XYZ Monitor: IoT Monitoring of Infrastructures Using Microservices

Abstract

One of the main features of the Internet of Things (IoT) is the ability to collect data from everywhere, convert this data into knowledge, and then use this knowledge to monitor about an undesirable situation. Monitoring needs to be done automatically to be practical and should be related to the ontological structure of the information being processed to be useful. However, current solutions do not allow to properly handle this information from a wide range of IoT devices and also to be able to react if a certain value threshold is exceeded. This is the main purpose of XYZ Monitor, the system we propose here: to monitor IoT devices so that it can automatically react and notify when a given alarm is detected. We deal with alarms defined by means of business rules and allow setting ontological requirements over the information handled.
