Setup

Prerequisites

Before setting up this integration, make sure you have:

  • The Instantel unit’s serial number
  • The timezone used by the unit
  • An IMSURGE Thor Agent configured to upload THOR CSV files to the credential endpoint

Credential Setup

Use Instantel Thor Credentials to create or select the reusable connector for this integration. The connector owns the HTTP ingress endpoint; every Instantel Thor source integration attached to that connector shares the endpoint.

Integration Setup

After selecting the credential, configure the source using:

  • Instrument Serial Number - Identifies the Instantel unit. It must match the SerialNumber value in uploaded THOR CSV files. IMSURGE uses it to route ingress files and identify the IMF device.
  • Unit Timezone - The timezone used to interpret the unit’s local timestamps before conversion to UTC.
  • Include Lower-Bound Flags - Controls whether IMSURGE emits boolean lower-bound metrics. The default is Disabled.

Reference

This integration uses Data Push only.

The IMSURGE Thor Agent uploads THOR-generated CSV bytes to the HTTP ingress endpoint owned by the credential. The endpoint routes each file to the attached source whose Instrument Serial Number matches the file’s SerialNumber value.

Output Description
Events Only Full Histogram events are processed. Full Waveform events are ignored.
Device IMF device naming uses the normalized instrument serial number: surrounding whitespace is removed and letters are converted to uppercase.
Lower bounds With lower-bound flags disabled, a value such as >100 is stored as 100. When enabled, IMSURGE also emits a True or False *_is_lower_bound metrics.
Timestamps Local unit timestamps are interpreted using Unit Timezone and converted to UTC.

Limitations

  • Data Push only - The integration cannot poll Instantel, fetch from an API, backtrack, or run manually.
  • Histogram events only - Full Histogram events are processed; Full Waveform events are ignored.
  • Shared ingress endpoint - Sources attached to the same Instantel (Thor) connector share its endpoint and are routed by serial number.
  • Alpha Integration - Instantel (Thor) is an alpha integration. Results may vary while the integration is being validated.
