Integrating modelId from Azure Digital Twin into Time Series Insights

Hi there,

What I'm currently trying to get my head around is the ability to integrate the model Id from an Azure Digital Twin instance within Time Series Insights. I understand that Time Series Insights (Gen2) accepts the datatype of a string, however when I try to initiate that state, it doesn't appear within TSI when a connection is successfully established with Azure Digital Twin and Time Series Insights.

Is there potentially a way to define this 'modelId' so that it can be viewed as an instance or even as a hierarchy within Time Series Insights, so that I don't manually have to this step?

Many thanks,

Matas

    @Matas Kaucikas , I am assuming you are trying to insert modelID as one of the instance field of an instance in TSI through our ingestion service.
    If that is the case, unfortunately we cant insert instance fields through our ingestor service. Instead you can call our API to insert instance field and its values. The API could be called from your "ProcessDTUpdatetoTSI" function or using upload JSON option in TSI model page.
    In either case, you cant upload the DTDL model directly as you are trying in the screenshot provided by you. TSI has its own syntax please refer to the attachment for details

    Please refer to the following documentation for information about TSI model, Patch Syntax and API details!

    Please let me know if I could be of further help!

    @Radhakrishnan Srinivasan , Thank you for the clarification in terms of the process of implementing ADT models into TSI directly.

    My next question would really be if there's a way to convert the DTDL model into a TSI compatible syntax? For e.g. adding the put parameters within the DTDL model and uploading the JSON via TSI directly or is there's further adjustments that would need to be made?

    Do let me know if this makes sense!
