Hi team, We are facing an issue while uploading a file to CDF using smb yaml configurations using File Extractor, please find the error below.2023-10-05 12:38:42.043 UTC [ERROR   ] MainThread - Could not upload file xxx.pdf to CDF: [Error 1] [NtStatus 0xc0000043] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process: xxx.pdf'How can we fix this issue as many users might be using file share in different locations at the same time while uploading it will be difficult to know? 

Hello Cognite team, Greetings! Below is a screen shot of 4 data points available for a specific timeseries id in a duration of 1 hour For the above mentioned data points when i select the aggregate function (similar value being resulted from aggregate function api) i see an average value which is significantly higher than the original value (calculated manually) The data interval for the below points is for every 15 mins the first 4 data points for this timeseries is what you see in the below screen shot  

New to Cognite.Can anyone help on this:We have CSV files uploaded into CDF dataset (thru’ FileExtractor), and now need to read and parse the csv files contents in the CDF into TimeSeries? And how to run it automatically or scheduled?Thank a lots.​​​​​

Hi Cognite Team,Is there any document which can show , how to fetch confidential information from private end point key vault  on Microsoft azure key vault. 

Hello,We have off late moved from Rest calls to SDK and post that we have started seeing the below errorError generating access token: invalid_request, 400, too many calls What is recommended for this type of error ? Can’t we add a exponential delay at sdk side ?Also it would be important for us to know that this error is given after how many calls ? 

How to load data from Alteryx (ETL tool) to CDF Raw Database? I don’t see any connector in Alteryx for connecting to CDF. 

I am getting below error while executing Documentum Extractor. FATAL: Invalid YAML file: Both database and table must be set when metadata destination is RAWcom.cognite.connector.dctm.config.InvalidConfigException: Invalid YAML file: Both database and table must be set when metadata destination is RAW. I have gone through the cognite documentation for possible configuration, it is not mentioned in the documentation. There is no parameter for metadata_destination, database, table. Please help me with details, from where we can get this parameter info? or how can I configure it in YAML? Please find my config.yaml file contents as below: version: 1logger:    console:        level: INFOcognite:    # Read these from environment variables    host: #${COGNITE_BASE_URL}    project: #${COGNITE_PROJECT}    idp-authentication:        # token-url: ${COGNITE_TOKEN_URL}

Dear Cognite Community,I hope this message finds you well. Firstly, I'd like to acknowledge that I've been asking quite a few questions lately, and I sincerely appreciate the time and effort many of you have invested in guiding me. This community has evolved into a mentorship hub for me, and for that, I'm deeply grateful. :)I've been working extensively with Cognite Charts to visualize my time-series data and have been greatly impressed by its capabilities. However, I have a couple of specific needs that I'd like to discuss, and I was hoping to get some insights from the experts in this community.Dynamic Visualization of Actual vs. Predicted Model:I'm looking for a way to dynamically visualize my actual data against the predicted model within Cognite Charts. I came across Data Point Subscriptions as a potentially relevant feature. While the documented use-cases don't exactly match my needs, they seem to be the closest match. Would this feature be applicab

As Cognite provides APIs to access RAW tables from database, is there any way to get the actual datatype (text/bool/timestamp etc.) of the table’s column.

Hi community!Monitoring asset health, performing root cause analysis, and doing on-the-fly troubleshooting can be a complex process for both seasoned experts and new engineers. In this video I'll be sharing some tips on how to gather and analyze data efficiently, which we believe will boost your confidence in managing asset health.I'd love to hear your thoughts and encourage you to share your experiences and insights to help improve our asset health program.Cheers,Andreea.  

Have you already tried and used the latest features released in our Industrial Canvas? We would like to hear your feedback! 🙌Here is the full list of features and how you can use them:Managing your canvasCanvas visibility can now be set to either private or public. By default, when you create a canvas, it will be “marked” as private. You can change it to public by using the Share option while in the canvas. View live datapoints signalled with traffic lights based on basic rulesPin time series connected to assets in engineering diagrams and visualize their “live” values (the latest value is refreshed every 30s). Add simple rules on these values. For example “if the temperature is higher than 30°C, show the tag in colour red”.

Hi I received a few P&ID diagram where the tags aren’t spelled out in-place (because the space perhaps was limiting), but just an indexed number is given. And in a separate table, the index is mapped with the tag name.Please see that attached image which can provide further illustration. I am not sure if the OCR + contextualization logic can map the index out and place the tag at the correct place. I am thinking it is unlikely. In such case, can you please provide clues on how one can map it - some amount of manual steps and tweaks, if expected, are fine. Thanks for your inputs! 

Hi Team, We are working on the Cognite Pi Extractor to fetch the data from OSIsoft PI Data Archive. From the documentation we understood that we can use the OSIsoft PI Web API or PI SDK to retrieve the data we need from OSIsoft PI Server. But it is not specifically mentioned in Cognite PI Extractor's documentation that which method it is internally using. Is it using PI SDK or PI AF SDK or PI Web API?

Hi team,I have a Honeywell PHD source system. I have a got a suggestion to use Cognite OPC Classic Extractor. But I can see Extractor suggested is beta version. Can I know, it is efficient to use the Cognite OPC Classic Extractor, or we should go with custom extractor.If we use ,Cognite OPC Classic Extractor it connects over COM+ or DCOM to OPC servers and streams live and historical data into CDF. Can you please elaborate on COM+COM+ or DCOM connectivity to OPC Servers. How to connect with Honeywell PHD server using either of the ways?    Thanks

Hello,I’m trying to publish a new version of an existing data model and I’m receiving this error message:containers must be unique across space and externalId, regardless of caseCan you please help me with some details regarding where to look here?Thanks,Regards,

I am trying to establish Parent-Child relationships between two types of events ingested and transformed in CDF which are Workorders and Maintenance Notifications. I have two different datasets for each where the Raw data is staged and have also given corresponding labels (Work_order, Notification) for dataset and later these workorders and Maintenance notifications are linked to Assets in CDF using transformations. Now I need to establish the relationship between the workorders and Maintenance notifications. Although I went through the Documentation for relationship ( Relationships | Cognite Documentation) not able to get the hold of it. Any reference SQL for how relationships are established would also do.

Hello esteemed members of the Cognite community,I come to you with a sense of urgency and a deep need for expert guidance. I've been attempting to familiarize myself with Cognite for the last six months, and despite my best efforts, I find myself at an impasse with some critical aspects. My situation is time-sensitive, and I am truly hoping for your assistance to navigate this complex but fascinating journey.My Setup:Environment: Google Colab (Free version)SDK: Cognite Python SDKAssets: Wind Farm with two sub-assets (Asset A and Asset B)My Goals:Connect to Cognite Project via Python SDK: I need to use my client ID and client secret to establish a connection from Google Colab.Create Hierarchical Assets: My aim is to create a parent asset, named "Wind Farm," and within this parent asset, include two child assets, Asset A and A

We are currently exploring potential use cases with our team, and one of them involves implementing data quality techniques. I was wondering if anyone could share their experience in order to identify the best approach within the Cognite Platform for conducting data quality checks to ensure that all fields in critical tables are populated correctly.In the past, we have implemented a similar solution with a different vendor, utilizing a system that can prevent the flow of erroneous data through our data pipelines by employing validation and integrity checks based on declarative quality expectations.Thank you in advance.

List Projects API (https://{cluster}.cognitedata.com/api/v1/projects) - no corresponding way to use this from Python SDK.Is there any specific reason why this method to get the CDF Projects is not available in python sdk.If it is present I was not able to find it in the documentation. https://cognite-sdk-python.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/latest

We want to extract data from Bentley AssetWise APM. Can Cognite OPC UA Extractor be used for this use case? If yes, how? If no, which Extractor from Cognite’s prebuilt extractors is suitable for this?

In the below example, suppose “Heating cable” needs to be deleted. How can this be achieved? If “Heating cable” needs to be renamed like “Heating-Cable”, how can this be achieved? If “Heating Cable” needs to move from Pump_A to Pump_B, how can this be achieved? SYSTEM 11└───Pump (Pump_A)│   └───Heating cable└───Pump (Pump_B)

I am trying to connect to an MQTT broker with Cognite’s MQTT Extractor.I know that the broker is fully functional, verified by several tools.However, when completing the “Add MQTT Topic”.Error code indicates that the API does not accept “Datapoints” as “Target type”, even though “Target type” is a mandatory field in the interface window. And: “Datapoints” is the only available selection.Any quick feedback to progress my testing is appreaciated!
