Configuring advanced datastream settings

This reference explains how to configure advanced settings for datastreams.

Configure advanced data collection settings for a datastream to specify how Adverity collects data from the datastream.

To configure advanced data collection settings for a datastream, follow these steps:

1. Select the workspace you work with in Adverity and then, in the platform navigation menu, click Datastreams.

2. Open the chosen datastream by clicking on its name.

3. In the top navigation panel, click Local Data Retention.

4. Fill in the following fields:

   Extract Filenames

   Choose Unique by fetch to create one data extract for all data collected during a fetch.

   Choose Unique by day to create a different data extract for each day of the time range specified in a fetch. Use this option to ensure that the data in the datastream is distinct and there are no duplicate rows.

   Key Date Column

   Select the date column in your datastream.

   Retention type

   Specify how Adverity retains fetched data. Choose one of the following options:

   • To retain all data indefinitely, select Retain All.

   • To retain data for a specific number of fetches, select Retain N fetches and specify the number of fetches in the Retention Number field.

   • To retain data for a specific number of data extracts, select Retain N extracts and specify the number of data extracts in the Retention Number field.

   • To retain data for a specific number of days after it is fetched, select Retain N days and specify the number of days in the Retention Number field.

   Remove if empty

   Check this box to automatically delete data extracts without any rows when the fetch runs.

   Prune instantly

   Deleted data extracts are retained for a grace period by default. Check this box to permanently erase deleted data extracts without the usual grace period.

5. Click Save.

6. In the top navigation panel, click Settings.

7. Fill in the following fields:

   Fetch data sequentially (for advanced users only)

   Fetch jobs are executed simultaneously by default. Check this box to execute fetch jobs in sequential order, one after another.

   Share with children

   By default, child workspaces cannot access the datastreams of their parent workspace. Check this box to make this datastream available for all child workspaces of the workspace you currently use.

8. Click Save.
