Tips & Tricks

The Parquet Writer module creates compressed files from arrays for storage in cloud services like AWS or Azure. It auto-detects schema and types but allows overrides for inconsistent data.

The Data Generator module can be used to generate some sample data to simulate input from external systems. This is helpful if you want to build a flow with a known message structure on the input side but without having access to that system right now.

Combine Interval and Delay modules to create one-off triggers at any time.

Learn how to get two timestamps from different messages into the same message, so that we can calculate the difference.

Use flow annotations to document and explain the Flow in the Flow Studio.

Secure your Crosser Node's HTTP and MQTT endpoints with TLS encryption and authentication.

FlowApps are low-code templates for common use cases, with new additions available, and users can create and share their own.

Any change(s) that affect Nodes create Jobs, which are queued and executed when the Node connects to the Crosser Control Center. Jobs may consist of multiple tasks and their progress can be tracked in the Jobs tab.

FlowMessages, the custom .NET data type used in Crosser Edge Analytics, support dynamic structures with nested objects and arrays containing basic .NET data types. Find out more in this article.

In industrial IT/OT networks, proxies inspect outbound traffic for security. Crosser ensures connectivity by routing traffic through proxies while allowing local access when needed.
