Adding a system to SystemLink for Trial

[Kenny_K]

We are currently running a trial of NI Systemlink, and I am importing some data from our existing database to show some of the dashboarding capabilities.

When uploading the data using the LabVIEW API, I set the hostName to the PC that originally submitting the data to our existing database, but it seems that Systemlink converts it to the host name of the PC that is configured as the systemlink client.

If I try to add a system using the HTTP API, I get an error that the minion cannot be found:

https://milsystemlink1/nisysmgmt/v1/register-systems

{

  "systemsCredentials": [

    {

      "hostname": "72307-2",

      "ipAddress": "10.10.10.10",

      "password": "admin",

      "username": "password"

    }

  ],

  "activate": true,

  "workspaces": [

    "ec920196-a5fc-4fc2-892b"

  ]

}

Are we able to add data and have it retain the proper Host Name if the system does not have the SystemLink client on it yet???
