The data framework monitors the data exchange components and provides diagnostic data, such as the status and behavior of the components and information regarding data volumes and usage. As new data components are introduced to the framework, they are discoverable. The data framework can also be used to maintain a publish-subscribe data catalog so that users and components can discover updates to published data. The data can be exposed through dashboards and system consoles corresponding to the technologies and components.

The data framework tracks the following:

• Component presence discovery, identifying past and present framework participants and newly added components
• Component activity monitoring of data statistics such as update frequency, throughput, and system loads and memory usage
• Traffic monitoring of data flow statistics such as throughput, latency, and data volume

An IIoT-specific systems management console in the data framework enables testing and diagnostics.
