How can I set min/max value point by sending json data measurements with rest api

[brkngcn]

I want to determine the minimum maximum point that will appear on the graph when sending the temperature measurement results to the cumulociyt with REST API.

If I don’t do this, the graph is automatically scaled according to my measurements.

Since the minimum value in the measurements is 24.8, the minimum value appears as 24.8 on the graph.

I want the graphic range to be between -20 and 100 regardless of the measurement values.

The json I sent is like this;

{
  "measurements": [
    {
      "source": {
        "id": "1113"
      },
      "time": "2023-07-06T10:50:15",
      "type": "TEST",
      "TEST_Temperatur": {
        "Field2": {
          "unit": "°C(int)",
          "value": "24,8"
        }
      }
    },
    {
      "source": {
        "id": "1113"
      },
      "time": "2023-07-06T11:00:31",

        }
      }
    },
    {

How do I determine the min/max points when sending data with rest API?

Hi,

you can use the data point library to define the minimum and maximum value for the specific combination of fragment (TEST_Temperatur) and series (Field2).

Check the documentation here: https://cumulocity.com/guides/users-guide/cockpit/#data-point-library on how to add such an entry to the data point library.

Just noticed that you are also sending your measurement value (e.g. "24,8") as a string and that you are using a comma as the decimal separator.
Instead you should probably send your measurements in this format (using a dot as decimal separator and without the quotation marks):

{
      "source": {
        "id": "1113"
      },
      "time": "2023-07-06T10:50:15",
      "type": "TEST",
      "TEST_Temperatur": {
        "Field2": {
          "unit": "°C",
          "value": 24.8
        }
      }
}

Thanks for your attention
When making a request, I convert the string to numeric value and make post request.

Thanks for the solution, I’ll look into the documentation you sent.
