Configure data selection

In addition to the data source configuration, you need to provide a data selection configuration to specify the data you want the DNP3 adapter to collect from your outstations.

Depending on your data source configuration, your data selection configuration can be pre-populated by discovery. For additional information, see Configure discovery.

To configure a DNP3 data source:

1. Use the PUT method in conjunction with the api/v1/configuration/<ComponentId>/DataSelection REST endpoint to initialize the configuration.

2. Using a text editor, create an empty text file that includes an example configuration for a DNP3 data selection. See Data selection example for an example of a valid DNP3 data selection configuration.

3. Update the example with JSON parameters for your environment. For a list of all available parameters, see Data selection parameters.

4. Save the file in JSON format. For example, ConfigureDataSelection.json.

5. Open a command line session and change directory to the location of ConfigureDataSelection.json.

6. Enter the following cURL command (which uses the PUT method) to initialize the data selection configuration.

   curl -d "@ConfigureDataSelection.json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PUT "http://localhost:5590/api/v1/configuration/DNP3-1/DataSelection"

   Note: If you installed the adapter to listen on a non-default port, update 5590 to the port number in use. If you use a component ID other than DNP3-1, update the endpoint with your chosen component ID and stream ID.

   For a list of other REST operations you can perform, like updating or deleting a data selection configuration, refer to the REST URLs table.

Note: Replace <ComponentId> with the Id of your DNP3 component. For example, DNP3-1.
