Setting up devices in Intel IoT Analytics
The image that we have been using to boot our Intel Galileo Gen 2 board includes a local agent for Intel IoT Analytics preinstalled. Unless we have made specific changes to the Yocto Linux meta distribution to disable specific components, we will have the agent running as a daemon on the device. The agent includes the iotkit-admin command-line utility that allows us to perform specific interactions with Intel IoT Analytics. We will use this command-line utility to perform the following tasks:
Test the proper communication with Intel IoT Analytics
Obtain the device id
Activate a device
Register three time series components for the device.
Send test observations
First, we will check whether the iotkit-admin command-line utility can establish proper communication with Intel IoT Analytics. We just need to run the following command in the SSH terminal:
iotkit-admin test
If the connection is successful, we will see lines similar to the following ones. The last...
