Overview - Insights¶
Operations Engineers are able to add Insights to Assets which is either linked to a point in time or a time range.
Note
Insights is the new terminology name for the depreciated name Data Tags.
These Insights can be used for any reason, for example tag important events of a certain time.
From there, the Insights section surfaces similar Insights, allowing Operations to create Tasks that run automatically whenever new matching Insights are detected.
Operations can choose from a list of existing for predefined Insight names. They can also create new ones where required.
In this section we show the Platform Administrator how to manage these at scale.
Note
Developers and Data Scientists will also find this section useful when they want to either
- mark certain events automatically when they happen for both future analysis or highlights for Operations in the Data Explorer.
- Download the Insights for analysis and improved model training.
Any insights created programmatically will appear in the Data Explorer in the Kelvin UI.
