Quick Start¶
This is a step-wise guide to get you started with Falkonry Time Series Intelligence. This guide covers the account setup activities that involve configuring the account, data connectivity and organizing signals.
Set Up Your Account¶
Access to TSI is by invite only and provisioned by your Falkonry Sales team. Once your account is approved, you will receive an invitation email to access your TSI account. Please verify your access link and log in to that account.
Details about managing users can be found in User Management.
Connect a Data Source¶
Once your account is active, you can bring data into your account and perform different kinds of analytical processing and visualize your time series data.
Once you have identified the source of data, you will need to configure the data parsing settings and test them by previewing the data.
Details about connecting to data sources can be found in Connections.
After the connection gets created, you can configure it with data parsing settings and test the connectivity by previewing the data. Click on the connection name, to configure and test the settings.
Details about connection settings can be found in Connections.
When you are comfortable with the settings and the test results are satisfactory, you can put the connection into Production mode, whereby TSI will load any data received over the Connection into Signals.
Managing Signals¶
As a Production Connection starts receiving data, it will detect new signals, and these can be reviewed under Signals > All Signals view. The Approved Signals tab shows the signals that are approved by the administrator for use with TSI whereas the Draft Signals tab shows the signals that are not processing data from inbound connections until approved by the administrator.
You can approve one or more Draft Signals from the Signals > All Signals > Draft Signals view. Before approval, you should validate the signal type since this cannot be changed after approval. You can document the Signal by adding description and unit information. After approval, any new data for the Signal arriving through any Production Connection will be automatically processed.
Organize Signals¶
A Signal Tree helps you keep your Signals organized, which is particularly necessary to reduce the effort to locate signals and to create dynamic views based on metadata. Depending on your requirements, one or more Signal Trees can be created. You can create a Signal Tree from Signals > Trees view or by importing a file containing the signals related to different Signal Tree nodes.
Learn more about Signal Trees and the different ways to organize signals.
Once your Connection is set up, Signals are approved and associated with a Signal Tree, you are ready to start using time series data with TSI's visualization and analysis tools.
