I am just playing with the analysis of open industrial data (mostly time series IoT sensor data). It is my understanding that encoders play a role in detecting anomalies in the data. Can decoder only models such as Lag-Llama, TimesFM, Moirai detect anomalies or they can only predict? thank you.

Hello team, I am bulding an application using the methods in cognite python sdk.I want to create dropdowns for metadata and the values for the same. This similar to the filters on the data explorer screen in the fusion UI:I could not find a direct SDK method to do so.Could you please guide me on how can I achieve that?

Hello All! As this is my first time writing, I will do a quick introduction. My name is Patrick Mishima, and I am one of the Cognite Product Specialists. My main specialization is data integration and governance. I've worked with data since 2011 with different roles, projects, and job titles all related to data management. I also have experience with various ETL and BI tools, mainly from Microsoft and SAP and a few others.I lead the Product Specialists team, and we'll soon have more articles to share our knowledge and experience with you.Today and in my following articles, I will focus on the different options that Microsoft Azure and Cognite offer on data integration between our platforms and tools. But first, let's talk about a few essential and fundamental points when working with cloud providers. Using a cloud provider, most of the time, we think about saving on infrastructure costs. That is indeed true, but it's not the only truth. When you decide to move to a cloud provider, you

I have got postman connected to the publicdata project using the details below:Environmenttenant-id: 48d5043c-cf70-4c49-881c-c638f5796997 baseUrl: https://api.cognitedata.com project: publicdata cluster: apiAuth token:callbackUrl: https://postman.cogniteapp.com/loggedin authUrl: https://login.microsoftonline.com/{{tenant-id}}/oauth2/v2.0/authorize clientId: https://postman.cogniteapp.com Scope: https://{{cluster}}.cognitedata.com/.defaultI sign in with the credentials I used to sign up in the Cognite Academy, which I understand means they are added to the Azure AD for the publicdata project.I can access some of the api endpoints via Postman so the authentication is working but I get a 403 unauthorised when I try to list all Assets. Am I meant to be able to see the assets in Postman with this setup? Thanks in advance, Andy

I want to visualize some data from the API directly in Power BI. For instance, I want to display data about extraction pipelines https://api-docs.cognite.com/20230101/tag/Extraction-Pipelines/operation/listExtPipes. How can I use the CDF API as a data source in Power BI and input my credentials there in the correct way? Thank you! 

Across multiple javascript projects, we use the @cognite/sdk. We observe some strange behaviour when it comes to authentication and see the Chrome network panel full of HTTP 401 calls. When debugging the issue, we see that the getToken method supplied to the CogniteClient class only gets called some times. And when it does, the code on our part successfully retrieves a valid token. This leads to some unwanted behaviour and the user sometimes needs to refresh the browser in order to correct the browser state.I suspect the fact that we make a new instance of CogniteClient everytime we use it could be the culprit. I read from the source code baseCogniteClient.ts that the getToken function is not called each time in order to “To prevent calling `getToken` method multiple times in parallel”. Not that I am really able to follow this behaviour over multiple instances of the client.Any pointers as to what might cause this problem?const getToken = async () => {  // this code only hits some t

Hello,I am trying to understand the difference between Sequences and Events to see what is pertinent for me in a specific use case. For me, both of them allow saving a native CDF object along with a timestamp, enriched with other data. I feel like we can also achieve the same goal by making a data model with timestamps in one column and all the properties we are interested in, in other columns;  though this approach would be harder because it would necessitate using pygen for input output. In my company, we work on Industrial processing lines. At any given moment, a line is operating under a set of conditions, defined by a fixed set of set points, like ‘conveyor speed’ and various temperatures. Let us call the set points a, b, c etc. For set points a, b and c, we have measured values i, j and k.To assess whether the machine is operating normally, we want to compare the aggregated measurements (i-j-k) taken during a period when the set points are a-b-c with a previous instance when the

Hello Cognite experts, I trying to find our some reference material to explore regarding integrating data from RTSP in Cognite. Are there any workflows/POC/documentation/examples available for this data source? 

Hello,Is it possible to host a pickle file (which contains a ML model) in CDF and use it to make predictions for the available data in the platform?If yes, what are the steps ? I browsed the documentation but I haven’t found anything relevant

In some AI demos built on top of Cognite, our approach to real-time inference involves retrieving the latest time series values for the equipment. Since our machine learning models are deployed and running on a cluster outside Cognite, we leverage the SDK to handle real-time inference by retrieving the most recent data as follows:real_time_data_bomb_hfx = cdf_client.time_series.retrieve_latest(id="bomt_hfx_time_series_id")Is anyone working with a different approach to send new data for inference to their machine learning models? I'd be interested in hearing how others are managing this process.We are also exploring more resilient approaches, such as: Streaming Data for Real-Time Inference (Event-Driven Approach): We plan to test Cognite's Kafka extractor as soon as possible to enable more seamless streaming. On-Demand Inference via API: While this approach is synchronous, which has caused challenges for us in the past, we prefer to avoid this method and lean toward more asynchronous

I am making comparisons between time series data in CDF and PI. The reason is that in our tenants the CDF data is not 100% accurate compared to PI.However, from my testing I think that PI performs its aggregations with the timestamps “centered” at the aggregated time periods, while CDF puts the timestamps at the start of each aggregated period. Is it possible to specify how this is done with the Python API? From my study of the docs it appears not to be the case. The same applies to the PI Web API as well: I cannot specify how the timestamps are placed. The agreement with PI becomes significantly better if I place the CDF timestamps at the center of the aggregated time periods.My current workaround is the following:Fetch RAW data from CDF Shift the timestamps by 0.5x of the granularity Resample to the desired granularity Compute mean Interplate any missing valuesThe issue is that fetching raw data is a lot more time consuming than fetching aggregates. I have been playing with fetching

Hi,I am running parallel tasks(Cognite functions) in Cognite workflows. One of the task is creating table in Raw db, where as other one is deleting the table. Whatever table is create, its name is passed as input to other function deleting it.First attempt I ran 150 parallel tasks in a 10 workflows(each 15 tasks). One table was not deleted from raw db  In second attempt I ran 200 parallel task in 10 workflows(each 20 tasks). In this case 8 tables were not deleted from rawI was not able to debug why those table not get deleted. As the delete function status was showing ‘Completed’ on Cognite UI.Can you please help why this tables are not getting deleted? If there is a limit of parallel task execution then how to exceed this limit? And how to debug this scenario where there is no function execution failure?Attaching the test workflow for reference. Run workflow-deploy-job.py file to deploy workflow on cognite project. Edit functions.json and workflow-deploy-job.py files for replacing cog

Hey Guys, I would like to know when will be possible download the Canvas Page.

Hi all.We’re working on defining KPIs to track our digitalization journey, and think that a KPI on the use and adoption of CDF as opposed to “the old way of doing things” would be useful. I’m posting here in an attempt to hear if the CDF customer community can provide inspiration for how to ensure success and good adoption of CDF among users. Does anyone have thoughts to share on their own metrics for CDF usage?My thoughts so far are tracking the number of unique users logging in to Fusion/Charts, number of API calls against CDF, etc. Although I have not found any direct way as a customer to obtain this information. The Sessions API endpoint could possibly be a place to start?And as a follow-up question; CDF usage in itself is a quite indirect metric on the digital maturity of the business, and on acheived value. My ideal goal would be to find a more direct higher level metric for the entire company, which is not as indirect as user log-ins, and also not as narrow as value obtained for

Hey.I am trying to set up a monitoring job in Cognite Charts, with notifications sent to an Microsoft Teams Channel Email. It looks like the email would not be recognized as an valid email.I got this error: “You should select a user or write a valid email address”The email format is xxxx..onmicrosoft.com@emea.teams.ms Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

Can someone tell me about this. if i Want to keep OPC UA realtime data into cdf RAW using opc ua extractor?

We're excited to announce the first bootcamp following a major update! This version now includes the powerful CDF Toolkit. About the CDF BootcampThe Cognite Data Fusion Bootcamp is an instructor-led, 4-5 days course that guides participants through a hands-on example to develop production-ready solutions with Cognite Data Fusion (CDF). While it is possible to grant access and ingest, transform, and contextualize data manually in CDF through the User Interface, creating a proper CI/CD pipeline that allows the development team to promote the project through different environments (e.g. test & prod) is essential in creating a production-ready solution. With the introduction of the CDF Toolkit, it is now possible to replace different types of CLIs with one command-line tool to configure and administer Cognite Data Fusion (CDF) projects. The Toolkit also includes pre-built templates to help you quickly start your CDF project.The Bootcamp has been developed by CDF and DataOps experts and

Hi,I have defined a Data model with two Views, say Employee and Address, both of this do not have any relationship.For instances in Employee and Address view I have kept externalIds same, say emp101, emp102,... for both view instances.EmployeeextrenalId Name Age emp101 Tom 30 emp102 Harry 28  AddressexternalId City Pincode emp101 Pune 123 emp102 Mumbai 456  I am using cognite sdk sync api call to synchronize instances of Employee view.There is one Transformation on Address to update all the pincode values.After running transformation, when sync api is called it always return all the values of Employee instances even if they are not updated. Is there any resolution to this unexpected behavior?  

Is there currently a best practice for adding a geographical location to an object in a data model?I’ve considered simply using a string property to my model containing wkt-formatted strings, or a GeoSpatial feature external id, but none of them seem ideal. I assume there is a size limit on strings - so that wkt might be a bad choice? We’ve previously discussed this for timeseries, where you mentioned that data model geolocation was on the roadmap. Any update on this? 😊
