Concepts

Understand the foundational concepts that power ModularIoT. This section establishes the vocabulary and mental models needed to work effectively with the platform.

Core Domain Concepts

  • Telemetry - Raw data streams from devices and sensors
  • Metrics - Canonical, normalized measurements with defined semantics
  • Events - Discrete occurrences with timestamps and context
  • Symptoms - Detected conditions requiring attention or action

Entity Model

  • Assets - Physical or logical entities being monitored
  • Devices - Hardware that produces telemetry data
  • Drivers & SDKs - Integration adapters and client libraries

Platform Concepts

  • Time & Ordering - How the platform handles temporal data
  • Identity & Ownership - Entity relationships and access patterns
  • Multi-Tenancy - Isolation and resource sharing across organizations

Reading Guide

Start with Telemetry and Metrics to understand data flow, then explore Symptoms to see how the platform transforms raw data into actionable intelligence.

Each concept is explained independently of implementation details or API specifics.
