Abstract: In one embodiment, a service associates a plurality of descriptive tags with a node in a network, based on an inspection of packets sent by the node that is performed by one or more sensors deployed to the network. The service identifies, based on the plurality of descriptive tags, data to be extracted from traffic of the node by an edge device located at an edge of the network. The service determines, based on the plurality of descriptive tags, an external destination to which the data should be sent by the edge device after extraction. The service sends a data pipeline configuration to the edge device, wherein the data pipeline configuration causes the edge device to extract the data from the traffic sent by the node and to send the data to the external destination.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a networking device at an edge of a network enrolls with a controller that supervises operation of the networking device. The networking device sends a publication request to a cloud-based messaging service. The networking device provides, to the cloud-based messaging service, identification information that indicates the controller that supervises operation of the networking device. The networking device receives, from the cloud-based messaging service, authorization to publish messages to the cloud-based messaging service. The cloud-based messaging service uses the identification information to confirm an identity of the networking device with the controller that supervises operation of the networking device. The networking device sends, after receiving authorization to publish messages to the cloud-based messaging service, a message for publication to the cloud-based messaging service. The message comprises data sourced from an endpoint in the network.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a supervisory device that supervises an edge device at an edge of a network receives a uniform resource identifier specified by a node in the network. The supervisory device retrieves information regarding the node located at the uniform resource identifier. The supervisory device generates, based on the information regarding the node, a data pipeline configuration for the edge device. The supervisory device sends the data pipeline configuration to the edge device. The data pipeline configuration causes the edge device to extract data from traffic sent by the node in the network and specifies one or more cloud-hosted applications to which the data should be sent.

The controller makes, based on the performance metrics, a determination that performance of the particular edge networking device is below a defined threshold. The controller re-assigns, based on the determination, at least a portion of the set of one or more endpoints to a second edge networking device in the network.
