# Output Plugins

The Senseforce Edge solution provides two output plugins by default:

| Plugin | Area of use                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |
| ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| MQTT   | Send messages via MQTT to your desired cloud system                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
| SQLite | Store your collected messages in a local or remote SQLite database. Allows implementing a ringbuffer-like SQLite table. Therefore, this plugin is well-fitted for high-frequency edge-only use-cases as well as for storing data locally and collecting the data via eg. USB sticks without needing to expose your machine to the internet. |
