note: Creating gateways, connectors, and doing data backfills have moved into the Model Explorer. Learn more here.
Data backfilling can be used to import large amounts of existing history and/or to fill any data gaps that may occur if connectivity to the data source is lost.
Under normal operations, if communication is lost over the public Internet causing communication to be lost between the gateway and the cloud platform, the system will automatically perform store and forward functionality. When connectivity is resumed the system will automatically backfill and send all buffered data to the ThinkIQ platform.
Should you need to backfill manually, you will find a link on the Overview tab for the connector in the Model Explorer.
The Back-fill Data dialog is shown below.
Select the Start and End Dates by clicking on the date field.
You can Select All and Deselect All, or add or remove tags as needed.
