Watson IoT: “Extensions” entry is not available in left menu

Question

I\'ve been following the Gather, visualize, analyze and detect anomalies in IoT data tutorial and, although I was able to go through it flawlessly, I\'m stuck in the second step

Answer 1

As mentioned in the Solution tutorial,

Setting up a new connection is a four-step process:

• Create a service binding that provides Watson IoT Platform with the necessary information to connect to the Cloudant service.
• Create a connector instance for the service binding.
• Configure one or more destinations on the connector.
• Set up one or more forwarding rules for each destination.

You can refer to the IBM Watson IoT Platform - Historical Data Storage Extension APIs swagger UI as mentioned in the tutorial.

You can also access the interactive API docs directly from the Watson IoT Platform service dashboard by selecting the menu bar help icon in the upper right corner of the window and then clicking API > historian connector > View APIs. To store the historical data to Cloudant, you will be passing the IBM Cloudant credentials to create a Watson IoT Platform service binding.
