DataMailBox to Azure - simon - 12-01-2017

Sebastian Brandes, Tech Evangelist at Microsoft has developed a very nice DataMailbox Gateway for Microsoft Azure IOTHub.  Thanks to him for this very nice job.
This one is available on : https://github.com/sebastianbk/DataMailbox2Azure

The idea is that you can compile it with Visual Studio and run it on any kind of servers (For ex on a VM in Azure).

Hello Simon,

 
I'm trying to connect my Azure IoT hub with Datamailbox, but I'm having some difficulties.
 
Things I did until now:
-       Configured my eWon so it will push data to the datamailbox
-       Created an IoT hub in Azure. Type s1 standard (400k), I think that is alright?
-       Created an Json file with my settings.
 
So now I am at the part the instruction says, Running DataMailBox2Azure. 
 
dotnet restore
dotnet build
 
I don’t understand how to execute these commands?  I did download the .Net Core Tools, but I'm not familiar with using them. Can you please help me?

Hi 
For your information, Sebastian's solution does not work as expected.
If you want eWON to Azure, read more about IIoT, BI and eWON data2action.se

RE: DataMailBox to Azure - Comeon - 17-10-2018

Hello,

  I'm looking to try and connect my Flexy DataMailBox to Azure IoT hub. I have tags already being pushed to my DataMailBox. I just can't find a solution get the data to Azure IoT. I need the data to come from the mailbox and not from the flexy. Has this topic expanded somewhere else? 

Thanks for any help!

Hi

Do you want the data moved from DataMailBox to an Azure SQL ?  Or how do you want the solution ?

Hi, yes I can make a demo video. I also working on a new version (in C++) that "send" the data to a time series database for this I use Timescale DB, timescale is open source and on top of Postgres it can run on Windows and Linux. 
feel free to contact me on linkedin if you have any questions or request.

RE: DataMailBox to Azure - Nick_ARCsom - 16-10-2019

For those interested: I made a working connector that syncs data from DataMailbox to MS Azure.
It's a .NET Core app that can run as a lightweight console application on Windows or as a WebApp directly on MS Azure.

RE: DataMailBox to Azure - aagamb123 - 16-04-2020

Simon,
I went through the link above created by the Microsoft guy (Tech evangelist) and I have a couple of questions: 
 
So provided that we don’t own and manage the eWon datamailbox server (this is fully owned, supported and managed by you guys, HMS) how come we can set it up (i.e. mess with it) to send IoTHub messages straight into Azure IoTHub? Tipically what other vendors do, is that they develop the options to push data out (Webhook, IoT, AWS etc) iand then the customers (like us) we just enter the Azure IoTHub connection string and the Datamailbox is now pushing data out with HTTPS, REST API commands. The microsoft guy seems to suggest that you can built this capability on your server to do the work above. is this true? Any thoughts here?

Also this link above, has not been updated for over 4 years so I am wondering if this has ever been tested because it has zero comments. Do you have any comments on this as well?

Thank you so much
Arturo


RE: DataMailBox to Azure - simon - 16-04-2020

Hi Arturo,

I am not sure this solution is still valid and I have not tested it by myself.
Indeed, you are right, the concept is to run this app "somewhere" to transfer datamailbox data to AzureIoT Hub.

As you understood well, the datamailbox does not feature a kind of client connection to Azure IOT hub or something else. The only way to extract data from the Datamailbox is to use our DmWeb API.( https://developer.ewon.biz/content/dmweb-api). So a "program" must call the API to get the data and do something with that.

RE: DataMailBox to Azure - aagamb123 - 16-04-2020

Thank you Simon. After some additional review and considering your thoughts. The microsoft option is not very attractive after all, because you can have the eWon itself to talk directly with Azure IoT Hub to ingest data (no need of extra device and SW). So this option is much better and cleaner than the option provided by microsoft.

So for now looks like my best bet would be to ingest data using the API commands from Azure API management in Azure. i have tested that and works great.

Regards
Arturo


RE: DataMailBox to Azure - simon - 20-04-2020

Arturo,

I did not know that! Is it well that https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/api-management/ ?
Indeed looks very promising.
If you build up a Datamailbox driver with this tool. Let us all know :-)

Simon


RE: DataMailBox to Azure - aagamb123 - 20-04-2020

Simon,
Yes i have it working with Azure API management. See attached. Also with Azure logic apps i am adding the automation to run the API every day and then passing the backend messages received into Azure storage containers (Blobs). Later on i am planning to build anomaly detection and Machine learning models.  


Thank you for the support 
Arturo

Arturo,

Waw, it seems great :-) Congrats!
Thanks for your feedback.
