The Cisco Edge Intelligence feed type in ArcGIS Velocity receives events from a Cisco Kinetic Edge and Fog Processing Module (EFM) when the Cisco system is exposing messages over the MQTT protocol.
For more information about Cisco Edge Intelligence and the Cisco Kinetic Edge and Fog Processing Module, see Cisco Kinetic EFM documentation.
Examples
- A data analyst wants to ingest their sensor data from their Cisco Kinetic EFM broker.
- A transportation agency configures a feed in ArcGIS Velocity to consume IoT sensor information collected by roadside gateways running Cisco Kinetic EFM.
Usage notes
- Cisco Kinetic EFM connection properties can be obtained from the Cisco Kinetic app.
- After configuring feed connection properties, see Configure input data to learn how to define the schema and the key properties.
