====Querying ARDI Data====

To make Grafana charts using ARDI data, you'll need to choose your ARDI data source when setting up a Grafana channel.

A query is made up of several options....

===Type===

There are a few different //types// of request. 

^Type Name^Effect^
|[[Point|Point]]|Shows the values of measurements from a single asset|
|[[Query|Query]]|Shows the results from an AQL query|
|[[Selector|Selector]]|Shows the results from an ARDI point selector|
|[[Table|Table]]|//Experimental// For table-based Grafana visualisations of properties|
|[[Events|Events]]|For events/table data from ARDI|

For examples of these, see [[Query Types]].

===Context===

The ARDI context you want to query from. You may choose between any of the configured ARDI contexts. Defaults to **Actual**.

===Point/Query/Selector===

This varies based on query type, but contains either the **name of the data point** in 'asset.property' format, the **selector** to use, or the **AQL query** to use.

Start typing and the system will help you auto-complete all but the AQL query.
