Determined configuration update for edge components

摘要

A method, device, system, and computer program product that relate to configuration of an edge component and subcomponents to adapt data from a Device to a readable form and to communicate the adapted data to a Network End Environment. The Network End Environment includes a user interface by which a user requests that the edge component is updated to have a configuration version stored at a source. The system processes the request and updates the edge component configuration. The edge component is updated to a source configuration at a predetermined time interval according to one of a full configuration refresh or a delta configuration. Data received and processed by the edge component can thereafter be pushed to the Network End Environment for storage and/or use in a Network application. The edge component is described as a Connector, and the subcomponents of the edge component are described as Connector components.

1. A system for configuring an edge component, the system comprising:
the edge component having a configuration, the edge component being coupled to each of a device and a network backend system; and the network backend system having a source configuration used to update the configuration of the edge component, wherein:
the configuration is implemented to adapt a data signal into a corresponding readable signal for storage on the network backend system;the configuration of the edge component is updated when the source configuration is changed;the edge component includes subcomponents comprising:
a device adapter to adapt data received from the device to a readable form;a data processor to adjust the adapted data according to network requirements; anda network module to transmit the adjusted data to the network backend system; andthe edge component obtains the configuration from a configuration portion of the network backend system by:
providing, over the network module, a status update to the network backend system; andquerying the configuration portion of the network backend system for at least one of: component binaries, at least one subcomponent configuration, and an edge component configuration, wherein the status update is status information from at least one of the edge component and the subcomponents.
