Insights Collector

The Insights Collector is used to collect Signals on the Edge device and store it in the Edge Data Lake and the Portal Data Lake. The structure of insights collection is:

There are three Data Lake Targets which can be selected as Destination in the Router:

• DataLake-edge: This is routed to the Edge Data Lake.
• DataLake-short-term: This is routed to the Portal Data Lake with a short retention period.
• DataLake-long-term: This is routed to the Portal Data Lake with a long retention period.

The Insights Collector temporary stores signals in a buffer, when there are connection losses to the Data Lakes.

Configuration

info

The Edge Data Lake service and the VPN service to route signals to the Portal must be enabled separately.

The available parameters for the Data Lake are:

• Enabled: Enables or disables the service.
• DeviceName: The name of the Edge device. This is used to structure the data in the Portal Data Lake.
• ScrapeInterval: The scrape interval in seconds.
• MaxDiskUsage: Maximum disk usage in GB to temporary store data when there are VPN connection losses.
