Product Updates

We've added two new capabilities to the GAP connector that address common challenges Petroleum Engineers face when working with GAP simulation models in production environments.Information Model ExtractionThe GAP connector now can automatically extract detailed information models from simulator model revisions, making flowsheet data accessible for analysis without requiring direct simulator access. When you upload a GAP model revision, the connector can parse the complete flowsheet hierarchy, capturing all functional blocks such as wells, pumps, valves, pipes, and tanks along with their operating parameters, physical properties, and configuration settings. The system also extracts connection relationships between equipment and graphical positioning information for visualization processes.This extraction is configurable through a modelparsing.config.yml file where you define which properties to extract from different equipment types. You can specify common properties that apply to all equipment (like oil rates, water rates, and gas rates from solver results) as well as equipment-specific properties (such as well model types, pipeline correlations, or valve characteristics). Each property definition includes the data type, units, and the GAP address suffix used to retrieve the value from the model.The parsing process activates automatically when a new model revision is created or when you reparse an existing revision, provided a valid configuration file exists. The connector loads the GAP model, discovers all equipment instances, extracts the configured properties along with unit information, analyzes equipment connections to generate material flow relationships, and stores the complete information model in CDF alongside the simulator model revision.The parsing adds some processing time during model validation, with the duration depending on model complexity. If property extraction fails for individual items (due to invalid addresses, incorrect unit quantities, or wrong value types), the connector logs the errors and continues processing rather than failing the entire operation.For configuration instructions and examples, see the public documentation.External Dependencies SupportThe GAP connector now supports a new external dependencies mode that changes how you manage simulation model components. Traditional GAP workflows require packaging everything into single .gar archive files, which can get quite large for big networks. Any change to individual components like well models or VLP tables necessitates repackaging and re-uploading the entire bundle, creating storage overhead and making frequent updates impractical.The external dependencies mode allows you to upload .zip files containing only the GAP network files (production and injection networks) while mapping individual node dependencies like .OUT, .VLP as separate CDF files. When creating a model revision, the user provides a mapping structure that links each external dependency file to its proper location in the GAP model using the simulator's address notation. For example, you can map a PROSPER .OUT file to GAP.MOD[{PROD}].WELL[{A1}].File and a .VLP file to GAP.MOD[{PROD}].WELL[{A1}].VLPFile.This approach enables to update individual well models, VLP tables, or other components without rebuilding entire model bundles. Different team members can work on different components independently, and you avoid duplicating unchanged files across model revisions, significantly reducing storage costs. The connector handles the complexity by downloading the network files, processing the external dependencies mapping, downloading each referenced CDF file separately, resolving file paths using the provided arguments, and assembling everything into a complete simulation model.For complete setup instructions covering both the new external dependencies mode and the single bundle mode, refer to the the public documentation.These features are currently in beta and subject to change based on user feedback. Access the parsed information through the existing simulator model revision endpoints, and configure external dependencies through the standard model revision creation process.

Cross-agent chat now enables users to carry conversations fluidly across agents, reducing friction and keeping work moving. A refreshed UI aligns visually with CDF for smoother, more consistent interactions. Together, these updates strengthen trust and make agents an integral part of daily workflows, driving higher engagement.Documentation Smarter Knowledge Graph QueriesThe new Agentic QKG v2 unlocks richer, engineer-like insights. By supporting multi-step queries, diagram annotations, and edge properties, agents can now handle nuanced industrial questions that previously ended in dead-ends. This makes it easier to retrieve deep context and uncover relationships across complex datasets.Documentation Secure & Governed Agent OperationsEnterprise customers now have stronger governance. New access controls (agents:read, agents:write, agents:run) define who can view, create, or execute agents. High-impact tools like Python execution and REST API calls require explicit confirmation before running. This prevents accidental execution and strengthens compliance and security. Documentation Accelerating Time-to-Value with TemplatesBetaWe’re launching ready-to-use agent templates like Data Scout (for instant industrial data retrieval in Canvas) and Time Series Trender (for trend and root-cause analysis). These reduce time-to-insight and empower engineers to self-serve without waiting on data science teams.Documentation Document Parser EnhancementsBetaParsing is smarter and more flexible. Users can leverage LLM vision capabilities, set custom parsing instructions in UI or API, select page ranges, and extract multiple instances. This unlocks more data trapped in files while giving customers more control and performance.Documentation Industrial Tools Checklist SchedulingBetaA new Schedules tab allows supervisors to plan upcoming checklists by shift, day, or week. This ensures the most critical work gets prioritized, giving supervisors flexibility to optimize operations and resource allocation.Documentation Ad-Hoc Checklists from Mobile TemplatesNot all fieldwork follows a schedule. With mobile checklist templates, operators can now generate unique, ad-hoc checklists directly in the field. Filtering options make it easy to find the right template, and mobile support means no dependency on desktop systems. This empowers operators to respond to changing conditions on the spot. Activities Visualization in CDM ProjectsBetaCharts now allows engineers to overlay activities (like maintenance or process events) directly on top of time series. By clicking an activity, users can view full details instantly. This bridges the gap between “what happened” (data anomalies) and “why it happened” (operational context), speeding up troubleshooting and decision-making. Smarter, Faster Ways to Explore DataSearch and browse just got a major upgrade. Users can:View denser tables with frozen headers. Resize preview panels for quick file inspection. Apply alphanumeric sorting, Enum filters, and “select all” options. See clearer tooltips and error handling.The result is faster, more comfortable navigation, letting users spend less time finding data and more time analyzing it.Documentation:Introduced Space and External Id across filters, columns and propertiesFilters/columns: “Select all” and filtering on enum propertiesImprovements to the search configuration UI Support for CDM and Hybrid ProjectsWe’ve closed a key migration gap: hybrid CAD projects and CDM point cloud contextualization are now fully supported via API. This unblocks major customer migrations and accelerates the transition from classic to CDM.Documentation Automatic Tag Detection for 360° ImagesUsers can now run text detection on 360° images to automatically generate annotation suggestions with bounding boxes. This reduces manual contextualization time and encourages more frequent updates to this rich data format.Documentation New Measurement Tools3D becomes more practical with enhanced measurement tools: horizontal cylinder measurement (ideal for exchangers and flanges), coordinate-based measurement, and improved UX for precision. These improvements reduce the need for on-site field work.Documentation Power BI App 3D ViewerBetaRequested by customers like Aker, this Power BI app allows direct viewing, rotating, and measuring of CAD models inside dashboards. Users can now correlate Power BI data with 3D spatial context, providing a richer lens for analysis.Documentation Extract Information Model from SimulatorsBetaA long-standing challenge has been the opacity of simulator files. This feature automatically extracts flowsheet hierarchies — equipment, properties, connections — into CDF. With initial support for GAP, engineers and AI systems can finally see and use this data without opening proprietary software. External Dependencies in Model RevisionsBetaInstead of uploading massive monolithic archives, users can now upload smaller ZIPs and manage dependencies as separate CDF files. This saves storage, avoids duplication, and makes updates much faster — particularly critical for large production networks.Documentation:Integration DocumentationSetting up a GAP Connector Data ManagementConfigurable Tag Detection UIBetaThe diagram parsing UI now offers a configuration interface. Users can fine-tune parameters (like minTokens and searchField) and scope which assets or files are searched. This delivers more accurate and relevant results without custom scripts. Annotation Box AdjustmentsBetaWhen annotation boxes shift after file version changes, users can now move and scale them directly in the UI — even in bulk. This saves manual rework and keeps annotations aligned with minimal effort. Core Data Model Support for DB ExtractorThe DB Extractor now writes directly into CDM instance spaces, whether for Time Series, File concepts, or any other data model nodes and edges. This simplifies onboarding of database sources, shortens time-to-value, and makes CDM a first-class destination for structured and unstructured data.Documentation AdminApp-Scoped AccessAdmins can now scope access capabilities to specific applications. By limiting which groups apply for each app, queries in large Data Models are faster and more efficient. This change strengthens performance without reducing flexibility.

Hi everyone,We're excited to announce that the Power BI REST API connector is now Generally Available (GA), offering significant performance improvements and broader capabilities. At the same time, we're deprecating the legacy OData connector, which will be retired on August 18, 2026.What's changing:REST API connector promoted to GA:- Broader authentication support: Works with all identity providers supported by CDF (not just Azure Entra ID)- Enhanced data access: OData services, GraphQL for data models, and direct REST API endpoints- Up to 10x performance improvement when using direct REST endpoints- Full API coverage: Access data from any GA CDF API endpointOData connector deprecated:- Deprecation date: August 18, 2025- Retirement date: August 18, 2026- Existing reports will continue to work until retirement- All new reports must use the REST API connectorWhat this means for you:For new reports:- Use the REST API connector exclusively- Choose from three data access methods based on your needs:  - OData services for quick exploration (no coding required)  - GraphQL for data models (minimal coding)  - Direct REST for maximum performance (needs some Power Query coding experience)For existing OData-based reports:- Continue working normally until retirement date- Plan migration to the REST API connector before retirement- We've created a migration guide with multiple migration options ranging from minimal code changes to performance-optimized approachesResources:- REST API connector setup guide: https://docs.cognite.com/cdf/dashboards/guides/powerbi/set_up_rest_connector- Migration guide from OData: https://docs.cognite.com/cdf/dashboards/guides/powerbi/set_up_odata_connector#migration-guide- Deprecation timeline: https://docs.cognite.com/cdf/deprecated- Training (coming soon): While our documentation is ready for you to get started immediately, we're also developing dedicated Academy training courses covering the new REST connector features and migration best practices. These hands-on courses will be available soon to help you make the most of the enhanced capabilities.The REST API connector represents a significant advancement in how Power BI integrates with CDF, providing better performance, broader compatibility, and access to all CDF features. We encourage starting your migration planning early to ensure a smooth transition.For questions or support during migration, please reach out to your Cognite representative or post in the forum.

Hi there,We're introducing new rate limits for Cognite Function Calls, affecting less than 5% of CDF projects based on current usage patterns.Cognite Functions has seen significant growth, and we've identified usage patterns with very high running call counts that are impacting system capacity and performance for all users. Our new rate limits will ensure more equitable resource distribution and maintain reliable service quality across all CDF projects.What's changing:We're introducing limits on concurrent function calls with a phased rollout: Current: Undocumented concurrent running call limits (based on underlying cloud provider) New: Maximum of 250 concurrent running calls per CDF project (independent of cloud provider) New projects: Limits apply immediately starting with this announcement Existing projects: Limits take effect November 1, 2025 Additionally, we're updating the HTTP response status code for the case where the limit of 100 concurrent running function calls per function is exceeded. The code will change from 400 to 429, aligning with HTTP standards. What this means for you: Most CDF projects won't notice any difference. The 250 concurrent running call limit supports typical usage patterns across most workloads. CDF projects currently exceeding this limit will receive direct outreach from our team with optimization guidance and transition support. We recommend reviewing your function concurrency patterns and consider optimizations like batching or queue management for high-volume scenarios. Upon reaching the limit, new function call requests will return HTTP 429 (Too Many Requests), signaling clients to back off and retry later. Some SDKs like the official Python SDK already handle automatic retries with exponential backoff for 429 responses, minimizing the need for code changes. We take these decisions seriously. We're committed to supporting high-concurrency use cases through architectural improvements and will continue to monitor usage patterns to ensure these limits serve our community effectively.We also recognize the importance of maintaining performance during this transition. Our team will be closely monitoring system behavior and is ready to provide direct support for projects that need assistance with optimization strategies.

Simulator license constraints can cause significant disruption when running engineering workflows, especially during high-frequency simulations or when available licenses are limited. Previously, simulator connectors only supported acquiring and releasing licenses for every simulation task.We've now added more flexible options that allow you to optimize license usage for different usage patterns and operational needs.License handling updatesThe new license management modes provide configurable strategies to adapt to different usage patterns:Per-task acquisition (default): Licenses are acquired and released for each simulation task.Inactivity-based release: Connectors hold licenses across multiple consecutive tasks, releasing them only after a configurable period of inactivity. Reduces overhead for batch operations while ensuring efficient license sharing during idle periods.Beyond the new license handling options, we've added reliability improvements that work across both strategies:Process cleanup: Automatic detection and termination of stuck simulator processes that fail to release licenses properly Retry logic: Retry pattern with exponential backoff when licenses are temporarily unavailableCurrent availabilityFlexible license handling is implemented in the PROSPER connector and will be extended to other simulator connectors in the future. Default behavior remains unchanged for backward compatibility, which means existing configurations continue working without modification.Configure the new license handling options in your connector configuration when you're ready to optimize your license utilization strategy. Read more about the available options in our public documentation.

Important Update: Removal of Alpha Features in Data Modeling user interfaceDear Users,We are writing to inform you about an important update regarding the alpha features in the Data Modeling user interface. Over the past year, we have been testing several alpha features to enhance your experience. However, after careful consideration, we have decided to deprecate the following features: Population Smart Suggestions Knowledge Graph What does this mean for you?The feature flag for these alpha features will be removed with the Q2 2025 release. For projects that currently have these features activated, the functionality will no longer be available, and the experimental feature button in the Data Modeling user interface will be empty after that date.For new projects or users who have never activated these features, the only noticeable change will be that the experimental feature button remains empty.You can achieve similar experiences to the Population and Smart Suggestion experimental features by utilizing the Transformation UI. Unfortunately, there is no workaround available for the Knowledge Graph feature at this time.Next StepsRest assured, these features are being considered in the development of an improved workflow for creating and populating data models.We appreciate your understanding and continued support. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to get in contact with us.Best regards,Elka Sierra

Streamline Industrial Workflows and Collaboration with Extensible AI Agents Cognite’s latest product release furthers its leadership in industrial AI and DataOps by increasing the usability and flexibility of AI agents for AI-powered insightsThe newest release of Cognite’s industrial agent workbench, Cognite Atlas AI™, allows users to easily customize AI agents and increases the accessibility of real-time data with REST API support. Additionally, the latest release of Cognite Data Fusion® enhances collaboration amongst industrial users for troubleshooting and root cause analysis in Industrial Canvas,  and accelerates production optimization workflows with Petex simulator integration. Transform traditional industrial workflows with AI-powered insightWith the release of the REST API agent tool for Cognite Atlas AI, AI agents now have access to the most relevant, up-to-date information in Cognite Data Fusion’s industrial data foundation. Previously, Atlas AI relied upon pre-built configurations to access data in Cognite Data Fusion. Now, AI agents can use the API agent tool to fully customize access to real-time data in Cognite Data Fusion, increasing the breadth of workflows. The combination of AI agents and native Cognite API integration expands the scope of AI-powered capabilities, including time series anomaly detection, real-time troubleshooting and analysis, and work order creation.  Aligning with Cognite’s commitment to openness, this native integration is a precursor to an external API integration, extending Atlas AI agents into workflows of 3rd party applications. Learn more about how to do this in our documentation. To simplify the efforts to build and tailor AI agents, Cognite Atlas AI has now embedded a Python script editor, enhancing agent functionality without external dependencies. This streamlines workflow automation and empowers builders to customize AI agents in a unified experience.As part of this product release, Cognite has also released a second edition of the Cognite Atlas AI LLM & SLM Benchmark Report for Industrial Agents. This report, designed to help industrial organizations identify which language model should be used for specific industrial tasks, expands on its first release by introducing Document Question Answering (Document QA) to complement the previously covered natural language search (now Natural Language Query). Document QA addresses another critical capability: enabling AI agents to analyze and extract insights from industrial documents, such as manuals, maintenance logs, reports, and compliance records. Together with natural language search, this forms a holistic foundation for building reliable industrial AI agents.Real-time Production Optimization with Petex Simulator IntegrationUpstream energy organizations have made significant investments representing their operations in advanced modelling and simulation software for production optimization. Simulators often require time-consuming manual processes to batch data for updated insights and recommendations.With this release, Cognite Data Fusion now supports connectors native integration for Petex PROSPER and Petex GAP, unlocking real-time optimization of wells and networks and increased operational efficiency. The Petex connectors automate the data connectivity of contextualized industrial data from Cognite Data Fusion to Petex simulators, eliminating the manual efforts to maintain simulation models and access insights. Streamlining collaboration for troubleshooting and root cause analysisIndustrial organizations such as Nova Chemicals are using Cognite Data Fusion’s Industrial Canvas to analyze operations, troubleshoot issues, and perform root cause analysis (RCA) on unplanned events. Cognite’s industrial canvas provides an unbounded workspace to engage with all contextualized information, such as time series, work orders, documents, drawings, 3D, and more, in one unified environment.  New table for user created data in Industrial CanvasIndustrial Canvas already incorporates AI-powered document summarization and questions,  along with a powerful toolbox for users to easily find relevant information and add situational context when analyzing operations. As part of this release, the ability to create tables has been added to the toolbox to complement existing toolbox functionality, such as notes, shapes, lines, and more. Cognite continues to invest in AI and toolbox capabilities within Industrial Canvas to help industrial users streamline data-heavy workflows such as RCA, work package creation for turnaround planning, troubleshooting, and more. Organizing Canvases through LabelsAnother challenge organizations face with troubleshooting and RCA workflows is retaining knowledge from previous assessments and recalling the corrective actions implemented in a previous analysis. To increase the visibility and collaboration around historical knowledge, Industrial Canvas now includes labels to organize and search for relevant information. By applying one or several labels to your canvas, users can search for analyses by specific equipment types, functional areas, or process types, allowing knowledge and corrective actions to be shared across the organization. See how to leverage labels in our documentation. To experience the power of our latest release, join us at Impact 2025 – the premier industrial data and AI conference for users, by users. See firsthand how we're shaping the future of industry.
