Product Updates

As the leaves turn orange and red and autumn settles in Norway, we continue our rapid iterations to bring you new enhancements. We are introducing a huge enabler to further enrich your industrial data in Cognite Data Fusion (CDF): Relationships - now available in beta. We continue our investment to enable users to explore data using domain terms by adding support for labels on the Files resource type. Additionally, in a new dedicated directory property, you can now store information about the source system directory where the file originates from. These new features allow data engineers to model data in ways that enable a broad range of solutions. For all application developers and data scientists out there, we’re adding support for configuring alignment for synthetic time series. Our next major release, with a bundle of exciting features, is planned for December 2nd. We’re already doing exciting prototyping and beta testing around data discovery for solution developers, scheduling of data pipelines, and administration and monitoring of ingestion pipelines. Much to look forward to! More flexible modeling of industrial data through RelationshipsWith the introduction of the Relationships resource type, we enable far more powerful ways to model industrial data. While previously, you could only model equipment relations as a tree, you can now model data flexibly in a graph.In this release, we are moving relationships from Playground to Beta.Data engineers can use relationships to organize your assets into multiple structures, tailored for your organization's purposes. For example, you can organize assets by the process flow or the physical connectivity in a grid structure to let users efficiently locate data for nearby equipment.And while some users in your organization find it useful and efficient to organize the equipment by its function in a maintenance hierarchy, others may benefit from having them organized by physical location in a location-based hierarchy:In short, relationships give you the flexibility to organize assets in structures that are meaningful for your organization. See Modeling asset structures with relationships for more example structures.Beyond structuring assets, you can use relationships to create richer connections between data elements and build a knowledge graph on top of the data you already have.To learn more about how relationships can represent industrial reality, we recommend that you read the "Building a contextualized power system network model" whitepaper. Adding labels support for the Files resource typeWe continue our investment to enable users to explore data using domain terms. Labels are now supported on Files resource, available through the API, the Python SDK and the JavaScript SDK.from cognite.client import CogniteClientfrom cognite.client.data_classes import LabelFilterc = CogniteClient()my_label_filter = LabelFilter(contains_all=["WELL LOG", "VERIFIED"])file_list = c.files.list(labels=my_label_filter) As a data engineer, you can now classify files by what kind of file it is. Application developers can build good end-user experiences and let users browse files by category. For example, end users can browse files grouped as P&IDs, logic diagrams, and datasheets.Enhanced lineage information for filesThe new directoryPrefix property allows you to store and filter information about the directory in the source system where the file originates from. The new functionality is available in the API and the Python SDK.from cognite.client import CogniteClientc = CogniteClient()file_list = c.files.list( limit=5, directory_prefix="/usr/local/share/jupyter/") Configurable aggregation alignmentWe are introducing a new configuration option for aggregation in synthetic time series: alignment.New option enables you to:Create weekly aggregates that start on specific days of the week, for example, Saturday, or Monday. Create aggregates that align to different time zones.For example, the chart below shows the daily average chlorine indicator for city water aligned to two different time zones: GMT+0 and GMT+3.In the above graph, the new alignment option allowed us to align daily averages to timestamps in the desired time zones:Daily averages aligned to UTC/GMT+0: ts{externalId='houston.ro.REMOTE_AI[34]', alignment=1599609600000, aggregate='average', granularity='24h'} Daily averages aligned to UTC/GMT+3: ts{externalId='houston.ro.REMOTE_AI[34]', alignment=1599620400000, aggregate='average', granularity='24h'}By default, aggregation with synthetic time series is aligned to Thursday 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970.The new parameter is available in the Synthetic Time Series API, and can be used as part of query expressions without needing to update your SDK, as well as part of custom queries in Cognite Data Source for Grafana 2.0+.

Search for work orders in a work planWhen you are working with revisions and work plans, you can now easily search for work orders within the work plan. Type in any part of the work order ID in the search field located at the top of the Work Plan page. Søk etter arbeidsordrer i en arbeidsplanNår du jobber med revisjoner og arbeidsplaner kan du nå enkelt søke etter arbeidsorder i en arbeidsplan. Skriv inn hvilken som helst del av id-en til en arbeidsordre i søkefeltet plassert øverst på Arbeidsplan-siden.

Cognite Data Fusion lets you fuse industrial data from multiple sources, making it easy to build applications using industrial data. Now end users of applications can easily search and browse for data using terms that they know with our release of labels.With labels you as an IT manager or data engineer can create a predefined set of managed terms that you can use to annotate and group assets.You can organize the labels in a way that makes sense in your business and use the labels to make it easier to find what you want.For example, you can create a label called pump and apply it to all asset resources that represent pumps, and then filter assets to see only pumps. Labels lets you annotate assets by what they are, in terms more familiar to domain experts, than what is present in the source system.Labels are available through:Cognite API v1 Our SDKs The Cognite Power BI connector The Cognite Data Source for GrafanaTry it out, and let us know what you think!

After we released the first version of time series data quality monitoring, we've seen an unprecedented demand for ensuring that time series data is continuously reliable.It's important for end users of apps and dashboards to know when they can -- and importantly when they cannot -- rely on data to make operational decisions. That means that you as a data scientist or application developer need to communicate to the end user what the data quality status is.You can now easily report live data quality status in dashboards and applications using our data quality monitoring service. The monitoring service creates live data quality metrics, available as time series in Cognite Data Fusion, that you can display in your application -- ensuring that end users know the quality of the data that they are using.Try it out! Learn more in our guide to report data quality status in apps and dashboards.To enable this in your project the service account used by the data quality monitoring service needs to be updated. Go to quality monitoring in Console and follow the instructions on the banner. Note: You need IAM capabilities to do thisBONUS UPDATE: Additionally, you can now efficiently troubleshoot data quality alerts in the app through our updated UI. Quickly see which time series break which rules, explore the historical time series data, and click through to find more details about the data set that the time series belongs to.
