Setting up writing to the future
In the Io-base database, it is possible to write data into the future. This writing into the future can be parameterized to define a maximum tolerance time. In concrete terms, values written in the future beyond this time will be rejected.
Log in to Io-base and click the button at the top right of your screen, highlighted below :
The Io-base administration page opens.
Go to the Administration/System Configuration menu.
An input field is available to configure the Indaba data writing settings.
Enter a value that defines the maximum allowed time for future data entry.
The period is entered in minutes. For example, if you enter "120", it means that it will be impossible to write data in the database for a date/time greater than 120 minutes in the future. If it is 3pm, no data can be entered after 5pm.
Note : The period is applied to all the metrics in the database.
If you wish to enter data in the future without any restrictions, you must enter 0 in the tolerance period.
Once you have entered the value you need, click on Save.
Partial write settings
The "Authorize partial writes" parameter determines Indaba's behavior if a data write request includes both authorized and unauthorized metrics.
By default (unchecked), the request is refused (return code 403) and no data is sent to indaba.
If partial writing is allowed, only authorized metrics will be transmitted to Indaba. A '202 Accepted' return code will indicate that the request has been accepted.
