Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for generating an Internet-of-Things (IoT) system topology. A user interface includes a graphical representation of components. A relationship between the plurality of components is determined based on user-defined connections between the components. IoT topology code is generated. The IoT topology code includes the relationship between the plurality of components and properties for individual ones of the components. The IoT topology code is converted to executable gateway instructions that enable a gateway device to communicate with an IoT device. The gateway instructions are transmitted to the gateway device.

Abstract: Disclosed are various examples of utilizing blockchain for tracking and auditing of systems and processes that involve Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices. In one example, an IoT event definition is installed on a gateway. The IoT event definition includes a threshold value associated with an asset type. The gateway receives sensor data from an IoT device associated with the asset type. The gateway determines that the IoT device triggered an IoT event based on the sensor data and the IoT event definition. The sensor data indicates that the IoT device triggered the IoT event based on the threshold value. The gateway transmits, to a management service, a request to record an IoT event to a blockchain. The request includes the sensor data. A block that includes the sensor data is recorded to the blockchain.

Abstract: Disclosed are various examples of providing edge component redirection for IoT analytics groups. In some embodiments, an Internet-of-Things (IoT) analytics group is identified. The IoT analytics group includes an IoT device that communicates through an interface device of a first edge device. A grouping interface policy is generated to specify a bus redirect from the first edge computing device to a second edge computing device. The grouping interface policy is transmitted for implementation using the edge devices.

Abstract: Disclosed are various examples of providing edge component redirection for IoT analytics groups. In some embodiments, a grouping interface policy is received for an Internet-of-Things (IoT) device that communicates through an interface device of a first edge computing device. The grouping interface policy indicates that the IoT device is assigned to a second edge computing device. A bus redirect of the interface device is enabled. The bus redirect routes traffic between the IoT device and the second edge computing device.

Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for gateway onboarding for IoT device management. In one embodiment, activation of a gateway is initiated by transmission of a request to activate the gateway to a network address. The request to activate the gateway includes a gateway identifier that uniquely identifies the gateway. A gateway enrollment agent is received. Enrollment of the gateway with the management service is performed using the gateway enrollment agent. The enrollment includes a transmission of a request to enroll the gateway to a management service address and an installation of an enrollment policy received from the management service. The gateway enrollment agent is updated to a gateway management agent that includes an ability to install at least one IoT device management product.
