Excellent question. I’ve added also a FAQ entry here: http://openideas.info/wiki/index.php?title=Pandora:FAQ#I_want_to_generate_my_own_XML.2C_simulating_data_from_an_agent.2C_why_my_XML_doesnt_work

Thanks for asking interesting things 🙂

At first sight the XML lacks of interval parameter in and if my memory doesn’t trick me, the timestamp information inside the module data is not allowed if it’s not contained in a datalist structure. I’m almost sure that following XML would work:

5min
generic_data

Or a simple one witout data information:

5min
generic_data
73.3

I am generating simple XML data as below

5min
generic_data
73.3
2010-09-06 22:05:00

I found that whenever if i have data of the same value in my next XML entry, the data will not be recorded in database. Can anyone explain why? How can I recover my data? Many thanks!!!

Cheers,
Chong

Thanks Sancho, in fact, my XML format was working fine. Just that, the data values will not be recorded in DB if you have the same data value for 2 consecutive entry with different timestamp. Eg.

5min
generic_data
73.3
2010-09-06 22:05:00

and

5min
generic_data
73.3
2010-09-06 22:10:00

The timestamp above is different but Pandora only takes 2010-09-06 22:05:00. I wonder this is a bug or if we can solve it using configurations or XML format.

I have given a try to your XML format. It seems like XML with

5min
generic_data
