Notes on structuring data
Data structures
Depending on the cloud provider, the data is structured differently for transfer to the broker:
●
AWS / Azure / IBM Cloud
–
Topics
A topic is the channel for the transfer of values of one or more data points.
You can create several topics.
No groups can be configured.
●
MindConnect IoT Extension / Other Cloud
–
Groups
A group can contain one or multiple data points.
You can create one or more groups.
–
Topic
You can assign different topics to the groups.
MindConnect IoT Extension: In the default setting, the groups are assigned to the
standard topic "s/us" of the MindConnect IoT Extension.
Structure of the topic names
Because the requirements on the format of the topics can be different depending on the
receiver (broker, cloud), a topic name is made up of different parts.
Prefix and suffix generally apply to all topics.
Prefix and suffix are not relevant for groups.
