Cloud-to-Cloud (C2C)

For developers and integrators

This page is for technical users forwarding data to another system. Everyday monitoring does not require it.

Connect Treon to the systems you already use, with no complex IT project. Cloud-to-Cloud forwards measurements, events and metadata to another cloud backend as soon as they are processed. For developers and integrators.

Transport

Two mechanisms are available:

  • MQTT — the middleware runs an MQTT client that connects to a broker you host, and publishes messages to it.
  • HTTP POST — measurement data can instead be sent to an HTTP endpoint you host.

Both run over TLS (1.2 or newer, as negotiated by the connection). For MQTT, the broker presents a CA-signed server certificate and the client presents its own client certificate; that client certificate can be issued by you, or Treon can supply the CA certificates needed to verify a Treon-signed one.

What C2C sends

The available data types are:

  • Events — condition events.
  • KPI measurement data — the scalar KPIs.
  • Measurement metadata — device, group and asset information so the receiving side can interpret the data.
  • Node configuration — the device's current configuration, published as it changes.
  • FFT and waveform burst data — available for Treon Make (Treon Industrial Node X), which captures them. Treon Flow (Treon Industrial Node C) is KPI-only, so no spectra or waveforms are forwarded (see Overview of solutions).

Over MQTT the interface is also bidirectional: besides publishing the data above, it accepts inbound commands from your system on their own request topics — for example triggering a measurement or pushing a configuration change — so measurement triggering is something you send to Treon Connect, not data it forwards out.

Setup

C2C is enabled and configured per instance by Treon. To integrate against it you need the connection details (broker or endpoint, and certificates) and the message schemas. Contact Treon to enable C2C for your instance and to obtain the current schema definitions for your device types — schemas are available on request.
