The latest version of Bosch IoT Insights comes with various improvements.
Scatter chart now support ‘discrete’ signals / steps
The Scatter chart was extended to support ‘discrete’ signals / steps. Related to this, the following options were added/updated:
- A new “Shape” option that determines the line shape – linear(default), spline and step-wise line shapes.
- Also a new option “Fill” is available to highlight the area. Default value is none.
- “Display mode” is extended with option “None” – which will hide the actual line and only show the filled area.
Table Widget Filters: Multi value selection
New filter logic for columns with up to 25 unique values. Until now the only filter option was by conditions like ‘contains’ which are now only presented if there are more than 25 unique values in a column. For up to 25 unique values you get the multi-selection field populated with these values, so that you can directly select the values you are looking for.
Calendar – Multiple mail recipients
With this release a calendar event can have multiple recipients for confirmation E-Mails. Until now there was only a owner and one confirmation E-Mail recipient possible. This was changed so that several E-Mail addresses can be added in the Confirmation E-Mail Addresses field. For privacy reasons E-Mails are send individually to each recipient.
Query Templates now support FIND, COUNT, DISTINCT operators
In addition to aggregation which is already supported by Query Templates we implemented find, distinct and count as options in the Template Definition.
Dependent on your use case this operators provide a more performant and easier way to solve them.
With these additional operations Query Templates now offer the same query options as the Data Analyzer.
Reduce impact of MongoDB Replication lags
We identified places where something was written into the Database and extracted short time afterwards in our UI.
Because of the replication between different MongoDB nodes configurations such as dashboards did show older states then from the user expected.
To prevent this behavior we optimized the read behavior to access those information directly from the same node.
Still the general concept of mongoDB can in some unexpected cases still cause lags, for further details see the distributed node concept on MongoDB.
Preparation of time series functionality
To prepare the integration of the Time Series Functionality we are adapting several places in Bosch IoT Insights and gather experience in closed ALPHA Test phase. In the past two sprints we introduced the possibility to define a corresponding collection type so time series process data collections can be created.
As a next step we will work on the ability to save data to this new collection type.
Since this feature is in early stages of development, it is not yet visible for customers and will be rolled out all at once, when all necessary parts are available.
