Datasets and Pipeline

Datasets

are a way to group data so that you can more easily find it, and to control access to it. Refer Get started with data sets to learn more about datasets from the Cognite documentation. Many extractors require/encourage defining a dataset as a destination for the data that is being uploaded. The Extractor creation process will create datasets for you if you haven’t previously created one.

Pipelines

are a way to monitor the operations of an extractor. They can notify you if the extractor stops working. Like datasets, pipelines are encouraged or required by many extractors. If you haven't created a pipeline before, you can create it using the DataMosaix Management Console. Refer to About extraction pipelines to learn more about pipelines.
