but we are going to do here is look at
how to set up and configure the oSIsoft
by context provided what this agent does
is it provides context of reference data
originating from an oSIsoft PI system to
the rest of the data stream what I want
to do now is to add this edge into my
canvas so I'm going to go to the toolbox
and search for it you will find it under
context providers to add it to your data
stream click on the edges and drag it to
the canvas as soon as you drop it you
will see that a default name will be
given to it you rename this agent click
on the white space and start typing
click somewhere else on the canvas and
click Save
to configure this agent click on it and
click on configure
first make sure you using the create
collection if not select another one
from the drop-down then you need to set
your polling interval because this agent
is a context provider it will get all
the data it needs and store it in memory
if you set your polling interval to 10
it will refresh the cache every 10
seconds but this example I'm just going
to leave it as default which is 10
seconds in the identification section
add the Web API URL you'd like to
connect to then add your username then
add your password
in the configuration section select the
server you'd like to connect to then
select the database where the data can
be found then select the template you'd
like to use and the elements that you'd
like to include I'm going to select
Houston and Little Rock lastly select
the attributes you'd like to include
click apply and click Save
to run your data stream click on publish
to view the live data click on live view
select your agent and click Save and
give it a few seconds to expand the page
