Advanced event routing

Notes on configuring Blecon Networks via the API

Introduction

When configuring networks via the API, you will need to take care of network routing. In the console, routes are created for you when you create integrations.

Network Routes

To start receiving events, you create a Network Route on your Virtual Network, which will collect events and send them to a URL of your choosing.

Each Blecon Event has an Event Type, a string describing the event.

If you create multiple network routes, the most specific match to the event is used based on the Filter Pattern. You cannot create more than one route with the same filter pattern.

Filter Patterns

To specify which event types you wish to receive, you must provide a Filter Pattern.

A filter pattern is a simple search string that matches events. You can use wildcards where required.

Examples of valid filter patterns:

device.request.my_company.temperature // matches this exact event type

device.request.* // matches all device requests

device.message.* // matches all device messages

device.* //matches all device-created events

network.* //matches all network-created events

* // matches all events
