FAQ

Here we collect some questions and answers which might help in understanding this magical TimeIO-Universe 🦄

Where should the metadata go to

• Question: How would I then 'tell' my "parsing process" which information is contained in which columns? For example: Column 5 contains values for air temperature and has the unit °C.
• Answer: This is meta data information. This only happens afterwards via datastream linking in the SMS (Sensor Management System). The columns of the data in the database are linked with the metadata from the SMS.

Use Sync-Software for MinIO

• Question: Can I use any sync tool on (like Free File Syn) to directly sync to the Min IO SFTP
• Answer: Unfortunately not. Free file sync uses, among other things, "sftp rename", which is unfortunately not supported by the MinIO SFTP implementation. However you could use an external SFTP such as files.ufz.de which allows these kind of syncing.
  • Instead of
    • Logger --> Field Computer ---[FreeFileSync]----> TimeIO SFTP ---> MinIO
  • You could go for
    • Logger --> Field Computer ---[FreeFileSync]----> files.ufz.de -----[defined as external SFTP in TimeIO] ----> MinIO
