Overview

You can synchronize attributes of the model with Insights Hub. All entities and attributes are created automatically in Insights Hub and the real-time data of the time series data is synchronized. Find more information on the use of asynchronous Insights Hub APIs here:

Consider the following aspects about synchronization from IIH Essentials to Insights Hub:

For every entity of type anchor.asset-base (or inherited children) an asset with its own asset type is created in Insights Hub.
For every entity of type anchor.aspect-base an aspect type is created in Insights Hub and added as an aspect to its according asset-type.
For every attribute a dynamic variable is created and added to its according aspect type in Insights Hub.
Attributes with the data type composition are not created in Insights Hub, as there is no according object, but their aspect value is created as aspect type (see entity of type anchor.aspect-base)
If no attribute has been linked with an entity in the hierarchy, no asset or according types are created in Insights Hub.
If an attribute has been linked directly with an entity of type anchor.asset-base, an implicit aspect type is created in Insights Hub.
If an entity has a child entity, but no attribute, an empty asset type and asset is created in Insights Hub.

The firewall must be opened for two ports

443 – Standard HTTPS port for communication with the Insights Hub REST interface
