IoT Consumer Definition#

🔒 IoTConsumerDefinition.Show

Overview#

An IoT Consumer Definition represents a pluggable process (or Job) that can be configured to perform tasks or actions on a data platform framework (e.g. Apache Spark ⧉). These are instantiated as IoT Consumers which can subscribe to a set of IoT Event Definitions and process these.

Sequence Of Steps#

The sequence of steps to correctly configure an IoT Consumer Definition are the following:

  1. Make sure the Connect IoT Package Repository is correctly configured. This is required since both Connect IoT and IoT Data Platform share the same source repository for npm packages (either local or an actual npm server). See Connect IoT Administration for further details on how to configure this.
  2. Check if a proper IoT Consumer Definition Type exists in the source lookup table. This value is just informative.
  3. Create an IoT Consumer Definition.
