Entering Data Manually in Cogynt
In addition to uploading a CSV or JSON file, Cogynt's Data Management Tool also supports publishing a single entry record to a topic. The Manual Entry form allows publishing a single data entry for any existing project.
note
A previously created project, event type, and deployment target must already exist in order to manually publish entry records.
To publish a single data entry:
- Visit your organization's Cogynt Data Management Tool address.
- From the landing page, click Manual Entry to navigate to the manual entry form. Any single data entry requires three values before publishing:
- From the Project dropdown, select an existing project.
- From the Select Event Type dropdown, select an existing event type.
- From the Select Deployment Target dropdown, select an existing deployment target.
- In the Kafka Topic field, check the Overwrite existing topic on publish to overwrite the existing Kafka topic with data from the new value entered, if necessary.
- From the manual entry form, fill in any field values. Hover over the field name to identify the expected data type and path associated with the value.
- Click Publish to instantly publish the manual entry, or click Confirm and Publish to review the manual entry first. Click Cancel to discard the changes.
