Edge Delta Pipeline Installation

Overview

Edge Delta pipelines are installed in your environment as close as possible to your data sources. Each pipeline receives its configuration from the Edge Delta back end.

A single pipeline can consist of agents in multiple different environments, all with the same configuration.

See here for more details about the architecture.

Configuration Architecture

Each pipeline is configured using Visual Builder or a YAML file. A unique Pipeline ID is used to communicate with the Edge Delta web app to populate your dashboard and retrieve the configuration.

Installation Overview

There are two key components that are used during the Edge Delta agent installation:

1. The configuration: The Edge Delta web app generates a default pipeline configuration that you can use without further adjustment. A set of agents with the default pipeline configuration sends basic data about your environment to your Edge Delta web app, which can also be used to manage and test the pipeline. Any configuration changes that you make in the app, such as integrating data sources and destinations, are automatically pushed to the agents with matching Pipeline IDs.
2. The Pipeline ID: Each pipeline is associated with a Pipeline ID. This key is used when you install the agents to identify the pipeline they should use and to authenticate their connection to the back end.

To install the pipeline, you deploy is agents in your environment and pass in the Pipeline ID as the secret API key.
