 Since last week, I have not been able to trigger any transformations via the Playground API.({{baseUrl}}/api/playground/projects/{{project}}/transformations/:id/run)I am getting :404 Not foundwith response body: {"code":4(Yes; a incomplete json)I noticed also that the API has now been included in API v1. Is maybe this error related to this change?Related (?):I can see that when I run a “GET” using the new endpoint, I get the same error ({"code":4). Have you been a bit quick in the implementation and running a GET on the v1 API from the playground API? I can also mention that it does actually work using the new v1 endpoint, so this will solve the problem. My problem is, off course, that I am currently using the Playground API which is currently failing and I have to replace the logic and test/release it (Taking extra time).Working Example:POST {{baseUrl}}/api/v1/projects/{{project}}/transformations/runThe example from Postman is with externalId, so you will have to replace it with “id”

Hi,Some feature requests I would like to see in Charts:-Function like pandas where. We have sensors with for instance zero point error. In many calculations it can be useful to set values bellow a point to zero to avoid larger errors to sum up over time.-When Charts and AIR are integrated it would be nice to have more logic and comparing functions. For instance to set an alarm if only certain conditions are met.-Writing own python code in a function block would have been nice, but I guess that could be a problem with the security?-Text box to comment in the function blocks would be nice.-Xy-plot and table output would be nice. If export to Grafana is fixed the function is available there.-Custom units or more default units in calculations.

Hi everyone,We in are running a series where we are challenging the community to model a certain problem in CDF. The aim with this series is to facilitate discussion and invite the community members to share interesting solutions and techniques.In this second entry of the series we will focus on the SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog (STAC).The SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog (STAC) specification provides a common language to describe a range of geospatial information, so it can more easily be indexed and discovered. A 'spatiotemporal asset' is any file that represents information about the earth captured in a certain space and time.The goal is for all providers of spatiotemporal assets (Imagery, SAR, Point Clouds, Data Cubes, Full Motion Video, etc) to expose their data as SpatioTemporal Asset Catalogs (STAC), so that new code doesn't need to be written whenever a new data set or API is released.(source)In C4IR Ocean, we are primarily dealing with geospatial data. The data originates from mult

What are the alternatives for scoping read/write rights to different users?Dataset is the most intuitive way of limiting access rights to subsets of data, but if i would like to share data that is scattered across different datasets, but  easily identifiable by sharing a common label, are there any options?

My name is Sigrid Schaanning, and I have written this post together with Atussa Koushan. We both work as Software Engineers in Cognite’s Disruptive-MVP team, which focuses on robotics and computer vision. In this post, we will look further into how to develop a computer vision model, from gathering data to deploying the model on a robot. First, let’s set the scene for what we are trying to achieve in this post.Imagine performing routine inspections at an industrial facility or an oil platform. You might have to read and note down the values of multiple gauges three times a day - every single day. Or, you might have to inspect different parts of the facility to check for corrosion or wear damage.Routine inspections could be tedious and repetitive work, and it might take place in surroundings which are dangerous to humans.Robots, on the other hand, have no perception of tedious work and they could also operate in hostile environments. Robots, together with computer vision, constitute a p

Hello Charts Group! On November 3rd 15:00-15:45 CET, we will be hosting a live webinar to present highlights from the latest CDF release, with a special focus on CHARTS AND THE CHARTS EARLY ADOPTER GROUP.You will learn about why we’re building Charts, what problems it can solve, and how to use key features and functionalities. We’ll demonstrate how to leverage this new CDF functionality as we build and solve real use cases in Charts step by step.

Hi Community Friends! We thought it might be nice to know who’s who, while we’re actively engaging in our community. I’ll start! My name is Anita, and I’m your Community Director. I joined Cognite in September 2020, and jumped right on the mission of establishing Cognite’s customer community. I’ve worked in a variety of industries, and am passionate about working at the crossroads of sustainable business development and digital transformation. I live in Lommedalen, Norway (translated “the Pocket Valley”), where we have long winters with deep snow. I love horseback riding (Islandic horses in particular), and I have a passion for Italian wine and food.Here’s a fun fact: my grandfather’s brother, who was raised in the remote mountains of Hallingdal in Norway, worked as a chemist with Thomas Alva Edison. The letters he wrote home made me realize from early on that no matter your background, you can change the world. I’m super excited to facilitate for all of you to meet, discuss and learn

Hi everyone,We in C4IR Ocean are starting a series where we are challenging the community to model a certain problem in CDF. The aim with this series is to facilitate discussion and invite community members to share interesting solutions and techniques.The first challenge focuses on Open LineageOpenLineage is an Open standard for metadata and lineage collection designed to instrument jobs as they are running. It defines a generic model of run, job, and dataset entities identified using consistent naming strategies. The core lineage model is extensible by defining specific facets to enrich those entities.In C4IR Ocean, we are dealing with data from multiple providers. Some datasets are open and publicly available, others are closed. It is therefore important to keep track of where data is coming from, and what transformations have been applied to the data after it is read from the provider.We are seeing a good landscape of data lineage solutions - both open and closed source. At the sam

One of the main objectives of the first deployment with an inspection robot is getting your organization ready for robotics. A properly scoped deployment will contribute to engaging the field workers and provide insights on what it takes to keep robots operational on a day-to-day basis. This will lay the foundation for high return on investment for all the following deployments. If the scoping fails, there is a risk of losing trust in robots and gaining less willingness to change in your organization. But fear not. In this post, we’re summarizing our best practices when assisting our customers to scope out their first deployment of an inspection robot.    Selecting the appropriate area of deployment It is common that there is a need to deploy robots in harmful or remote environments. These can be areas that may be highly corrosive, have a risk of explosive gases, have powerful magnetic fields, radiation from heat or nuclear etc. When selecting the appropriate robot for a plant, we reco

In the CDF docs I see there is a PI and OPCUA connector. Many industry 4.0 community members see MQTT rather than OPCUA as the future of Industrial IoT cloud based communication, as it is lightweight, report by exception, client driven, etc…If I want to onboard a facility that has an IoT MQTT gateway, how does Cognite recommend we integrate? I have used Azure IoTHub and Azure Functions to connect and transform the data in the past. Do you have a reference architecture for this? Can we connect to the gateway directly with a CDF connector, or do you recommend using Azure IoTHub and Functions (or similar GCP/AWS)?Also Azure has some neat tools like IoT Device Provisioning Services, be nice to know a POV on if/how to utilize those. Thanks! 

The majority of the hydropower fleet is pretty old. It’s not uncommon to see a 100-year-old power plant still in operation. While it may be a great piece of engineering, how can you access operational data on your laptop or smartphone? After all, you may not want to travel every day to very remote locations. At Ringerikskraft’s Hønefoss II power station in Norway, we installed a set of cameras to passively record alarm events, read gauges, and stream this information to Cognite Data Fusion. It is all connected, so if an alarm goes off, I get an SMS notification and can quickly look up what is happening. Pretty cool, or what? I would like to hear your thoughts. How have you tackled the challenge of digitalizing aging infrastructure?Read the full story 

Hi there,I am looking for resources on CDF templates API.So far I the best introduction I have found is the Python SDK documentation, as well as the information at docs.cognite.com which focuses on using templates in fusion.Can you provide more information about how to use the templates API?

I am trying to stream data from CDF to Azure Event Hub with the Python SDK and cannot find anything related to streaming datasets. Only option so far (as I know) is dps = c.datapoints.retrieve_latest(id=184691546499795)which would need a trigger of some sort to keep running. Data from CDF are so called timeseries from different types of sensors. Is there any documentation on Streaming Data for CDF that I could look at or is Streaming really supported? 

Hi, When developing with the Cognite python SDK, a common restriction is  the API imposed restrictions on queries. Quering time-series, for example, is restricted by 100 asset-ids.  I believe the Python SDK should recognize these constraint violations and batch / concurrently dispatch requests in chunks that do not violate constraints. Optionally with a performance-warning to the developer.Is this sane, or do you think that the developer/customer should maintain a wrapper on the SDK for batching each endpoint (as we’ve currently done at Statnett)?
