Transcript

1. What Is Apache Edgent ? • An open source programming model • Runtime for edge devices • Analyze data and events at the device • Open source / Apache 2.0 license • Save money by analyzing data at the edge • Only send essential data from the edge • Edgent pre processes edge based data
2. Apache Edgent Use Cases • When cound Edgent be used ? • IOT – analyze data at the edge i.e. – Distributed devices – Mobile devices – Process data at the device – Only transmit post processed data • Embed in application server – Process logs at source • Server rooms and machine rooms – Monitor machines at source
3. What Is The Edge ? • The edge of the data network – Devices – Gateways – Equipment – Vehicles – Systems – Appliances – Sensors • All IOT devices at the edge of the network • Providing potential data for the center
4. Edgent Connections • Edgent provides connectors • For data sources and data sinks, available for – MQTT – HTTP – JDBC – File – Apache Kafka – IBM Watson IoT Platform • Edgent is extensible, you can create connectors
5. Edgent Architecture
6. Edgent Applications • Edgent is an open source programming model • Use the Edgent API to develop applications • To process data streams • Basic Edgent Applications follow a common structure – Get a provider – Create the topology – Compose its processing graph – Submit the topology for execution • See the next slide for code sample
7. Edgent Applications
8. Edgent Console • Edgent supplies a console • Run as an HttpServer within the application • Can be used to – Visualise topology – Monitor flowing data • Topology oplets and stream tags are visible • The console URL is generated by application build i.e. – http://host_name:port_number/console
9. Edgent Console
10. Edgent Cookbook • Edgent provides an API Cookbook, see • https://edgent.incubator.apache.org/recipes/recipe_hello_edgent.html • From writing a first function to detecting sensors • Splitting and combining streams • Using configuration files • Using filters • Analytics processing • Writing connectors
