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 adapter to collect from the data sources.

Note: When generating data selection items using data discovery, this adapter sanitizes the streamId name for JSON and XML. For additional information, see Discovered data selection items.

Postman

To configure data selection using Postman:

1. To initialize the configuration, use the PUT method in conjunction with the http://localhost:5590/api/v1/configuration/<componentId>/DataSelection REST endpoint.

   Note: If you installed the adapter to listen on a non-default port, update 5590 to the port number in use.

2. Copy and paste an example configuration for data selection into the Body section.

   For sample JSONs, see the Examples section.

3. Update the example JSON parameters for your environment.

4. Select Send to push the configuration to the adapter.

For a list of other REST operations you can perform, like updating or replacing a health endpoints configuration, see the REST URLs.
