Adding a context table

To add a context table:

1. In the KUMA Console, select the Resources section.
2. In the Resources section, click Context tables.
3. In the Context tables window, click Add.

   This opens the Create context table window.

4. In the Name field, enter a name for the context table.
5. In the Tenant drop-down list, select the tenant that owns the resource.
6. In the TTL field, specify time the record added to the context table is stored in it.

   When the specified time expires, the record is deleted. The time is specified in seconds. The maximum value is 31536000 (1 year).

   The default value is 0. If the value of the field is 0, the record is stored indefinitely.

7. In the Description field, provide any additional information.

   You can use up to 4,000 Unicode characters.

   This field is optional.

8. In the Schema section, specify which fields the context table has and the data types of the fields.

   Depending on the data type, a field may or may not be a key field. At least one field in the table must be a key field. The names of all fields must be unique.

   To add a table row, click Add and fill in the table fields:

   1. In the Name field, enter the name of the field. The maximum length is 128 characters.
   2. In the Type drop-down list, select the data type for the field.

      Possible field data types

      Possible data types of context table fields

      Integer	Yes
      Floating point number	Yes
      String	Yes
      Boolean	Yes
      Timestamp	Yes	For a field of this type, it is checked that the field value is greater than or equal to zero. No other operations are provided.
      IP address	Yes	For a field of this type, it is checked that the field value corresponds to the IPv4, IPv6 format. No other operations are provided.

   3. If you want to make a field a key field, select the Key field check box.

      A table can have multiple key fields. Key fields are chosen when the context table is created, uniquely identify a table entry and cannot be changed.

      If a context table has multiple key fields, each table entry is uniquely identified by multiple fields (composite key).

9. Add the required number of context table rows.

   After saving the context table, the schema cannot be changed.

10. Click the Save button.

The context table is added.
