Sample datasets are used throughout the {{< product-name >}} documentation to demonstrate functionality. Use the following sample datasets to replicate provided examples.

Get started home sensor data

Includes hourly home sensor data used in the Get started with {{< product-name >}} guide. This dataset includes anomalous sensor readings and helps to demonstrate processing and alerting on time series data. To customize timestamps in the dataset, use the {{< icon "clock" >}} button in the lower right corner of the page. This lets you modify the sample dataset to stay within the retention period of the bucket you write it to.
