I have a data model and would like to retrieve or list nodes from a specific view. Specifically, I want to list nodes that have been created or updated, for instance in the last 30 days,  using Pygen.I understand that Pygen provides filtering capabilities to filter based on view properties or columns. However, I don't see a way to filter by the updated date, which is a column automatically created under the data_record column when inserting new nodes with Pygen. It seems Pygen doesn’t expose this field as a filter parameter.Is there a way to apply a filter on data_record.updated_date using Pygen?

The new CDF Power BI REST connector has been certified by Microsoft and is now included in the latest Power BI desktop version and deployed in the Power BI online service.What's new with the Power BI REST connector:Flexible authentication: Connect Power BI with any IdP supported by CDF (the legacy OData connector only worked with Azure Entra ID) Broader data access: Fetch data from OData services (just like the legacy connector) Access data from Data Models using GraphQL Connect to any GA CDF API endpoint Significant performance boost: Up to 10x faster when using regular REST endpoints compared to fetching the same data via ODataThe connector is currently in Beta, and we're eager to hear customer feedback before promoting it to GA. The documentation for the new connector is available here, and we're working on a new set of micro learning modules in Academy based on the new connector.

Hi Just wondering if CDF extractors/connectors has a support to fetch DFOS data, say for example to measure temperature along the line. Access may perhaps be through the third party SDK or a native connector. Also interesting would be how such high frequency data can be modelled in CDF core and solution models correctly. Any pointers would be of great help!  RegardsAlex 

Hi team, I want to import some functions from util folder which is same directory of the folder in which handler.py. As files in util folder is being used by other cognite functions too, I can’t keep the files of util folder in function_folder but at the time of importing functions from files of util folder and after deploying cognite function it gives import error as  so basically structure is Repofunction_folder- file1 and handler.pyutil_folder - file2 and file 3 And I want to use methods from file 2 into handler.py and I have added __init__.py in util folder 2025-04-04T12:17+05:30 : Traceback (most recent call last): 2025-04-04T12:17+05:30 : File "/home/site/wwwroot/function/_cognite_function_entry_point.py", line 297, in import_user_module 2025-04-04T12:17+05:30 : handler = importlib.import_module(handler_module_path) 2025-04-04T12:17+05:30 : File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/importlib/__init__.py", line 127, in import_module 2025-04-04T12:17+05:30 : return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name

Hello As our industrial data evolves; we're facing challenges with schema versioning specifically when modifying / extending the properties of existing asset or time series types in Cognite Data Fusion (CDF).  🙂For instance; adding new fields or changing data types (e.g., integer to float) in metadata often breaks downstream pipelines or applications that expect the original structure. CDF doesn’t enforce a strict schema, but how do others handle backward compatibility in real-world use?😐We’ve experimented with versioned types and custom labels to signal changes, but this quickly becomes hard to manage at scale. Some of our consumers rely on fixed field names, and introducing Salesforce Developer Course breaking changes results in unexpected behaviors in the SDKs or fusion apps.😐Is there a recommended practice for managing schema evolution that preserves data integrity while enabling flexibility for growth?🤔Looking to hear how other developers are addressing this challenge—do you v

Hello, As per the docuementaiton Pygen exposes a `graphql_query` method. However, I’m not able to find it. Could you please help? version used:  cognite-pygen==1.2.1Thanks

Hello, While testing data gouvernance feature per space in the data model service, we noticed that it does work on the instance level but not on the data models level. Here are the tests conducted: Test 1:We tested giving access to users to only instances that are in a specific space but applying the following ACL :  - dataModelInstancesAcl: actions: - READ scope: spaceIdScope: { spaceIds: ['test'] }When requesting the data model, only instances in the test space are returned. ACL works on instance level. Perfect!Test 2: When applying a similar ACL on the data model level :  - dataModelsAcl: actions: - READ scope: spaceIdScope: { spaceIds: ['not_that_important_data_models'] }In this case, we notice that we get revoked access to all data models, even data model in not_that_important_data_models space.  We expected that we would be able to access only data models in not_that_important_data_models. Could you please check ?  Thanks

Hi,I would like to check whether there is any CDF Admin UI or available APIs that provide the telemetry and usage-related insights such:​​​​​ User activity logs such logins, user actions, dataset access, frequency of use API usage metering such calls made by service accounts or integrations, volume over time Application usage tracking such as which integrations/apps are active, which endpoints are being used and etc. Quota and resource usage tracking, like number of API calls, storage/compute loads. Are there any CDF admin dashboards, telemetry APIs, or audit logs available for this purpose?Please advise.  Thanks

Hi!Is there a way to enable cascading deletes for instances for both direct relations and edges? Edit: I posted in the wrong group, but i don’t think i can delete. 

In Open Industrial Data (OID), we have moved away from API keys. Open Industrial Data currently supports Open ID connect. You can check out more on how to configure OpenID Connect on Open Industrial Data.If you are planning to use OID and authenticate using client credentials flow, you will need a client secret from the app registration on the Azure Active Directory. Go to Open Industrial Data and you will observe there is a widget for generating a new client secret IDIn the drop down, you can select two options:Other: Use this if you are using Postman or Python SDK Javascript: Select this option if your app is in JavascriptOnce you click on Create client secret, this will be display just once. Make sure to save it somewhere safe.Let me know if you have any questions 🙂

I would like to know what to fill in BI to be able to connect on CDF. I tried to use  that how on the course, but gives a error to add the organization name. publicdata?tenantID=48d5043c-cf70-4c49-881c-c638f5796997

 Hello, I’m having this error while using CDF latest Spark datasource. I was only able to make it work using 2.1.10 version (com.cognite.spark.datasource:cdf-spark-datasource_2.12:2.1.10).  Could you please take a look?  Thank you ! 

Hello, We are using cdf toolkit to deploy our container, views and data models.We recently added many new views, these views are dependent. i.e: they reference each other in the properties through a source block or via implements block. Here an examples of these view dependencies:- externalId: View1 implements: [] name: View1 properties: test: container: externalId: Container1 space: some_space type: container containerPropertyIdentifier: Test name: test source: externalId: View2 space: some_space type: view version: v1 space: some_space version: v1- externalId: View2 implements: [] name: View2 properties: wow: container: externalId: Container2 space: some_space type: container containerPropertyIdentifier: Test name: wow space: some_space version: v1or - externalId: Country implements: - externalId: CountryAttributes space: '{{sp_dm_dap_knowledge_graph}}_wv'

In Cognite Academy Fundamentals : Working With CDF: Contextualize, I have followed all of the instructions several times for Entity Matching and, in all instances, get “No matches found”, so there is nothing to confirm or write to CDF.  What am I missing here?

Using PBI Desktop and Cognites Rest API Connector betaWhen configuring the GraphQL parameters of Space, Datamodel, version and queryThere is a problem when pasting a query that was copied from the Query Explorer or even notepad into the query input boxIt is truncating the query string at the first carriage return CR and or Line Feed LFIf all CR and LF are removed from the query string, it will paste properly and run properly.   

I am new bee for this mammal, to Setup the Cognite file extractor for the local file upload to CDF, how to I config the environment variable in the yaml?according to the example-local.yaml I need to read:COGNITE_BASE_URLCOGNITE_PROJECTCOGNITE_CLIENT_IDCOGNITE_TOKEN_URLCOGNITE_CLIENT_SECRETI am little confuse, should I create a .env file to have all of those environment variables in that file and put it in the same folder as the yaml config file or can I inject those variables in the configuration file itself, if so any example?  need someone lighting me up.

it says that the project is not valid and do not give me the hello world output. 

got 401 "Unauthorized" error when using Postman and also  sometimes a bad request error while I did everything  as they did in the course. please help it took a lot of time from me.

How can we configure the OPCUA data node (in string) as event in Cognite instead of timeseries (by default)?P.S. The existing OPCUA Server does not support to configure it as Event.

I m working cognite hosted rest extractor and i m not able to perform incremental load and getting Kuiper http error while making a request. Can someone explain what the key name is when we use query params for incremental load and how should value look like in json having a conditional statement to pick a constant value in first execution and last_run from context after that? (Assume we have to modify startindex and lastindex query params after first excution)

I am trying to use the CogniteSdk in c# to build my FDM model node and egde. I able to insert the node accordingly but having issue when trying to define the edge. As you can see below , to create an edge, it require the "Type" to be define. There is no error but when i check my UserDashboard model, it cannot link to my DashboardItem. Anyone know how we can insert Edge using C# SDK? FDM:type UserDashboard @view(version: "c3020ef716088a") { userId: String! createdDateTime: Timestamp lastUpdateDatetime: Timestamp dashboard: [DashboardItem]}type DashboardItem @view(version: "62c414860c7734") { userId: String! index: Int! id: Int!} UserDashboard DashboardItem 

so in the Learn to Use the Cognite Python SDK  in the data engineer course , I got stuck on the hands on test.as   in the readme file after I created a dataset and a root assets I just do not know how can I  do this section : - Read the `all_countries.csv` file as a dataframe and list all the unique regions in the world.- For each geographical region, create a corresponding CDF asset that is under the "global" root asset and is associated with the "world_info" data set.- Next, create country-level assets using the data from the CSV and link them to their corresponding region-level assets. 

I have a data model with a many to many relation between view 1 and view 2. This is modeled as an edge and stored as columnEdgeView2 in view 1 and has an edge pointing the other direction in the other view. I have been digging through the Python SDK documentation but cannot figure out how to retrieve this information. Can anyone help me with this? What I need to do is query either of the edge properties and do something similar to the instance.list of regular views. If possible, getting the columnEdgeView2 included in the result when listing instances the normal way would also work. I have tried to replicate my data model structure below.type View1 { column1: String columnEdgeView2: [View2]}type View2 { column1: String columnEdgeView1: [View1] @relation( type: { space: "space", externalId: "View1.columnEdgeView2" } direction: INWARDS )}Thank you!

Hello Team,I am trying to check like how many edges(entities in my case) are null in the view(event) is there any specific way to do so? I am trying right now sdk query api like below, but not working. Please give your insights. {    "with": {        "Event": {            "nodes": {                "filter": {                    "hasData": [                        {                            "type": "view",                            "space": "slb-pdm-dm-governed",                            "externalId": "Event",                            "version": "1_7"                        }                    ]                },                "chain_to": "destination",                "direction": "outwards"            },            "limit": 10000        },        "Event_2_entities.Entity": {            "edges": {                "from": "Event",                "direction": "outwards",                "filter": {                    "and": [                        {                            "equ

Hello, we're using pygen to generate a Full Data Model and instances. One of our containers can have multiple connections to objects in another container (see the pic below).As a result, definitions are lists of objects. It is then difficult to query data using tuples: bays = dm_client.bay.list( bay_to_line=(space, id), retrieve_connections="identifier", limit=None, ).to_pandas()We can overcome this by reading all bays with retreive_connections=”full” and then querying the data. But we would like to generate a model, where such tricks are not needed and the definitions are not a list. Is it possible? To generate a model we do this workflow:  neat.read.rdf("lines_bays.jsonld")neat.infer(max_number_of_instance=-1)neat.prepare.data_model.cdf_compliant_external_ids()neat.verify()neat.convert("dms")neat.set.data_model_id(("lin", "lines", "v1"))neat.to.cdf.data_model()neat.to.cdf.instances()
