 Data providers can use analysis modules, but they don't have to. For example, you can implement a data provider that gets the event statistics for the whole trace by reading all the events of a trace. See [Creating a Data Tree Data Provider](#creating-a-data-tree-data-provider) for an example.

+### Implementing a configurable data provider
 
 Defining data providers statically as described in the previous chapters is not always flexible enough for user's needs. It's often required to create derived data providers from an existing data provider or data providers based on some configuration parameters. For example, it might be interesting to derive a CPU usage data provider from the original CPU usage data provider, that shows the CPU usage for a given CPU only. Another use case is to derive a virtual table data provider from the events table data provider, that shows only trace events with a certain event type.

 The interface to implement is `ITmfConfigurationSourceType`. You can use the `TmfConfigurationSourceType.Builder` class to build such type. It has name, description, unique ID, an optional JSON schema file or a list of simple `TmfConfigurationParameter` instances. Use schema as much as you can. The schema will describe the JSON parameters, that `ITmfConfiguration.getParameters()` will return when passed to the configurator.
