At Aker BP we are currently using the Cognite file extractor, and have some bugs and improvement points to report. Some of the bugs here are a big concern for us using the extractor going forward:1. Missing‑as‑Deleted Flag Does Not Work as DocumentedWhen missing-as-deleted: true and delete-behavior: hard are configured, the extractor does not delete files that are absent from the source query. This contradicts the documented behaviour and makes it impossible to rely on the extractor to keep target datasets clean. Because the executable is closed‑source, the root cause is unclear. From a developer who configures the file extractor: This bug went undiscovered for some time because the previous extractor had to be replaced, and has different behavior from the new file extractor on full loads. (This seems to be a bug in the new extractor.) The previous deprecated Documentum Extractor would delete all files that it did not upload for that specific extraction. This also caused issues in the

I have a problem with retreiving data with the Python SDK. In a time series I have a data point for 2026-03-11 13:45:00 with the value “0.0”. If I retrieve it without any aggregation, it is (as it should be) “0.0”. If I retrieve it aggregated to a 15min resolution with “average” aggregation, it becomes “0.5”. Both “max” and “min” aggregations however give “0.0” - as should be expected. So there seems to be something off with the “average” aggregation. See screenshot for the case:  Is this a known behaviour?

Hi everyone!Finding an asset is one thing; understanding its surroundings is another. In the upcoming release on the 3rd of March, we’ve upgraded the 3D Experience in Search to give you instant spatial context without leaving your search results.What’s New?In-Preview Scenes & 360-images: View 3D scenes and 360-degree images directly in the search preview pane. Seamless Transitions: Move from a search preview to the unified 3D world while staying immersed in your 360-degree view. Direct Access: Launch full Scenes immediately from the preview card.See your asset in it’s full real-world context byviewing your 3D Scenes in Search⚡ Quick Start:Prepare - Ensure you are using Scenes for 3D and that they are connected to your Location Search for an asset or location in CDF. Preview the result to see the 3D scene load automatically. Explore by opening the unified 3D view for full immersion.The preview also supports fully interactive 360 images Pro Tip 💡: Opening the full 3D view from a 360

The MQTT hosted extractor is erroring out and showing the following message: Internal database error: Session has expired: Session was not foundI’ve tried pausing and resuming the extractor, and modifying the configured sink, without success.

Button to close window disappears when browser window is too small. It is quite inconvienient that the “close” button is one that disappears. Is this by design or a UI bug?

Hi everyone, At Cognite, we strive to ensure that every tool in the Cognite Data Fusion workspace meets our high standards for security, performance, and user experience.The Image and Video Management interface (found under the Data Management workspace) has reached a stage where it can no longer be maintained to those standards. To focus our efforts on more robust, integrated data exploration tools, we are initiating a 12-month deprecation period for this specific interface. This means that the Image and Video Management interface will be deprecated on 17 February 2027.What is changing?The standalone Image and Video Management app is entering its sunset phase. This includes: The specialized Map view for finding image and video data. The Annotation tool for images. The integrated Video streaming/viewing interface within this specific app. Note: This deprecation only affects the management interface. Your raw image and video files stored in CDF remain safe and accessible via the API

Hello, I was playing with this project (https://github.com/blurrah/mcp-graphql) and created an MCP server on top of a test CDF data model. You can then use an LLM that supports MCP clients to register your server and have the help of the LLM to analyse your data :) Here I used Claude desktop for example:  ​​​​​​This is a great way if we want to integrate CDF data models with in-house or local LLM models.Do you plan to release an official MCP server for CDF data models? Thank you,

Hi, I’m Enikö Farkas from Cognite. With my team, we create e-learning for Cognite Academy. In our courses, we put a lot of emphasis on providing hands-on experiences so you can learn to use Cognite Data Fusion through interacting with real industrial data.In most of our courses, the training data we use comes from the Open Industrial Data (OID) project which is the result of a collaboration between Aker BP, one of Europe’s largest independent oil companies, and Cognite. While the data is from the oil and gas industry, its relevance is much broader: it gives us insight into dynamic industrial processes and can inspire all industries.In this article, I’m excited to share more about this project.About the dataThe data originates from a single compressor on Aker BP’s Valhall oil platform in the North Sea. Aker BP selected the first stage compressor on the Valhall because it is a subsystem with clearly defined boundaries, rich in time series and maintenance data.AkerBP uses Cognite Data Fus

Cognite documentation powers human and agent workflows with new AI functionalityCognite now offers several ways to bring our official CDF product documentation into your AI-powered workflows.A docs MCP server for live documentation access in your IDE.  SKILL.md capability files so AI assistants understand what Cognite Data Fusion (CDF) can do. An integrated experience on docs.cognite.com that includes an AI assistant that answers questions and cites sources, plus one-click options to send any page to Cursor, VS Code, ChatGPT, or Claude.To use the MCP server and the SKILL.md file, you'll need a compatible AI-powered IDE or assistant (for example, Cursor, Claude, Windsurf, or VS Code with Copilot). To install the SKILL.md file with the skills CLI, you also need Node.js. Docs MCP server: live documentation in your IDEThe Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI assistants securely access external data and tools. Cognite's docs MCP server gives your IDE live access to

 Dears,Would you please advise how can we hide specific layers (for ex. the crane) in the 3D model and then to save the updated or customised revision?is the revision editing for 3D models doable inside CDF itself or there is a specific workflow needed for it, as you can see it the snapshot below: Thank you! Fatima 

Hi everyone!We know that for an end-user, finding data shouldn't feel like a "needle in a haystack" mission. Last summer, we launched Per-Project Search Configuration, and if you haven't set it up yet, your team might be missing out on a much cleaner experience.As a Project Admin, you can curate what your users see when they sign in to Search. Instead of a generic view of data that maps 1:1 to your detailed data model definition, you can hand-deliver the most relevant data. Why configure your categories? Instant clarity: Define exactly which columns appear first. No more side-scrolling to find the "Status" or "ID." Relevant filtering: Hide the noise. Display only the filters that actually matter for that specific category. Context at a glance: Tailor the "Properties" card so the most crucial metadata is front and center. Quick guide: Check access: Ensure you have appconfig:read/write and app-scope = Search. Your users also need appconfig:read to make the config take effect for them

On the platform, when we have more than one annotation on a file, if they are very close to each other (overlapping by a pixel or two), the platform shows the overlapping box so we can select the correct annotation.I understand this as a bug.See the images below:The tags PB2885C and XA2885C are very close to each other. The overlap between them is barely noticeable.However, when you click on either one, both tags appear in the overlapping box:I’ve seen this happen every time we have annotations that are very close to each other.For a better user experience, it would be ideal if, at the moment of the click, the platform could understand that only one annotation is actually inside the click area.This would prevent the overlapping box from appearing and would solve the issue.Is this something we can have fixed?
