Stream Analytics job diagram
A Stream Analytics job diagram is a visual map of what the job is doing. Instead of reading only a query file and metric table, you can see inputs, query steps, outputs, and sometimes physical streaming nodes on one canvas. It is especially helpful when a job runs but produces no results, late results, or results that look wrong. The diagram gives developers and operators a faster way to narrow the problem before rewriting the query or scaling blindly.
