Out of the box, the TDS has no such capabilities.

Aggregations must be configured before they can be used. However, the
data files behind the aggregation do not have to be static. If new data
files in the time series arrive, the TDS will add them to the
aggregation and serve the data without any reconfiguration or restarting
of the TDS.
