Activating and Editing the Controller Data Stream Plugin

The RUCKUS IoT Controller provides support for the Controller Data Stream plugin. The Controller Data Stream is a Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT) data stream. When it is enabled, it sends IoT device-related details to the third-party MQTT endpoint (MQTT Broker). The device data stream is sent to third-party every 300 seconds.

To establish a connection to a vendor infrastructure, the administrator must perform the following steps.

  1. From the main menu, click Admin.
  2. In the left navigation pane, click Plugins.
  3. In the Select a Plugin to Activate list, select the Controller Data Stream plugin and click Activate.
