Snapshot

Use the Snapshot tool to save a copy of your data based on the last calculation. The snapshot stays the same when you export a pipe with new data.

The Snapshot tool is helpful when you want to keep a historical record of your data. You can also use this to save a data set state before transforming the data.

Configuration

Use the following configuration options to help configure the Snapshot tool.

Configuring the Snapshot tool
  1. Go to the Pipes module from the side navigation bar.

  2. From the Pipes tab, click an existing pipe to open, or create a new pipe. To create a new pipe, read the Creating a pipe documentation.

  3. Click symon_add_icon.png + Tool.

    The Tools modal opens, where you can add tools, such as the  Aggregate  tool, to your pipe.

  4. In the Tools modal search bar, type Snapshot, and then click + Add tool.

    Tip

    You can also find the Snapshot tool in the Data section.

  5. Click the tool node and drag the line to the next tool to connect the tools. If you need to undo the action, click the line and then click Unlink.

    You've now saved a copy of your data based on the last calculation.
