    Abstract: Described herein are techniques for integrating external sensors to an edge device, such as for ingesting data into a data intake and query system. The edge device has an internal message broker for communicating with internal (e.g., preconfigured, recognized) sensors, and an external message broker for communicating with external (e.g., customer-configured, otherwise unrecognized) sensors. The external message broker provides access to customer configuration of external sensors, but is logically quarantined from the internal message broker to prevent unwanted customer access to internal configurations. The internal and external message brokers interface only via a bridging service that transforms external sensor data into data based on customer-configurable transformations. The transformed data can be handled by the edge device and/or downstream components (e.g., a data intake and query system) in the same manner as internal sensor data.

    Abstract: In various embodiments, a computer-implemented method comprises acquiring status data for settings that control operations of the edge sensor device, transmitting the status data to a backend system, receiving a command to modify settings that control the operations of the edge sensor device, the settings specifying (i) one or more subscribers, and (ii) a data collection limit, in response to receiving the command, modifying the setting, acquiring sensor data associated with a physical device operating within a physical environment, where a sensor service collects the the sensor data up to the data collection limit, and the edge sensor device is located proximal to the physical device, inputting the sensor data into an onboard message broker for publishing, and transmitting, from the onboard message broker, the sensor data, where the sensor data is addressed to a first set of one or more subscribers of the onboard message broker.
