Push Agent

The Push Agent script sends data from a data logger to the cloud.

Operation

Push Agent periodically acquires data from a data logger and sends the data to the cloud in the JSON format. Push Agent implements the store and forward mechanism that acquires data from a data logger and saves the data in an auxiliary store from which the data is extracted and sent to the cloud.

Transfer modes

Push Agent supports the following transfer modes:
  • By line. Sends one line of the data logger per packet.
  • By variable. Sends one or more variables with their related information.
Tip: If the data logger mode is set to Value change, the sampled values change only if one of the monitored variables changes.  Push Agent sends the values of a certain variable only if the variable value differs from the previously sent value.
