ROS Triggers#

This section walks you through how to create a trigger to automatically process ROS logs.

Triggers allow you to run actions whenever new files are uploaded to your Roboto account.

Enable existing trigger#

During sign-up, you may have opted to automatically create a trigger in your account. If so, there’s no need to create a new one—just ensure it’s enabled.

  1. Go to your account’s triggers page: Triggers

  2. Look for a trigger named ros_log_ingestion_trigger. If it’s there, ensure the toggle button is switched to enabled (green).

Create a trigger#

If your trigger list is empty or you don’t have one set up for ROS logs, you can easily create a new one.

  1. Click the + Create button on the Triggers page.

ROS Create Trigger Button

  1. Fill out the trigger creation form: give the trigger a name, leave Trigger Type on Event-Driven and Trigger On set to File Uploaded, then under Action select Action Hub to locate the ros_ingestion action. The optional Invoke For Each setting already defaults to dataset_file, so each uploaded log is processed individually.

ROS Create Trigger Form ROS Create Trigger Form 2

Ensure the value you provide for Required Inputs matches your log file type, e.g. **/*.bag or **/*.mcap etc.

  1. Once the form is completed, click the Create Trigger button.

After creating the trigger, continue with the Get Started guide to begin working with ROS logs.
