Special Events

Metadata

The metadata consists of the columns

• Id, is the id of the MQTT message in which the event was transmitted

• Inserted, the time it was inserted into the database

• Size, data size of the event

• Thing, id or name of the machine which generated the data

• Timestamp, timestamp describing the event

• Type, name/type of the event

These columns are contained in every event schema and are used to connect the different event schemas. The metadata events contain the collective of all metadata regardless of the event schema they actually belong to.

• Compressed size, is the size of the compressed message given in bytes.

• Uncompressed size, is the size of the uncompressed message given in bytes.

• Compression ratio, is the ratio between uncompressed and compressed size given by $compression\_ratio = compressed\_size/uncompressed\_size$

• Space savings, is the data amount saved due to the compression. $space\_savings = 1-uncompressed\_size/compressed\_size$
