Raw UDP Node

Section: General

This section contains basic configuration elements required for any Raw UDP node implementation.

Field

Requirement

Comments

Node Name

Mandatory

Enter a name for this node.

This provides a handle to which you and others can refer, so it should be simple but meaningful and explain the node’s purpose.

Unique ID

Autofilled

This field is automatically completed. The unique ID must be the first value sent in the comma-delimited string

Device Code Position

Mandatory

Provide the index location of the device ID within the comma-delimited string. For example, if the following data is sent to the Raw UDP node:

3197c239414c23f04e7f8983482dc30786ef,device1,Value A, Value B

Then the device ID position must be set as 2.

This will ensure that the data extracted will be tied to the device configured in device management configured in Device Management.

Field Position and Field Name

Mandatory

Additional fields can be configured in the UDP node to store the data sent. 

Each field created will be appended to the output JSON payload as a new key and the value is taken based on the configured position of the comma-delimited string received.

For example, if the following data is sent to the Raw UDP node:

3197c239414c23f04e7f8983482dc30786ef,device1,Value A, Value B

If position is set to 3 and the field name is set to “json_key”, then the following JSON packet will be created:

{“json_key”: “Value A”}
