The following section explains how to add and modify data selection items for each adapter using adapter-specific identifiers such as -nodeId, -topic, -metricName, -dataType, -valueField,-valueColumn, -scheduleId, or -queryID.
Note: The identifier for selecting a data item is adapter-specific. The -id parameter in generic examples represents a placeholder and is not a valid parameter for any adapter.
The examples in this topic use the default port number 5590. If your adapter uses a different port, you will have to include that in the command. For instance: edgecmd -port 5591 <RestOfTheCommand>.
Also, the examples in the table show different componentIds, so make sure to use the right componentId for your adapter.
