Example

The simplest following example perform on given below reading object

{
    "readings": {
        "sinusoid": -0.978147601,
        "a": {
            "sinusoid": "2.0"
        }
    },
    "asset": "sinusoid",
    "id": "a1bedea3-8d80-47e8-b256-63370ccfce5b",
    "ts": "2021-06-28 14:03:22.106562+00:00",
    "user_ts": "2021-06-28 14:03:22.106435+00:00"
}

  1. To replace an asset apply a configuration would be as follows

  • Operation : asset

  • Find : sinusoid

  • Replace With : sin

Output

{
    "readings": {
        "sinusoid": -0.978147601,
        "a": {
            "sinusoid": 2.0
        }
    },
    "asset": "sin",
    "id": "a1bedea3-8d80-47e8-b256-63370ccfce5b",
    "ts": "2021-06-28 14:03:22.106562+00:00",

}

  1. To replace a datapoint apply a configuration would be as follows

  • Operation : datapoint

  • Find : sinusoid

  • Replace With : sin

Output

{
    "readings": {
        "sin": -0.978147601,
        "a": {
            "sin": 2.0
        }
    },
    "asset": "sinusoid",
    "id": "a1bedea3-8d80-47e8-b256-63370ccfce5b",
    "ts": "2021-06-28 14:03:22.106562+00:00",
    "user_ts": "2021-06-28 14:03:22.106435+00:00"
}

  1. To replace both asset and datapoint apply a configuration would be as follows

  • Operation : both

  • Find : sinusoid

  • Replace With : sin

Output

{
    "readings": {
        "sin": -0.978147601,
        "a": {
            "sin": 2.0
        }
    },
    "asset": "sin",
    "id": "a1bedea3-8d80-47e8-b256-63370ccfce5b",
    "ts": "2021-06-28 14:03:22.106562+00:00",
    "user_ts": "2021-06-28 14:03:22.106435+00:00"
}
