Rule Entry


The Rule Entry node is the default starting routing rule node where reported data such as measurement points, attributes, and events enters for subsequent routing. This node cannot be deleted.


The ways the Rule Entry node can be triggered include the below.

  • Use device SDK to report device telemetry. For more information, see Using EnOS Device SDK For Java. If debugging is required, devices can also be virtually activated in the EnOS Management Console via Device Monitoring > Online Debugging to stimulate the reporting of device telemetry. For more information, see Virtual Devices.

  • Use IoT Hub nodes such as Update Attribute and Upload Measurement Point in the Device Integration Service to report device telemetry. For more information, see Device Integration Service Overview.

  • When there are changes to device states such as device log in, log out, and activation.

  • When there are device lifecycle events such as the creation, enabling, disabling, and deleting of devices.

Node Type

Gateway Type

The protocol gateway type for the routing rule. Two options are available.

  • Third-party Gateway: The third-party protocol gateway for using third-party device protocols to access EnOS. For more information, see Device Onboarding.

    • Gateway: The drop-down will show the list of created protocol gateways created in EnOS Management Console > Device Onboarding > Protocol Gateways. Select one or more third-party protocol gateways from the drop-down list. For more information on how to create and configure third-party protocol gateways, see Protocol Gateways.


  • EnOS IoT: The default EnOS IoT protocol gateway access, where you can select products in the IoT Hub for routing.

    • Product: The drop-down will show the list of all products under the OU. Select one or more products from the drop-down list. For more information on products in IoT Hub, see Managing Products.
