Data Forwarding

YenGear IoT Cloud can automatically forward device data to external systems in real-time. This enables seamless integration with your existing infrastructure, analytics tools, and business applications.

Overview

When devices send data to YenGear IoT Cloud, the platform can simultaneously push that data to one or more external destinations. Each forwarding configuration is called a Forwarder Profile.

Key Features

• Multiple Destinations: Forward data to webhooks, databases, message queues, or cloud storage
• Per-Organization: Each organization manages its own forwarding rules
• Priority Control: Set execution order when multiple forwarders are active
• Real-time Delivery: Data is forwarded as soon as it arrives
• Activity Tracking: Monitor sent counts and monthly statistics

Supported Forwarding Types

Type	Description	Documentation
HTTP Post	Send data via HTTP POST to any webhook endpoint	HTTP Post Forwarding

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• An organization with at least one device sending data
• Access to Org → Data Forwarding in the sidebar
• Target system credentials (URL, API keys, etc.)

Create a Forwarder Profile

1. Navigate to Org → Data Forwarding
2. Click + New Profile
3. Enter a Name (optional but recommended)
4. Select a Type from the dropdown
5. Set Priority (higher values execute first)
6. Configure the Target Config for your chosen type
7. Ensure Enabled is on
8. Click Save

Managing Profiles

• Toggle: Enable/disable forwarding without deleting the profile
• Edit: Update configuration at any time
• Delete: Remove the profile permanently
• Monitor: Check Sent Count and Monthly Sent statistics

Data Format

All forwarding types receive data in a consistent JSON format:

{
  "device_id": "d-1000-abc",
  "project_id": "proj-xyz",
  "timestamp": 1709856000,
  "factors": [
    {
      "agri_id": "d-1000-abc-1-00",
      "value": 25.5,
      "unit": "°C"
    },
    {
      "agri_id": "d-1000-abc-1-01",
      "value": 65.2,
      "unit": "%"
    }
  ]
}

Troubleshooting

Issue	Solution
No data delivered	Verify the profile is Enabled and target is reachable
Wrong execution order	Increase Priority value to run earlier
Authentication errors	Double-check credentials in Target Config
Invalid JSON config	Use a JSON validator to check syntax
