Use packs to collect and process data in SiteWise Edge
AWS IoT SiteWise Edge gateways use different packs to determine how to collect and process your data.
Currently, the following packs are available:
-
Data collection pack – Use this pack to collect your industrial data and route it to AWS Cloud destinations. By default, this pack is enabled automatically for your SiteWise Edge gateway.
-
Data processing pack – Use this pack to enable SiteWise Edge gateway communication with edge-configured asset models and assets. You can use edge configuration to control what asset data to compute and process on-site. You can then send your data to AWS IoT SiteWise or other AWS services. For more information about the data processing pack, see Turn on edge data processing in SiteWise Edge.
Upgrading packs
Important
Upgrading Data processing pack versions from before (and including) 2.0.x to version 2.1.x will result in data loss of locally stored measurements.
SiteWise Edge gateways use different packs to determine how to collect and process your data. You can use the AWS IoT SiteWise console to upgrade packs.
