IoT Consumer#

Overview#

An IoT Consumer is a Business Object designed to extract, transform, and load the events stored in the IoT Data Platform.

Each IoT Consumer has an associated IoT Consumer Definition. Multiple IoT Consumers can have the same definition. In such cases, they will only differ in their specific configuration, such as which Events they will pull data from, their filters, and their destination.

It is possible to create new IoT Consumer Definitions, but the system also provides ones to transform and monitor data, as well as to extract it to an SQL Server Database or a File.
