Edit and manage Azure IoT Data Processor Preview pipelines

  • Article

Important

Azure IoT Operations Preview – enabled by Azure Arc is currently in PREVIEW. You shouldn't use this preview software in production environments.

See the Supplemental Terms of Use for Microsoft Azure Previews for legal terms that apply to Azure features that are in beta, preview, or otherwise not yet released into general availability.

The Azure IoT Operations (preview) portal provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for editing pipelines. To edit the JSON definition of a stage directly, you can use the Advanced tab. This feature gives you more flexibility and control over the pipeline configuration, especially if you need to manage complex configurations that might not be fully supported by the GUI such as for the filter stage.

The portal also lets you import and export complete pipelines as JSON files.

Prerequisites

To configure and use an aggregate pipeline stage, you need a deployed instance of Azure IoT Data Processor Preview.

Edit the JSON definition of a stage

To edit the JSON definition of a pipeline stage, open the pipeline stage that you want to modify and select the Advanced tab:

Make the necessary changes directly to the JSON. Ensure that the modified JSON is valid and adheres to the correct schema for the pipeline stage.

When you're done with your modifications, select Save to apply the changes. The user interface updates to reflect your changes.

When you use the Advanced tab, it’s important to understand the underlying JSON structure and schema of the pipeline stage you’re configuring. An incorrect configuration can lead to errors or unexpected behavior. Be sure to refer to the appropriate documentation or schema definitions

Import and export pipelines

You can import and export pipelines as JSON files. This feature lets you share pipelines between different instances of Data Processor:

Pause and restart a pipeline

To pause or restart a pipeline, open the pipeline, select Edit and use Pipeline enabled to toggle whether the pipeline is running:
