IoT Cloud Tester application enables users to create virtual devices and gateways in GCP’s Cloud IoT Core. Users can define custom data model for the devices, the application will generate automated data based on the data model constraints. The application also generates and maintains device keys which are required to communicate with GCP.<\/p>\n
Devices publish messages to topics through the MQTT bridge. Users can create subscriptions to topics in GCP. IoT Cloud Tester application also enables users to create and maintain subscribers that listen to one or more subscriptions. The Pub\/Sub Monitor window of the application shows the real-time pub\/sub messages. Users can also setup dataflows to write the pub\/sub topic messages to BigQuery or to write pub\/sub subscriber messages to BigQuery.<\/p>\n
