Bosch IoT Insights

• Your instance needs to be booked separately via the Bosch IoT Suite portal.

• A free plan is sufficient for this example.

• https://bosch-iot-suite.com/service/insights/#serviceplans

As a result, you will receive credentials to access the service.

Example:

Bosch IoT Things

The connection from Bosch IoT Things to Bosch IoT Insights will be established on the Things Dashboard.

Your instance is pre-configured to allow all messages from Bosch IoT Hub to be routed and processed at Bosch IoT Things.

1. Open the Connections/Integrations tab to see the entries created automatically during the package booking process.

2. For the Connection category, select Bosch IoT Insights.

   1. Use the drop down and choose Bosch IoT Insights, then set a name for your connection.
      

      

   2. Set the credentials you have received at booking the Insights service.
      

      

   3. Define the authorization subject. This is already pre-filled and only needs an additional string.
      

      

      
      Tip: This subject needs to be set in the policy later on.

   4. A summary will be shown as in the example below.
      Click Test connection to make sure your settings are ok.
      By default, the checkbox Normalize event payload to targets as thing JSON including contextual data is enabled.
      

      

   5. Click Create to approve and close the dialog.

This connection is uni-directional. Thus from the Things perspective, you will only see Targets but not sources.
This means, we will send data TO the Bosch IoT Insights data recorder, but there is no way back.
