Time Series Insights

The Time Series Insights block is an interactive UI component that visualizes a large amount of time-oriented data. Time Series Insights allows comparing data at run-time based on asset ID by dropping markers on the chart, as well as panning and zooming, and can show and hide specific assets or parameters via the hierarchy panel. Time Series Insights connects directly to Azure through its Environment FQDN, Tenant Id, Client Id, and Client Secret. For more details, visit the official Azure Time Series Insights documentation.

Common Properties
The visibility property is common to most Blocks;
​See the Common Properties article for more details on common appearance properties.​
Show Legend
Determines if the legend is displayed or not.
Show Hierarchy
This determines whether the Hierarchy is displayed. The hierarchy is the left panel containing a tree grid that allows you to modify the selected assets and parameters.
Allow Hierarchy Selection
This determines whether the hierarchies dropdown at the top of the hierarchy panel is shown. The dropdown allows you to narrow down the hierarchies shown to the items in the selected top-level hierarchy.

Pan & Zoom Color
This determines the color of the Pan & Zoom component.
Interval Size
This determines the default value for the Interval Size slider. The slider allows you to fine-tune the granularity of the displayed data. The displayed line chart data will be averaged over this interval.
Range
This determines the starting date for the Pan & Zoom. The end date of the Time Series Chart is determined by the row with the latest timestamp. The Pan & Zoom range will update automatically with live data.
Initial Selection
This determines the time interval that is initially selected in the Pan & Zoom component and, correspondingly, the line chart. The selection will always start at the right side of the Pan & Zoom component.
Show Tooltip On Hover
This determines whether a tooltip will appear when the cursor hovers over a line. The tooltip will display the values of the hovered point on the line.
Enable Zoom
Determines whether you can click and select on the chart to zoom into the selection.
Show X Axis
This determines whether the x-axis line and labels for the line chart are shown.
Show Y Axis
This determines whether the y-axis line and labels for the line chart are shown.
Default Y Axis Type
This determines the default Y Axis type, which can be changed at run-time using the button at the top-left corner of the line chart. 
If set to "Stacked" the selected parameters will be separated into different panes stacked vertically. If set to "Shared" the selected parameters will share a single pane with a single y-axis from the lowest to highest values in any line. If set to "Overlap", the selected parameters will share a single pane with multiple y-axes, with the lowest and highest value of each line chart displayed on the axis at the bottom and top.
Show Dots
Determines whether the points on the lines will display as dots.
Interpolation Function
This property allows you to define how the lines behave in the line charts.

You can specify a custom color for each parameter in the line chart. If the number of parameters is greater than the number of colors specified, the colors will repeat.
Behavior
Recommendations
The Alerts for selected Recommendations will be displayed at run-time as markers on the chart: the Alert's created time is used as the timestamp and its title as the text.
Known limitations:
The marker title space is limited and the Alert title may be truncated.
Some HTML special characters (e.g.<) used in the Alert title will be encoded.
Entity ID
Specify an Entity ID field to filter the Recommendation Alerts.
Data Source
Use Variables
This allows you to choose between manually entering a value for the Environment FQDN, Tenant Id, Client Id, and Client Secret or selecting from static variables.
Environment FQDN, Tenant Id, Client Id, and Client Secret
These are the connection variables necessary for authentication and authorization for the Azure Time Series Insights API. For more information about the Azure Time Series Insights API, read the official Time Series Insights documentation.​
The Environment FQDN, Tenant Id, Client Id, and Client Secret properties are required for the Time Series Insights Block.
Auto Refresh
This determines whether the Time Series Insights will automatically poll Azure for updated data.
Refresh Rate
The rate at which the Time Series Insights will poll for updated data.
Data
Default Selection
You can choose the line charts that the Time Series Insights will start with. If Group By Asset is disabled, you can select which parameters will be selected by default. If Group By Asset is enabled and a Hierarchy Data Source selected, you will be able to select which Hierarchy items will be selected by default for each parameter.
