Add event

While viewing the data for a stream, you can add events, which are data values that the user manually adds to a stream. Any events 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 events should not be confused with event data ingressed into CONNECT data services. See Events.

To add an event to a stream, complete the following steps.

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

2. Select the stream to add an event 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 event.

   The key property is the index value for the event. 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 event.

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

6. Select Save.

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