Data Routing Feeds

This section provides:

Tip

The data routing method that you set up will depend on the methods that are supported by the platform you are sending data to.

For example, if the platform you are sending data to only supports HTTPS then you must set up an HTTPS data feed.

TCP Data Routing Feeds

A TCP data feed allows you to route raw packet data over a TCP socket.

If you are using a TCP data feed, you are required to specify a host and port address to which data is forwarded.

Info

Further information about setting up TCP data routing feeds is available in the User Guide.

MQTT data feeds function by converting raw packet data into MQTT format and sending it to a specified location.

If you are using an MQTT data feed, you must have an MQTT broker. The broker is used to receive data from the network.

MQTT offers the following advantages:

It is a lightweight protocol, with minimal packet overhead. This makes it a more suitable option than TCP in situations where network bandwidth is constrained.
It offers a greater degree of scalability than TCP.

Info

Further information about setting up MQTT data routing feeds is available in the User Guide.

HTTPS data routing feeds allow you to send data from subscribers to a web server using the POST request method.

If you are using an HTTPS data routing feed, you must have a web server which you can send data to.

Info

Further information about setting up HTTPS data routing feeds is available in the User Guide.
