Insert Data - JWT token

tip

To be able to insert data, a logger user is needed and a "retention to write" needs to be attached to the logger. (See Capture docs)

Endpoint

URL	https://capture-vintecc.com/api/data
METHOD	POST

Headers

Header	Value
AuthVersion	V0.0.1
DataVersion	V0.0.3
Content-Type	application/json
Authorization	Bearer <Received auth token>

Body

This is an example with 2 rows of the QualityGradingResults measurement (table) with 1 field (QualityGrade), multiple tags and a timestamp.

At the bottom, we have another timestamp which contains the time of the message itself.

info

Timestamps are specified in UTC time.

Field Types

Primitives

float           "sensor1": 30.0 
Int             "sensor1": 30   
String          "sensor1": "30"
Bool            "sensor1": true

Objects

"Defect": {
    "X": 250,
    "Y": 10000,
    "Size-X": 50,
    "Size-Y": 100,
}

Objects like the example above will result in flatted fields in the db with integer values.

Defect_X	Defect_Y	Defect_Size-X	Defect_Size-Y
250	10000	50	100

Array of objects

 "Defects": [
    {
        "X": 250,
        "Y": 10000,
        "Size-X": 50,
        "Size-Y": 100,
        "#Type": "defect1"
    },
    {
        "X": 300,
        "Y": 10000,
        "Size-X": 50,
        "Size-Y": 100,
        "#Type": "defect1"
    },
    {
        "X": 250,
        "Y": 10000,
        "Size-X": 50,
        "Size-Y": 100,
        "#Type": "defect2"
    }
]

The following example will result in:

Defects_X	Defects_Y	Defects_Size-X	Defects_Size-Y	Type (tag)	arrIndex (tag)
250	10000	50	100	defect1	0
300	10000	50	100	defect1	1
250	10000	50	100	defect2	2

Because all these equal fields in the array of objects have the same timestamp, we need to add a new tag to make them unique. Therefore we added the arrIndex tag, this tag specifies the position in the array. Another way to create tags with objects or an array of objects is adding # as a prefix before the variable name. In the example above we have the #Type variable which will be added as a tag in the database.

Example

{
    "Metrics": [
        {
            "Name": "MeasurementName",
            "Tags": {
                "SerialNumber": "123456",
                "MachineId": "Machine1"
            },
            "Fields": {
                "sensor1": 20
            },
            "Timestamp": "1585554027"
        },
        {
            "Name": "MeasurementName",
            "Tags": {
                "SerialNumber": "123457",
                "MachineId": "Machine2"
            },
            "Fields": {
                "sensor1": 30
            },
            "Timestamp": "1585554028"
        }
    ],
    "Timestamp": "1588760160"
}

Result in Database

timestamp	SerialNumber (tag)	MachineId (tag)	sensor1 (field)
1585554027	123456	Machine1	20.0
1588760160	123457	Machine2	30.0
