MQTT Client

The MQTT Client Plugin lets you subsribe to data being sent from an MQTT Broker. You would usually setup an MQTT Client Pluigin to subscribe to data topics from an IoT provider managing devices on an IoT network like LoRaWAN Server.

The MQTT Client Plugin is designed to scale to meet your IoT needs. It fully supports the automation features of the INDICIUM DataBus. You can subscribe to a topic from the MQTT Broker and if data arrives for a device that is not known, the DataBus automation system can configure all the processing pathways to meet your requirements. This saves administrative effort, and ensures your data is being collected as soon as it starts being delivered.

MQTT allows for 2-way communication, so data can be relayed back to your device if it supports it. This can be used to send control signals or reconfigure the device.

MQTT Server

The MQTT Server Plugin allows you to host an MQTT Broker in the INDICIUM DataBus. This can be handy if you want to securely share real-time data with MQTT Clients.

IoT Hub

The IoT Hub plugin allows you to integrate your DataBus deployment with Azure IoT Hub. This means you can use IoT Hub to manage your IoT devices and ensure you cloud deployment is secured using all the smarts that Azure has to offer. The integration with IoT Hub is simplified and you can use the DataBus automation features to automatically build processing pipelines for the devices connected to IoT Hub.

IoT Hub Client

This plugin allows you to connect your 'edge' site to Azure via IoT Hub. The plugin can be configured to automatically configured IoT Hub for you, or you can manually do this if preferred. Once setup, you can have a bidirectional data feed between your Azure deployment and your edge installation. You can optionally choose the protocol used to pass the data to IoT Hub (MQTT, AMQP, HTTPS) to ensure you can meet your own security requirements.

An example deployment would be to use the INDICIUM DataBus to integrate with a SCADA system or BMS to extract data and syncronise it with Azure. On the Azure side you can setup your IoT solution and write data directly into that solution.

The Things Network

If you are using The Things Network as your LoRa Network provider and device management layer, then you can easily integrate this data source into your solution. This plguin supports automation, so you can automatically setup processing pipelines automatically when new devices are added.

LORIOT

The LORIOT Plugin lets you connect with your LORIOT LoRaWAN Network Server. You can connect using either Azure IoT Hub and using Web Sockets. Very quick to setup and allows you to setup a seperate connector for each application in LORIOT.

Azure Table Storage

Read and write time-series data with Azure Table Storage. You can choose the name of the table per series, and a standard format is used to store the data.

Read and write data from Azure Data Lake (GEN2). The data can be structured and unstructured.

Azure Blob Storage

Read and write Blobs with Azure Blob Storage. Capture documents, images or videos (or more) in Azure Blob Storage.

Azure Video Blob Storage

Storage of video files in Azure Blob Storage. The files are stored in a structure way to allow for easy querying of files.

Azure CosmosDB

Read and write time-series data with Azure Cosmos. You can choose the name of the table per series, and data is chunked to minimise the number of reads/writes required to store large volumes of Time-Series data.

Azure Event Hubs

Post data directly into Azure Event Hubs for processing by connected Azure processes.

HTTP Post

Post the TimeSeries to an HTTP URL. Use in conjunction with the PythonPlugin to format your data into the required format. Use in conjunction with the OAUTH plugin to add authentication to your post.

PowerBI Post

Post to a Power BI Streaming DataSet to allow real-time display of data in PowerBI reports.

OAUTH

This plugin can make authorisation calls to an OAUTH server. The returned tokens are then attached to the data so they can be used in REST calls or Scripts.

REST API

Pplugin lets you post data to the DataBus via a REST API. Data is processed as a real-time subscription. You can browse your APIs in a Swagger like user interface and test them. Calls are secured usign OAUTH, or can optionally be unsecured if your architecture requires it.

SendGrid

Use your pipeline to generate a message and then pass it into the SendGrid plugin to email it to a distribution list. You can use a centralised SendGrid account, or override on a individual pipelines if required. Use the IronPythonPlugin to build email message contents as required.

Mailgun

Use your pipeline to generate a message and then pass it into the Mailgun plugin to email it to a distribution list. You can use a centralised Mailgun account, or override on a individual pipelines if required. Use the IronPythonPlugin to build email message contents as required.

Microsoft SQL Server

Read or write time-series data from a Microsoft SQL Server database. You can write your own SQL queries to maximise the flexibility of the plugin.

MySQL Server

Read or write time-series data from a MySQL Server database. You can write your own SQL queries to maximise the flexibility of the plugin.

MongoDB

Read or write time-series data from a MongoDB document database. A standard format for the data is used and has been designed to allow for efficient storage of large volumes of time-series data.

Indicium Dynamics have published the API used to read and write this data. It can be found here: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Indicium.TimeSeries.MongoDb

OLE DB Windows Only

Can query data from OLE DB compliant SQL Server using Stored Procedures or SQL Queries.

Oracle DB

Can query data from Oracle Database server using Stored Procedures or SQL Queries.

FTP Client

Read or write data to files on an FTP server.

WMI Client Windows Only

Allow querying of WMI using select statements when running on Windows operating systems.

AQUARIUS Forecast Plugin Windows Only

AQUARIUS Forecast is a hydrological modelling solution. This plugin allows for execution of models and through the use of other plugins allows you to write data to files compatible for AQUARIUS Forecast, or into AQUARIUS TimeSeries where it can be used by AQUARIUS Forecast. Find our more about AQUARIUS Forecast here: https://aquaticinformatics.com/products/aquarius/aquarius-forecast/
