S3/OSS Forwarding

Archive device data to Amazon S3, Alibaba Cloud OSS, or any S3-compatible storage. Ideal for long-term data retention, compliance, and batch analytics.

Overview

Device data is automatically stored as JSON files in your object storage bucket, organized by date and device.

Quick Start

Step 1: Prepare Your Storage

1. Create an S3 bucket (or OSS bucket)
2. Create access credentials with write permissions
3. Note your bucket name and region

Step 2: Create a Forwarding Profile

1. Go to Org → Data Forwarding
2. Click + New Profile
3. Select S3/OSS as the type
4. Enter your storage details
5. Click Save

Configuration Options

Option	Required	Description
Bucket	Yes	Your bucket name
Access Key	Yes	Access key ID
Secret Key	Yes	Secret access key
Endpoint	No	Custom endpoint (for OSS, MinIO, etc.)

Data Format

Data is stored as JSON files:

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

Security Tips

• Create a dedicated user with write-only permissions
• Use bucket policies to restrict access
• Enable encryption for sensitive data

Troubleshooting

Access Denied	Verify access key and secret
Bucket not found	Check bucket name and region
Connection failed	Verify endpoint URL
