Develop your own adapter

An adapter collects data from a data source (a device, protocol, file, API, etc.), transforms it, and forwards it to a storage endpoint (Edge Data Store, CONNECT, or PI Server) using the Open Message Format (OMF) specification. Every adapter is built upon the Adapter Framework, which provides essential features like configuration REST APIs, logging, health monitoring, and egress capabilities inherently, requiring you only to develop the code pertinent to your specific data source.

This section provides the information required to create, configure, build, and run an adapter using the Adapter Framework and the provided adapter template.

Note: If your adapter implements the framework's health and diagnostics features and is configured with a health endpoint, its health information can be published to both CONNECT and PI Server and represented through associated health assets for monitoring purposes.
