Manage Instances
Note: To access the Digital Twins feature, you need a Scale or Growth Litmus license.
After you create instances, you can navigate to Digital Twins > Instances to manage them.
Click the icons for Show devices grid or Show devices table to change how you view your instances.
Use the search bar to search by instance name.
From the Show devices grid view, you can use instance tiles to access management options. Refer to the image and callouts below.
Action | Details |
|---|---|
[1] Action menu | The action menu displays the following options.
|
[2] Copy Instance Topic | This option allows you to copy the instance topic. |
[3] Disable/Enable Instance | This option allows you to disable or enable the instance. |
[4] Edit | Update the associated model, instance name, interval, and select/unselect the Flatten Hierarchy check box. |
[5] Delete | This option allows you to delete the instance. |
Note: When Flatten Hierarchy is selected, it will take a nested JSON object and convert it into a JSON object with one layer using dot notation. This is useful when sending JSON objects to InfluxDB, because InfluxDB does not accept nested JSON objects.
You can click the Instance tile (grid view) or Instance name (table view) to view the instance details. See the Step 2: Configure Instance section from Add an Instance for details on updating the parameters. After making changes make sure to save the updates and then Restart the instance.
