I posted it in Github, but cross-posting here too.https://github.com/cognitedata/cognite-sdk-python/issues/2525 System information (please complete the following information):OS: Windows11 Python Version: 3.12 SDK Version: 8.Describe the bugThis code previously worked:NodeId.load_if(None)But since v8, I am getting this error:AttributeError: type object 'NodeId' has no attribute 'load_if'. Did you mean: '_load_if'?To ReproduceRunnable code reproducing the error.NodeId.load_if(None)Expected behaviorIn Cognite SDK v7 this returns None.  

Hello experts,I have a question about Cognite Functions. I know there’s a limit on the size of the input data, as discussed here : Cognite Hub and documented there : Cloud provider limitations - Cognite Docs But is there a limit on the size of the function’s output? I have one that works perfectly fine but crashes without any explicit error message when handling a large output payload (>500 KB). I’m on Azure provider.Is there any information on this? Thank you,Best regards,Pierre Rambourg edit : the initial error was on my side, but i’m still interested for output limits !

I'm experiencing an issue with the Workflows editor where the bottom toolbar buttons (zoom in, zoom out, pan to center, auto layout) stop responding in certain conditions.Steps to reproduce:1. Open Workflows in CDF2. Create or edit a workflow3. Open the right panel (e.g., click on a task/agent to configure it)4. Try clicking the zoom in/out/pan buttons in the bottom toolbar5. Observe: Buttons don't respond when right panel is close to the left toolbar6. Maximize browser window or close right panel → buttons work againExpected: Toolbar buttons should work regardless of panel positionsActual: Buttons appear to be blocked, clicks don't register when panels are close together Workaround: Maximize browser window to create space between panels before using toolbar buttonsHas anyone else experienced this? Is there a better workaround or is this a known issue?  

I have 3 Views, ViewA, ViewB & ViewC. View A has direct relations to ViewB & ViewC via properties DefectEventID & AssetId, respectively. Pagination is expected and with Instance.Query end point, looping via cursors, it is not giving results for ViewB  & ViewC, apart from the first 100 records from the first call of instances.query(query). What is the best way to populate all_ViewA_Nodes,all_ViewB_Nodes ,all_ViewC_Nodes  Pagination via multiple cursors from Instance.Query?query = dm.query.Query(            with_={                "ViewA_Nodes": dm.query.NodeResultSetExpression(                    filter=filters.HasData(views=[ViewA]),                    limit=100,                ),                "ViewB_Nodes": dm.query.NodeResultSetExpression(                    from_="ViewA_Nodes",                    through=dm.PropertyId(                        source=ViewA,                        property="DefectEventID"                    ),                    direction="outwards", 

In addition to using config.[env].yaml, is it possible to create a custom file for configuring variables and then reference those placeholders in data models, transformations, workflows, etc ?For instance, I have several common SQL blocks that I would like to share across different transformations. While I could define them as variables in config.[env].yaml, I prefer to keep SQL-related variables separate from others in order to maintain clarity.

Hi Cognite Team,We are currently defining an integration pattern for a partner who will provide data from an OPC UA source into Cognite Data Fusion.Our preference is to use a managed MQTT broker in CDF and avoid deploying any self-hosted MQTT broker or additional bridge components on-prem.Based on the documentation, we understand that the OPC UA Extractor supports an mqtt: output mode, but it also references a requirement for the MQTT-CDF Bridge and a configured broker host/port.To ensure we define the correct and supported architecture, could you please clarify: Is it supported to configure the OPC UA Extractor to publish directly to the Cognite-hosted MQTT broker in CDF? If using the Cognite-managed MQTT broker, is the MQTT-CDF Bridge still required? Is a self-hosted MQTT broker mandatory when using the mqtt: configuration in the OPC UA Extractor? What is the recommended architecture today for a partner delivering OPC UA data into CDF using MQTT? Our intended target architectur

Hello Experts,I’m trying to use advanced filter on timeseries through SDK. I can do what I want except in the following situation: the asset_id property is null. Can anyone help me?I tried :from cognite.client.data_classes.time_series import TimeSeriesPropertyf = filters.And( filters.Equals("data_set_id", 123456), filters.Equals("name", "foobar"), filters.Equals(TimeSeriesProperty.asset_id, ""))[advancedFilter.[2].equals.value A string is not a valid value for the property "assetId"]from cognite.client.data_classes.time_series import TimeSeriesPropertyf = filters.And( filters.Equals("data_set_id", 123456), filters.Not(filters.Exists(TimeSeriesProperty.asset_id)),)-> 0I’m sure there is timeseries where timeseries.asset_id is None.Thanks experts !Regards,Pierre Rambourg

Hello, Is it possible to be alerted by email when a function or a workflow invocation fails? Thank you!

Hello experts,I’m looking to work with data workflows.I’m looking to trigger on node with a specific attribute (direct relation to another view) empty.I’m trying to work with the UI but I struggle with the Data modeling query validation.I don’t understand why the validation fails and what is the expected format for the query : JSON seems to be the expected format as seen here : But documentation uses YAML : https://docs.cognite.com/cdf/dm/dm_concepts/dm_querying#graph-query-examplesI’m a bit lost and I need your help. And my query : { "with":[ { "ts":{ "nodes":{ "filter":{ "exists":{ "property":[ "nameTranslations" ] } } }, "limit":1000 } } ], "select":[ { "ts":{ "sources":[ { "source":{ "type":"view", "sp

How much time does it really take to build a full solution?We deployed a complete solution using Cognite CDF, Cursor, and Anthropic Claude Opus 4.6, powered heavily by Gen AI in just 4 hours.This was not just a prototype screen. It was a fully deployed solution for demo purpose.And here’s the most interesting part:All of the following steps were done using Gen AI:1️⃣ Creation of the data model in Cognite Data Fusion and the Terraform2️⃣ Deployment of the model in Cognite3️⃣ Data generation and ingestion into the Cognite Data Platform4️⃣ Development of a React application on top of Cognite using the Cognite SDK5️⃣ Creation of: Asset Map, KPIs, Production Time Series Dashboardand Well Intervention viewFrom data modeling to frontend application — accelerated with AI.This is not about replacing engineers.It’s about dramatically increasing speed, experimentation, and delivery capacity. The question is no longer “Can we build it?”It’s “How fast can we build it?”Post here!

Issue: Some functionality is not working properly in Edge browser, while it works fine in Chrome. We have a few internal tickets highlighting these issues: Ticket 1 – Search issue in Cognite Data Explorer:    The user is trying to search for the asset “E206” in the Assets section using Edge, but it does not appear in the results. Searching the same asset in Chrome works correctly. This issue occurs only with the E206 asset; other assets in the same hierarchy are searchable in Edge. Ticket 2 – Canvas not loading properly: Canvases are not loading correctly in Edge. The same canvases load without any issues in Chrome.  Ticket 3 – P&ID diagram loading issue: A user is trying to load a specific P&ID diagram in Edge, but it fails to load. The diagram loads correctly in Chrome. Steps Taken to Resolve Clear Edge Cache and Cookies   Navigate to Settings → Privacy, Search, and Services → Clear Browsing Data → Cached Images & Files + Cookies.   Restart Edge and log in again.  Che

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

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.

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,

 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,I’d like to share industrial-model — a Python ORM built on top of the Cognite Data Modeling Service API.It lets you define DMS views using Pydantic models, query them with a fluent, expressive API (filter, search, aggregate), and get fully typed results with IDE autocomplete out of the box.The SDK also supports upserts, deletes, and async workflows, making it a natural fit for modern Python stacks. In addition, it includes configuration for injecting instance spaces directly into queries, which can significantly improve query performance when working with large or complex data models.We’ve been using industrial-model for the past couple of months, and it has significantly reduced boilerplate when querying complex graphs, while also speeding up onboarding for new developers.Documentation:https://github.com/lucasrosaalves/industrial-model Feedback and feature requests are very welcome!Sample code:from pathlib import Pathfrom industrial_model import ( Engine, ViewInstanc

The documentation on this page should be updated to reflect the product behavior.https://api-docs.cognite.com/20230101/tag/Spaces/operation/deleteSpacesV3> If an existing data model references a space, you cannot delete that space. Nodes, edges and other data types that are part of a space will no longer be available. I tried deleting a space with a single node and I get this error:cognite.client.exceptions.CogniteAPIError: Unable to delete spaces because they contain nodes or edges: [some-test-space] | code: 400 This does not exactly contradict the documentation, but it means that the documentation is misleading. As it is written, it suggests a space can be used to manage lifecycle of ephemeral test data.

Description / Problem StatementWe are using the Cognite 3D File Extractor to migrate 3D model files from an on-premises Windows VM to Cognite Data Fusion (CDF).The majority of 3D files are ingested successfully with multiple sizes mostly > 10 GB. However, four specific files consistently fail ingestion, even after multiple retries.Key observations:All failing files are close to 5 GB in size Example sizes (as shown in Windows Explorer): 4.99 GB 4.94 GB 4.91 GB When checked via terminal/command line, these same files report a larger actual size (~5.3 GB) It appears that based on the Windows VM file size, the 3D extractor determines it should use a single-part upload. However, when it attempts to upload the actual file, the process fails because the size exceeds 5 GB      

Hi , I have the CogniteActivity in the CDM/EDM data model which the assets is part of the model: Below is the sample data of CogniteActivity:This is the data model for Event in PDM:I tried to transform from CDM/EDM to PDM using below transformation, but i am not sure what is the script to transform CogniteActivity to PDM Event:And i got below error: Anyone know how can I transform CDM/EDM asset node reference to Event entities attribute? Thank you.

Hi Guys,I tried to use a transformation from the SDK but i keep getting error on Transformation credentials. Do you guys know what I need to do to solve this credentials issue.

Hello,  Some capabilities, such as dataModelInstancesAcl or dataModelsAcl, support the spaceIdScope scope. Currently, we can only specify the spaces to which we want to grant access.To better support certain use cases, would it be possible to introduce support for exclusion rules or regex-based expressions within this scope? Thanks 

We have multiple Asset Centric Location Filters created which are used in Industrial Tools search to filter site specific assets.When using multiple filters, we observed that the Search returns 0 assets.We inspected the Network requests and observed the Cognite API call to assets/list fails with below error:```{  "error": {    "code": 400,    "message": "Asset subtrees exceed the limit of 100000 assets."  }}```There are similar cases where a location filter is setup with asset subtree and the subtree has more than 100K assets. Is there a way we can configure Location Filters to bypass the limit of 100k assets.

Wow—was I in for a challenge!I just received my first proper assignment after joining Cognite: building a custom extractor to move documents and their metadata from a Document Management System (DMS) into Cognite Data Fusion (CDF).Diving headfirst into this, I found myself at the intersection of a steep learning curve, the high-stakes data needs of our industrial customers, and my own belief in Agile engineering practices. Coming from a background where Test-Driven Development (TDD) is the heartbeat of quality, I realized I didn't just want to build a script; I wanted to build a process I could trust.In this series, I want to share a practice that served me well while learning the ropes: The "Twin Auditor" Pattern.The Challenge: Beyond Logic, It’s IntegrationWhen you build an extractor, you aren't just writing code in a vacuum. You are building a bridge between two distinct worlds: your source system (the DMS) and your data platform (CDF).Extraction is inherently an integration challen
