Data Streams History Actions Data Streams History Actions

From here, the following actions can be performed:

  • Open device information allows for the opening of a temporary dashboard associated with the selected entity
  • Edit allows the editing of the selected entity
  • Historical data displays the chart data in a list format (requires selecting a grouping parameter)
  • Download downloads the data displayed in the chart in CSV format
  • Visualization toggles between different data visualization options on the chart
  • Capture screen: Takes a screenshot of the widget.
  • Duplicate widget: Creates a duplicate of the widget on the dashboard.
  • Copy widget: Copies the widget to another dashboard.
  • Change widget location: Moves the widget to another dashboard.

Configuration

General

  • Refresh Frequency: allows configuring the data refresh frequency displayed in the list.

  • Title: widget title. It can be configured to remain fixed in the widget or only be displayed when it receives focus.

  • About: widget description in Markdown format.

  • Resource Type + EntityKey(s) specifies the resource type and identifier of the entities to be queried (not required)

Columns from which to extract data to display on the graph must be configured. A graph will be generated for each column.

For each piece of data, the following can be configured:

  • Alias a representative name for the column data on the chart
  • Color to distinguish it on the graph
  • Intensity allows for the graph to change shades depending on the value
  • Unit indicates the measurement being displayed on the corresponding axis
  • Chart Type toggles between different data visualization possibilities. Can also be configured globally for all metrics.
  • Axis editor enables the configuration of the Y-axis on the chart to assign discrete values to specific values
  • Formatter tool is a utility that processes each data point, allowing for its modification and/or calculation before it is displayed on the graph. For instance, it can convert discrete data into numerical data for representation.
  • Reduce tool allows code-based reformulation of series data by grouping and similar operations.
  • Remove removes the data stream from the chart

  • Prevent interpolation allows the avoidance of data interpolation where possible
  • Statistical data graph displays a panel with basic statistical values
  • Data Stream template activates the override of the EntityKey in the widget when the dashboard is opened in a device template, taking a data stream from the entity itself at the time of loading

Visualization

From here, you can change some visual aspects of the widget.

  • Background color allows setting a distinctive color for the widget
  • Hide details header panel hides the upper information panel of the widget, freeing up that space
