Configure data filters

Adapters can be configured to perform data filtering to save network bandwidth. Every data item in the data selection configuration can be assigned the Id of a data filter. The adapter then filters data for those data items based on the data filter configuration.

Note: If data filters are enabled and data quality changes, both the old and current data quality values are passed on.

Postman

To configure data filters using Postman:

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