Import time series data

You can upload new time series data to an aspect of an asset as a json file. You can also use previously stored times series data and import it to an aspect.

Objective

  • You want to upload time series data to an aspect of an asset.
  • You want to view the uploaded data.

Prerequisite

  • The time series data to be uploaded must be in a *.json file format that is referring to https://documentation.mindsphere.io/downloads/example.json
  • The data in json file needs to be in ascending timestamp order.
  • Your asset is a performance asset (not supported yet for simulation asset).
  • Variables that are mentioned in the json file must match the selected aspect.
  • The maximum volume of time series data cannot exceed 1 GB for performance asset in an import job.
  • Import jobs for performance assets are allowed for data in future upto 7 days only.
  • Import jobs for performance assets are rejected if timestamps with higher precision than milliseconds are used.
  • You have the Asset Manager administrator role.

Procedure

  1. In the "Asset" tab, select an asset for which you want to upload your data.
  2. To navigate to the asset's aspects in the "Aspect" area click Aspect .
  3. To open the time series import dialog, click time series import .
  4. To start the import process click "Start import job".
    You can find the status of your import jobs in "Import Job overview".
  5. To upload new times series data click "Upload file".

Note

Previously stored time series data is overwritten when uploading new data for the same time period. The data will be preprocessed and compressed before upload. Therefore, the shown file size might not always match the your local *.json file.

Result

  • The time series data has been uploaded to Industrial IoT.
  • You can now view times series on the aspect of an asset.
