Add data point (event)

While viewing the data for a stream, you can manually add data points (referred to in the UI as events) to a stream. Any data point that you add to a stream can then be visualized while viewing the stream's data or viewing the stream in a Trend session.

Note: SDS data points should not be confused with event data ingressed into CONNECT data services. See Events.

To add a data point to a stream, complete the following steps.

1. In the left pane, select Data Management > Sequential Data Store.

2. Select the stream to add a data point for and choose View Data.

   Tip: Use Search queries to find your stream.

3. Select Add Event.

   The Add Event panel opens.

4. (Required) Configure the key property for the data point.

   The key property is the index value for the data point. This property is usually a DateTime value, but there is no restriction as to what data type the index can be within SDS.

5. Configure the remaining property values for the data point.

   For enumerated data types, values map to the friendly name rather than an integer.

6. Select Save.

   The data point is added to the stream. You can view the new data point in your list of data values creating a ranged query that includes your new data point.
