Index update cycle

Once a tag is indexed, TrendMiner continuously keeps its index up to date. This ensures smooth access to time series data while distributing the load on data sources throughout the day.

A tag is updated according to one of the following update cycles:

  • Every 2 minutes

    Tags in active monitors are updated every 2 minutes. In case calculated tag are monitored their variables are also updated every 2 minutes. The 2 minute update cycle gets priority over all other cycles.

  • Every hour

    This is the default indexing policy. Tags are updated hourly once initially indexed and remain on this cycle as long as they are actively used[2].

  • Every day

    This is the reduced indexing policy. Tags that haven’t been used[2] by any user in the past week will be updated once per day.

  • Never

    This occurs when a tag is marked as Dormant (see Index States Overview). To conserve resources, TrendMiner will no longer attempt to update these tags.

Tags unused[2] for a week are identified daily and automatically switched to the reduced indexing policy. If such a tag is used again, it will revert to the default policy within 5 minutes.
