Data processing

Defines incoming telemetry processing and workflows.

  • Calculated Fields: Virtual telemetry or attributes derived from incoming data. Used for data transformations and enrichment.
  • Rule Engine: Framework for data processing, workflow automation, and external system integration.
    • Rule Chain: Directed graph of connected Rule Nodes defining sequential data processing logic and execution paths.
    • Rule Node: Atomic processing component used to filter, transform, or route messages. Examples include data filtering, script execution, and external API calls.
    • Queues: Message persistence and delivery mechanism ensuring load balancing, fault tolerance, and guaranteed processing of telemetry.
  • AI Models: Integrated AI models invoked via Rule Engine nodes for anomaly detection, pattern recognition, and Natural Language Generation (NLG) for telemetry.
