Edge Processing using JavaScript with the Action Runner

An Edge Action contains high-level JavaScript that allows you to process events generated from Observations at the edge (i.e., directly on the Octave-enabled edge device). Through an Edge Action, you can programmatically access events from observations, and optionally transform them, send them to the cloud, or send them to another resource on the device, depending on your business requirements.

The following topics describe how to implement edge actions that execute on your Octave-enabled device:

• Basic Transformation and Analysis: how to create an Observation and a basic Edge Action that processes the Observation's events.
• Accessing Data from Other Resources: how to programmatically read data from other resources and buffered events, as well as how to create new events from edge actions.
