Sample Data and Fictitious Database
Sample Temperature Data
Every new GoToAssist Web account comes with some default sample data so you can search and graph trends over time on your first day, before your Web account has been up long enough to gather historical data of your own. The creation of each new company database on your GoToAssist account also includes some pre-generated historical data for the same purpose. The sample is not updated, since your Crawler collects your own data after that. You can see this sample data in your GoToAssist Navigator.
To start collecting your own historical data, set these on your Crawler:
- SNMP Credentials — Can log in to switches or routers on your system.
- Rescan Hosts — Rescans certain devices more frequently than usual.
- SNMP Interface Statistics — Collects periodic interface statistics from specific devices.
You can run the examples on this page against your own data in the GoToAssist search field, or against fictitious data in the Query Sandbox.
Sample database
A fictitious database is used for examples in the GoToAssist documentation. Many of the examples of PQL queries and statements in the documentation are based on the fictitious database described in this section.
As you can see, the data types defined for each device differ somewhat in this example. This is not a problem in GoToAssist's tree-structured database. Information is collected incrementally by the Crawler, and the database expands to account for this. GoToAssist adds new data types as the data is discovered. You don't need to know or define data types ahead of time. This gives the tree far more flexibility than a table-based database.
You can experiment with this sample database by executing the following INSERT statement in your Query Sandbox:
