# About Metadata

For better understanding of the parameters from the Advanced category let’s consider the time series shown in the picture below:

<figure><img src="/files/XaJL7ZE9uRbCB62yggu0" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Note that for all time series specified data source and store are the same, but types of addresses and comments are different.

**Case when default store parameters are used.** After data source value changes request *SELECT \* FROM "timeseries"."autogen"."tssamples" GROUP BY "tsid" ORDER BY DESC LIMIT 1* will return the following result:

| **time**            | **tsid**                     | **s** | **v** |
| ------------------- | ---------------------------- | ----- | ----- |
| 2019-09-25 23:12:41 | MySeries.Series1             | 0     | 25.00 |
| 2019-09-25 23:12:41 | MyCustomID                   | 0     | 25.00 |
| 2019-09-25 23:12:41 | 22ePXYjPQ0GM/3iyM+Dii12+3n4= | 0     | 25.00 |

**Case when Add Time Series Comment to Tag parameter is True.** After data source value changes the same request will return the following result:

| **time**            | **tsid**                     | **tsc**    | **s** | **v** |
| ------------------- | ---------------------------- | ---------- | ----- | ----- |
| 2019-09-25 23:57:16 | MySeries.Series1             | S1 Comment | 0     | 99.00 |
| 2019-09-25 23:57:16 | MyCustomID                   | S3 Comment | 0     | 99.00 |
| 2019-09-25 23:57:16 | 22ePXYjPQ0GM/3iyM+Dii12+3n4= | S2 Comment | 0     | 99.00 |

Thus *tsc* tag will be added to the record metadata for each time series and it will contain time series comment.

**Case when Add Time Series Path to Tag parameter is True*****.*** After data source value changes the same request will return the following result:

| **time**            | **tsid**                     | **tsp**          | **s** | **v**  |
| ------------------- | ---------------------------- | ---------------- | ----- | ------ |
| 2019-09-26 00:09:58 | MySeries.Series1             | MySeries.Series1 | 0     | 117.00 |
| 2019-09-26 00:09:58 | MyCustomID                   | MySeries.Series3 | 0     | 117.00 |
| 2019-09-26 00:09:58 | 22ePXYjPQ0GM/3iyM+Dii12+3n4= | MySeries.Series2 | 0     | 117.00 |

Thus *tsp* tag will be added to the record metadata for each time series and it will contain path to the series.

**Case when Add Server UID to Tag parameter is True.** After data source value changes the same request will return the following result:

| **time**            | **tsid**                     | **su**                   | **s** | **v** |
| ------------------- | ---------------------------- | ------------------------ | ----- | ----- |
| 2019-09-26 00:09:58 | MySeries.Series1             | CeSqAF5sGUqMJqdilungXg== | 0     | 33.00 |
| 2019-09-26 00:09:58 | MyCustomID                   | CeSqAF5sGUqMJqdilungXg== | 0     | 33.00 |
| 2019-09-26 00:09:58 | 22ePXYjPQ0GM/3iyM+Dii12+3n4= | CeSqAF5sGUqMJqdilungXg== | 0     | 33.00 |

Thus *su* tag will be added to the record metadata for each time series and it will contain unique server identifier in the format of Base64.

You can use different combinations of flags from the Advanced category in order to define several meta-tags.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.monokot.io/time-series-and-stores/influxdb-connectivity-store/about-metadata.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
