What is a Data Recorder?
Data Recorders is a simple software probe, designed to connect and fetch data from one or many data sources: computer systems, web and enterprise applications, weather and environment sensors, or IoT equipment, using various communication protocols.
How does a Data Recorder work?
Capture Data
A data recorder can connect to one or many sources of data, using different communication protocols or API interfaces. For example, rs485rec, the Industrial IoT data recorder, can use MODBUS or SERIAL protocols to fetch data from various devices.
Data Organization
All collected metrics are structured as data messages. A data recorder can process one or many data messages at the same time, depending on the technology and usage: ICT computer system and application performance, weather conditions or home indoor air quality.
Processing Data
After establishing a valid connection with the data source, the recorder will start to read and gather all metrics defined under the recorder configuration file. The metrics can be read sequential, one by one or asynchronously reading an entire group.
Data Output
All recorded parameters and metrics are saved as text based files, using the universal comma-separated values file format. This way it is simple to share data with any other system and deliver it for data consolidation, analysis and visualization.
Interactive Mode
The recorder is designed as a CLI (Command-Line Interface) application. Such way, the recorder can run and execute as any other regular CLI utility, and help for immediate troubleshooting or debug situations and use-cases.
Automatic Mode
The recorder can switch and run for longer logging activities, fetching and saving data without any data interactions. This is the mode necessarily if you need to record and transport data for consolidation, analysis and visualization.
