Monitor using Value-Based Search with Context Fields

Further question on this topic. Again, I have configured several context fields tied to a context type.

I initially uses a value-based search to find past events , added calculations to the search and selected events from the search results to create context items at which time, I mapped the fields.. So at that time, all my context views with fields are filled-in.

Second, I created a monitor tied to my value-based search that creates a context item when the event is detected. This has successfully run for a while.

Because monitors do not yet automatically populate context fields, I now have context items on my selected component and empty field values.

I understand that I could use Python code to populate the fields (per what was covered in Trend Lab 2025), but if I wished to fill-in the missing fields manually what would I need to do? I am guessing:

• Locate the last fully filled context item with all fields populated
• Open my saved values-based search with calculations
• Set the context chart time range from slightly after the last fully-filled event
• Execute the search
• Create context items which I believe will create duplicate context items for my component/tag
• Manually delete the incomplete context items (without data field values)

Am I correct or is there a better way?

Thank you.
