websocket source, and then tell me the detailed steps?

All source configurations are alike. Using confkey to refer to the config in a yaml file for that source kind. Check out mqtt source as an example https://ekuiper.org/docs/en/latest/guide/sources/builtin/mqtt.html#configurations
