Context Plugins
Iotellect has a rich set of build-in data processing tools, such as alerts, event filters, widgets, or trackers. Iotellect Plugin SDK is designed for creating customized instances of existing tools (e.g. building widgets on-the-fly based on current state of the system) and creating completely new tools (e.g. Access Policies for the physical access control industry).
These tools are added to the Iotellect Server core in the form of Context Plugins.
 | Use scripts instead of new Iotellect Server plugins to solve simple data processing tasks. |
Technically speaking, Iotellect Server plugin can:
Add new contexts to the Iotellect Server context tree.
Add new variables, functions, events and actions to existing contexts. The functionality of these objects may be implemented by custom code.
Start any asynchronous code (listening to server sockets, threads, etc.) that interacts with existing or custom contexts by changing values of their variables, executing their functions, or generating events in them.
Examples
Some examples of Iotellect Server plugins:
Asset Management plugin that creates a number of common tables containing asset-specific information and associates them with the hardware devices
Syslog Server plugin that receives messages from the servers via network and converts them to Iotellect events for storage and future processing
Industrial I/O plugin that generates widgets for monitoring status of programmable controllers
 | Device Server SDK bundle includes an open-source example of Iotellect Server Plugin implementation called Demo Plugin. It is located in
