Hello,We want to use the Change Feed from the Cosmos. And this suppport is available in only their Java or .Net sdks.Now when we want to use one of those sdks and now see on Cognite side we see that these both sdks of Cognite are not supported by Cognite directly. So we are in problematic situation here.And hence we request to consider atleast supporting of basic things on Java or .Net Cognite sdk.Also can you clearly list out some risks for continuing usage of java cognite sdk for the time being till these sdks are only community supported ? I was not able to think of anything other than security vulnerabilities fixes.Regards,Neeraj and Tausif
A customer has asked for the xECM for OpenText file extractor
We can define the template schedule for Daily/Weekly/Monthly/Yearly but we cannot define the specified date. We have many operator round at the end of month so please improve to specify the date for scheduling. Setting the every fourth Friday cannot be helpful because the date of the fourth Friday varies by each month. For instance, see the calendar Nov 2024, the end of month is 29Nov. Even if we set 4th Friday, we have more than 1week time gap to inspect and it doesn't work.
I’m creating this Hub post on behalf of Celanese as user sanjeet.ad.kumar@accenture.com has raised through a support ticket #12703 that they need this feature. The goal of this initiative is that their use case requires real-time data refreshing from CDF data model whereas the current PowerBi connector only supports minimum of 30mins. According to the internal discussion, currently the CDF Power BI connector does not support DirectQuery, as it is powered by the OData API, and Power BI only supports SQL-based connectors with DirectQuery. More details can be found here: https://cognitedata.slack.com/archives/C9FL8378B/p1726133687154519 Support ticket: https://cognite.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/12703
As we may soon will need to store sensitive data in Cognite to support specific use cases—such as information on payments made to a specific vendor—it would be highly beneficial to implement a feature that allows the creation of row-level security policies. This would allow us to apply targeted exceptions for users in the Fraud Prevention role, ensuring they have appropriate access while maintaining strict control and protection of sensitive data for other users.
I’m creating this Hub post on behalf of Aker BP ASA as user Knut vanes has raised that they need this feature. The goal of this initiative is to provide visualization of machine state changes, along with supporting information such as the duration of each state transition and the total duration of states during a time period, in Cognite Charts and other consumer applications. The team has currently added this feature implementation to the roadmap where the development work will begin soon.
Using charts, open a p&id document, there is no way to make this bigger than the tiny quarter screen. Should be able to drag this view bigger other too small to see and if you zoom in, then just viewing a tiny area.
Hello,I noticed that CDF displays the start/end time in the user's time zone, even though the API, as documented, returns "The number of milliseconds since 00:00:00 Thursday, 1 January 1970, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), minus leap seconds." I believe that this behavior should be documented to avoid potential confusion, especially when the same timestamp is set in both the start/end time fields and metadata. The timestamps in start/end time fields are converted to the user's local time zone, while those in metadata are not, which may lead to confusion for QA Engineers. I recommend documenting this aspect to provide clarity for users. Additionally, to enhance user experience, I suggest implementing a feature that allows users to select their preferred time zone from their profile settings. All timestamps, including those in metadata, could be consistently converted to the user's chosen time zone, ensuring a uniform and clear representation throughout the application.I believe this enhancement would significantly improve the usability of CDF.Regards,Hussain
With several tenants on our CDF projects and with a lot of Extraction pipelines to monitor, it is hard to sort the different emails to which environment they belong or come from.We would like to get more metadata or to be able to edit the information sent by email on the extraction pipeline alerts and also to be able to do automation on the alerts in whatever system we send them to.
Though many companies are pretty liberal with read access on tags within a PI Data Archive, some out there need to control access at a more granular level. (Often driven by the need to protect intellectual property.) Only certain groups of users should be able to see data for certain tags.In our case, we would like our access model with respect to PI data in CDF to mimic what’s in PI. In a PI Data Archive, this is governed by the datasecurity metadata field. Unfortunately, the PI extractor seems to strip off this metadata on ingestion. Without that, we’re looking at a workaround solution in which we maintain this mapping in CDF and use something like a Cognite function to apply a security category that mimics the PI tag’s data access. However, this does come with some headaches:We’ll have to maintain a separate mapping of PI tags to the right level of access (that would otherwise be present in that datasecurity metadata field). The PI tag data can’t be secured before that security category is applied.I provide all this background information in the hopes that it’s useful for developing features that are useful for this need. But if I had to make a concrete ask:Provide an option for the PI extractor to not strip off “internal bookkeeping attributes in PI” from incoming PI tags. Provide a means to apply a security category during the extraction process, itself. (Similar to how the file extractor does.)Thank you for your attention and looking forward to discussing more!
Currently, the asset search for template creation uses the assets/search endpoint, which according to the documentation does a "best-effort fuzzy search in relevant fields" (currently only on name and description) (as told by Mithila Jayalath). On behalf of Celanese, I would like that either this search took into consideration the external ID as well, or the list of results displayed the results’ external id. I want this to be able to determine which asset is refering to the equipment and which asset is refering to the general hierarchy, as the external ID is a easy way to determine this in our project.
I want to be able to see the timeseries or go to the timeseries when I navigate through a P&ID in Cognite Data Explorer.
Granularity of point clouds can’t be zoomed into using the ‘Search’ version. This can only be done in the ‘Data Explorer’ version. It needs to be able to zoom all the way to tiny points.
Hello,Working heavily with CDF, I often have to switch between various screens including Charts, Data Explorer etc. Currently, I need to click on the tab and wait for it to load to see what page it is since the titles of the page are not displayed in the tab header. Except for CDF Charts and Data Catalog, for which page titles are correctly configured, other CDF pages have only a generic title ('Cognite Data Fusion'). This includes Data Explorer, RAW Explorer, Data Model. You can check the video attached to issue 10886 for a video of the Edge browser with vertical tabs so that you can see what I am talking about. I would have loved to attach it here but there is no functionlity to allow me to do so.
In Cognite Remote / Data Fusion, it would be good to add the ability to slice on the X/Y plane as opposed to just the Z plane to better isolate the area of interest. This is relevant to 3D CAD models as well as point clouds.
When .docx file ingested into Cognite Data Fusion UI, document pages increases while user viewed in CDF.This creates confusion for user to navigate any particular page number to check the documents details.For example, a word document pages in source is 51 but its page counts increase to 69 when same document is ingested & viewed in CDF,
We use push-down filtering to get our relevant data from CDF into Power BI. We filter on the external ID property, since this is constant across our environments in CDF. Here is an example of that this looks like: Source = Cognite.Contents(cdf_env & "/Timeseries/?$filter=ExternalId eq 'an_external_id'", null) This works great for Time Series, but doing the same thing for Sequemces leads to an error:DataSource.Error: Microsoft.Mashup.Engine1.Library.Resources.HttpResource: Request failed: OData Version: 3 and 4, Error: The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request. (The provided filter was invalid.)OData Version: 4, Error: The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request. (The provided filter was invalid.)OData Version: 3, Error: The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request. (The provided filter was invalid.)Details: DataSourceKind=Cognite DataSourcePath={"project":"akerbp-dev\/Sequences?$filter=ExternalId eq 'val_alarms_top_10_weekly'"} Push-down filtering on the external id seems to be supported based on the information here; Am I doing something wrong? Is there maybe a bug somewhere? Filtering on the Name attribute does work, and it keeps us going for the moment, but I don’t like that the Name is not a unique identifier of the object. Thanks for any help and advice! :)
Search results in the hierarchy view of Explore Assets is difficult to use. It’s almost impossible to find what you are looking for in a very large/deep hierarchy. We are almost always resorting to the list view and disregarding the hierarchy view entirely since even after searching, one finds themselves scrolling and scrolling to find yellow matches. Because the hierarchy view also shows close matches, the view is littered non-exact matches.After finding the asset, you can only view children. There is no way to navigate to the parent from the asset view. It is quite useful for us to find an asset and be able to view the ancestry tree to the root and its children.The ONLY way for us to get the ancestry view of a particular asset goes like: Explore Data → Assets Search Skip Hierarchy view, use List View instead View Details of the Asset, copy the External ID Open Filters Put External ID in filter Finally have a hierarchy view with only the ancestry of a particular Asset I have some suggestions that may help bring some usability into search. An option to show exact matches only… for times I know exactly what I am looking for. (99% of the time) Similar to Find in a document search, there needs to be a Next and Previous button that auto-focus on the next match. There needs to be a way to navigate up and down the ancestry tree. One can only descend from Asset to Children. It is impossible to navigate from Asset to Parent. Instead of a Children tab, perhaps just show the Lineage/Ancestry of all Assets in this family tree? Perhaps give the option to show how many degrees up and down from the current asset, in case there are hundreds or more in a family. We are not able to search by ID, this would help allow us to find the exact search. Search box results should not reset, such as the user’s position or search text, via actions in an expanded sheet on the right. EX: Have a very large hierarchy. Search for an Asset via text in Hierarchy view (no filters), something that required scroll down to middle of search results, click on it. Its details are expanded in a sheet on the right. Click any Tab in the sheet. (Children, Asset, …) Search text and position in the search results are fully reset.
For our site, I know how to filter our site data sets to narrow selection of data. Instead of selecting multiple data sets to search only within our site, would it be possible to use wildcards or another filter to limit the search to our site?
We have more than once now discovered our Time Series data which is currently being extracted using the Event Hub Hosted Extractor within the platform, has stopped extracting data for reasons we cannot determine. To make hosted extractors production-worthy they must be able to notify platform owners when they fail, which they currently do not, and instead keep polling with bad session or connection info. Here’s what this looks like in the logs provided by the hosted extractor Insight view:For starters, this shouldn’t have 0 datapoints per hour. That’s a potential opportunity for threshold alerting.Expanding the details, these repeated failures are nondescript and do not indicate why things failed. Discovering these issues reactively after platform users have asked why data is not trustable (things are missing), will present challenges for platform trust. We are not yet into production with our platform and must find a solution to this before the data can be used by our teams.
Currently, the data model and data model instance actions are limited to read and write capabilities.To enhance clarity and delineate responsibilities within CDF groups more effectively, I propose dividing the existing configuration into distinct categories: read, write/update, and delete.Another enhancement is to disallow the deletion of containers that have associated views. The same principle applies to views; they cannot be deleted if other components (views or data models) are referencing them.
Hi,Is it feasible to incorporate a new feature into the SAP extractor that facilitates reporting? For instance, scheduling the SAP extractor on a daily basis to append data to the raw database, even if the primary key remains the same for subsequent days, and ensuring that it does not overwrite existing data.Presently, we've implemented a workaround by including a date field in the key and utilizing our own extractor to accomplish this. Can this functionality be achieved using the Cognite SAP extractor?Also same for DB extractor Support ticket raised is https://cognite.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/10724?page=1. Thanks,Shubha
Hi Team,In SAP Cognite Extractor, Till now we were able to use multiple existing columns in the key. Now, the requirement is like I want add some dynamic field in the key Like Usecase:Key : [Key1, Key2]Proposed Idea: I want append the date for all the keys so that I can keep track of all the records changes in every day.Key: [Key1, Key2, <Currentdatetime>] Thanks in advance,Sai Harshita
Hi,I noticed that the current setup with the Dockerfile cognite/db-extractor-base runs the extractor as the root user within the container.In our use case, we have to heavily modify the Dockerfile to change the setup so that it runs as a non-root user. It would be highly beneficial if the Docker image either accepted an argument to run as a non-root user or, preferably, ran the script as a non-root user by default. Running containers as the root user is not best practice for containerized development and is often restricted in organizational environments.I'm not sure if there is an intentional reason for running as root, or if this aspect hasn't been considered yet at Cognite.If you are open to changing this, I can assist and provide our current solution. I believe this adjustment would improve security and compatibility for multiple users.Best regards,Matias Ramsland,matias.ramsland@akerbp.com
