Stage 1 · Configure data pollers
MQTT Pollers — Aviano UGS
Stage 1 setup for sensor streams: subscribe to an MQTT broker, sample payloads, map fields, and set alerts. The same poller workflow used for movement and event data across the platform.
Walkthrough Four-step MQTT poller wizard: Configuration → Sample Data → Field Mapping → Review & Submit.
What this demo shows
Operators create an MQTT poller named for the Aviano underground storage (UGS) sensor network. The platform connects to the broker, ingests messages on a topic pattern, samples payloads, and maps JSON fields to geospatial features.
- Configuration — broker host, port, topic (
# aviano/ugs/#), QoS level, client ID, credentials - Sample Data — capture live messages from the subscription before mapping
- Field Mapping — bind payload keys to location, timestamp, and sensor attributes
- Review & Submit — validate and publish the poller to production
- Broker (demo)
- broker.emqx.io:1883
- Topic filter
- # aviano/ugs/#
- QoS
- 0 — At most once
Sensor streams alongside movement
GeoInsights treats MQTT as a first-class feed type — not a replacement for GPS or event streams, but a parallel channel for telemetry that powers alerts when thresholds are crossed.
- TLS brokers supported (
ssl://URLs) - Auto-detect JSON, XML, or custom payload shapes
- Visualize sensor readings on the same map as fleet and asset tracks
- Trigger geofence and business-logic rules on incoming messages
