Deploy Data Rules
Data rules are deployed and run on the EI agent software installed on edge devices. At least one asset must be mapped to each EI agent where the data rule is deployed.
Step 1. From the left menu, click Data Policies > Data Rules.
Step 2. In the Data Rule entry, click Deploy / Undeploy.
Step 3. In the Data Rule section, select the EI agent(s) and click Deploy.
Step 4. Scroll down to Deployment Status:
• Deployment Pending (yellow): The data policy is in the process of being deployed.
• Deployed (green): Deployment is successful on all EI agents. Data is flowing from all assets to the data destination as configured.
• Error (red): The policy deployment is unsuccessful. There is at least one EI agent where the deployment failed. The data flow from assets to data destination is not successful for some configured assets.
Deploy Data Logic
Use data logic to transform the data from assets before it is sent to a data destination. Data logic scripts are created in VS code and synchronized with your organization’s Cisco IoT account, where they can be deployed to an EI agent. This means the script will run on the Cisco network device where the EI agent is installed, receive data from assets, transform that data according to the data logic script, and send the results to a data destination. Here are the steps to follow:
Step 1. In Cisco EI, configure the EI agents, asset types, asset instances, and data destinations that will be used by the data logic.
Step 2. In VS code, develop and debug the data logic script.
Step 3. In VS code, click Push to Production to save the data logic to Cisco EI.
Step 4. In Cisco EI, deploy the data logic to an EI agent:
• Click Data Polices > Data Logics.
• Click New / Not Deployed.
• In the Data Logic entry, click Configure.
• (Optional) Click the Configuration tab to change the data destination, or view the script or Input Asset Type details.
• Click Deploy. This takes you to the Deployment tab.
• Select one or more EI agents and click Deploy. This takes you to the Status tab, which shows the list of deployed EI agents.
Licensing
Cisco Edge Intelligence is licensed as a subscription. Licenses are divided into two groups: base functionality and industry-specific device adapters. A base license defines the general set of agent capabilities available for the agent and is required for each Cisco network device that will run an Edge Intelligence agent. An additional industry-specific device adapter license may be purchased for each agent when industry-specific device connectivity is needed.
One base license must be purchased for each hardware device that will run the Cisco Edge Intelligence agent. Additional device adapter licenses may be purchased for specific industry use cases.
