LI-COR Cloud Logger

LI-COR Cloud Logger (HOBOlink) pulls records from a logger that reports to LI-COR Cloud. Dendra accesses the LI-COR Cloud API with an API token that you create in LI-COR Cloud.

This is a station-level integration. It references an organization LI-COR Cloud API integration that connects to the LI-COR Cloud API. You can create that connection in the same wizard. The API token in the integration can be used to pull data from any logger in that LI-COR Cloud account.

Tip

In LI-COR Cloud, an Account Owner or Device Admin can create an API token (Settings, API tokens). Copy the token when LI-COR shows it. Finish the station in Dendra first, including the Station Readiness Checklist. See Set Up a Station.

Settings

Setting	Required	What you set
API integration	Yes	Organization LI-COR Cloud API connection. The setting is the Token from LI-COR Cloud. You name the connection when you create it.
Logger serial	Yes	Serial number of the logger in LI-COR Cloud.
Backfill days	No	Days of history to pull on first connect, up to one year. Leave blank if you only need recent data. Dendra keeps pulling new records after that.

Steps

1. Create the station in Dendra if you have not already. Work through the Station Readiness Checklist: the station is enabled, it has a deployment, and the site is enabled with a geolocation.

2. Create a LI-COR Cloud API token if you do not already have one (Account Owner or Device Admin in LI-COR Cloud).

3. Go to Tools > Data Setup > Configure Integrations. See Configure Integrations.

4. Click the blue + New button.

5. This is an inbound integration. Select LI-COR Cloud Logger from Integration Type. Hit Next.

6. Select your station. Hit Next.

7. Fill Settings. If you do not have an API connection yet, create one (paste the token and name the connection). Enter Logger serial. Set Backfill days if you want history. Hit Save.

8. Dendra starts pulling from LI-COR Cloud. Open Tools > Monitoring > Integrations, select the LI-COR Cloud API connection (the pipeline lives there), and confirm the activity log looks healthy. See Monitor Integrations.

   To see tables next, set the LI-COR Cloud API connection to Live and Enabled, and this station config to Enabled with Use Parent or Live.

9. Go to Tools > Data Setup > Configure Datastreams. Select your station and confirm time zone. Select Use Existing Tables. Tables appear on the left.

   Note

   If you do not see the tables, click Not seeing a table you expect? Click here to re-run table discovery.

10. Continue with Configure Datastreams.
