🔄 Real-time Streaming Guide

Stream Command

Analyze data from stdin in real-time with windowed DTW analysis:

npx midstreamer stream [options]

Options:

• --window <n> - Window size for analysis (default: 100)
• --slide <n> - Sliding step between windows (default: 10)
• --reference <seq> - Reference sequence for comparison and anomaly detection
• --format json|text - Output format (default: text)
• --interval <ms> - Output update interval (default: 1000ms)
• --verbose - Show detailed drift metrics

How it works:

1. Reads data from stdin (numbers separated by spaces, commas, or newlines)
2. Maintains a sliding window buffer of specified size
3. Analyzes each window using DTW when enough samples accumulate
4. Compares against reference sequence (if provided) to detect anomalies
5. Tracks drift by comparing consecutive windows
6. Outputs statistics and alerts in real-time

Watch Command

Monitor files for new data and analyze continuously:

npx midstreamer watch <file> [options]

Use cases:

• Log file monitoring with pattern detection
• Sensor data file analysis
• Real-time metrics from appended data
• Continuous quality control monitoring

Streaming Examples

  if [ $((i % 20)) -eq 0 ]; then
    echo $((RANDOM % 100 + 50))  # Anomaly spike
  else
    echo $((RANDOM % 5 + 20))     # Normal range
  fi
  sleep 0.1

Performance & Memory

Streaming Performance:

• Window size 50: ~2000 samples/sec
• Window size 100: ~1000 samples/sec
• Window size 500: ~200 samples/sec

Memory Usage:

• Constant O(window_size) memory
• Buffer size = 2 × window_size
• Scales to infinite streams

Latency:

• Window analysis: < 10ms
• Output interval: configurable (default 1s)
• File watch: ~50ms detection delay

Tips & Best Practices

Window Size Selection:

• Small (10-50): Fast updates, less context, good for rapid changes
• Medium (50-200): Balanced performance and pattern detection
• Large (200-1000): Deep patterns, slower updates, better for trends

Slide Size:

• Small slide (1-5): Smooth updates, higher CPU usage
• Medium slide (10-20): Good balance
• Large slide (50+): Less frequent analysis, lower CPU

Anomaly Detection:

• Set reference sequence to "normal" baseline behavior
• Adjust window size to capture full pattern cycles
• Use verbose mode to see drift metrics
• Similarity < 50% triggers anomaly alert

Performance Optimization:

• Increase --interval to reduce output frequency
• Larger --slide reduces computation overhead
• Use --format json for programmatic integration
• Pipe to jq for JSON filtering and formatting

└─────────────────┘

Memory Model

The streaming analyzer uses a constant-memory sliding window:

Buffer: [──────────|──────────]
         Previous    Current
         Window      Window
         (size N)    (size N)

Total memory: O(2N) - constant regardless of stream length

Key Features:

• No memory growth over time (fixed buffer)
• Handles infinite streams
• Self-comparison for drift detection
• Reference comparison for anomaly detection

Processing Pipeline

1. Sample Ingestion: Parse incoming data (space/comma/newline separated)
2. Buffer Management: Maintain 2× window size circular buffer
3. Window Triggering: Analyze when slide size threshold reached
4. DTW Analysis: Compare current window against reference/previous
5. Statistics: Calculate mean, std, min, max for window
6. Output Generation: Format and emit results at configured interval

Comparison Modes

Reference Comparison (Anomaly Detection):

// Compare each window against fixed reference
DTW(current_window, reference_sequence)
→ similarity score
→ anomaly = similarity < threshold

Drift Detection (Change Tracking):

// Compare consecutive windows
DTW(current_window, previous_window)
→ drift score
→ measures how fast data is changing

Statistical Monitoring:

// Window statistics
{
  mean: average of values,
  std: standard deviation,
  min/max: range
}

🤖 AgentDB Integration

Midstreamer seamlessly integrates with AgentDB to add powerful semantic memory, adaptive learning, and multi-agent coordination capabilities.

Quick Start with AgentDB

# Install both packages
npm install midstreamer agentdb

# Or use CLI directly
npx midstreamer agentdb-store sensor.csv --namespace production
npx midstreamer agentdb-search "45,50,55,60" --limit 5
npx midstreamer agentdb-tune --auto --interval 5000

Integration Features

1. Semantic Pattern Storage - 96-164× Faster Search

import { TemporalCompare } from 'midstreamer/pkg-node/midstream_wasm';
import { createDatabase, EmbeddingService } from 'agentdb';
import { EmbeddingBridge } from './agentdb-integration/embedding-bridge';

// Initialize
const temporal = new TemporalCompare(100);
const db = await createDatabase(':memory:');
const bridge = await EmbeddingBridge.create(temporal, db);

// Convert temporal sequences to vector embeddings
const sequence = [1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0];
const embedding = await bridge.embedSequence(sequence, { method: 'hybrid' });

// Store pattern with metadata
const patternId = await bridge.storePattern(embedding, {
  timestamp: Date.now(),
  domain: 'sensor-data',
  tags: ['production', 'temperature']
});

// Search for similar patterns (HNSW indexing)
const similar = await bridge.findSimilarPatterns(embedding, {
  limit: 10,
  threshold: 0.8
});
console.log(`Found ${similar.length} similar patterns`);

2. Adaptive Parameter Tuning - Auto-Optimization with RL

import { LearningSystem } from 'agentdb';
import { AdaptiveLearningEngine } from './agentdb-integration/adaptive-learning-engine';

// Initialize RL-based optimizer
const learning = new LearningSystem(db, new EmbeddingService());
const engine = new AdaptiveLearningEngine(learning);

await engine.initializeAgent('actor-critic', {
  dimensions: 20,
  bounds: { windowSize: [10, 500], threshold: [0.5, 2.0] }
});

// Auto-tune streaming parameters
await engine.enableAutoTuning(5000, async (optimizedParams) => {
  console.log('Optimized parameters:', optimizedParams);
  // Apply to StreamAnalyzer
  streamAnalyzer.updateParams(optimizedParams);
});

// Result: 15-20% performance improvement over static parameters

3. Memory-Augmented Anomaly Detection

// Detect anomalies with historical context
const isAnomaly = await bridge.isAnomalous(currentSequence, {
  useHistory: true,
  confidenceThreshold: 0.9
});

if (isAnomaly.confidence > 0.9) {
  console.log('⚠️ ANOMALY DETECTED');
  console.log(`Confidence: ${isAnomaly.confidence * 100}%`);
  console.log(`Similar patterns: ${isAnomaly.similarPatterns.length}`);
  console.log(`Explanation: ${isAnomaly.explanation}`);
}

// Result: 50% reduction in false positives

4. CLI Integration

# Store patterns from streaming data
tail -f /var/log/sensor.log | npx midstreamer stream --window 50 \
  | npx midstreamer agentdb-store --namespace sensors
