About this Hands-on Lab

Welcome to this hands-on lab, *Viewing IoT Core Data Using BigQuery*.

Google Cloud IoT Core is a fully managed service that manages and ingests data from millions of globally dispersed devices.

You will gain experience by using IoT Core to collect data from a single device. However, you can use the same configuration steps to collect data from millions of devices.

In this lab, you will:

– Get hands-on with IoT Core to create a registry, add a device, and send simulated data from a compute engine VM.
– Configure a Cloud Dataflow template job to collect the data from a Pub/Sub topic, transform the data from JSON to table format, and store the data in BigQuery.
– Use BigQuery to query the data, sort it by the time collected to prove you have configured the IoT data pipeline to move data from Pub/Sub using DataFlow, and store it in BigQuery in the correct format.
– Export the data to Data Studio and display the heart rate data over time collected.

Learning Objectives

Successfully complete this lab by achieving the following learning objectives:

Ingest the IoT Core Data

  1. Create a Google Cloud IoT Core registry called us-iot-hr-trial, a Pub/Sub topic called us-iot-hr-queue, and a Pub/Sub subscription caled us-iot-hr-data.

  2. Register the VM hrsensor007 in IoT Core and create a public/private key pair.

  3. Send simulated data to the IoT Core device using the heartrateSimulator.py script on the VM.

Build a Cloud Dataflow Pipeline

  1. Create a BigQuery dataset called heartratedata and a table called heartratedatatable.

  2. Create a Cloud Storage bucket and collect the endpoints for the Pub/Sub subscription and the Cloud Storage bucket.

  3. Send the Dataflow template and Pub/Sub subscription to BigQuery using the Dataflow job name, BigQuery table information, Pub/Sub subscription link, and bucket location.

View Our Data in BigQuery

Run a query to view the IoT data that was received in BigQuery, and query the data to return timecollected. Once the data has been viewed in BigQuery, export the results to Data Studio and observe the data in a graphical format.

Additional Resources

The Arkan group needs to test a new IoT device that's been giving them problems in the field.

The actual device in the field is a Raspberry Pi 3B+ with a heart rate sensor connected to the device by GPIO pins.

They have sent you a copy of the scripts they use to generate the public/private keys for each device. You also received a Python code file that simulates a sample of the heart rate data collected.

A VM instance named hrsensor007 is provided for you in the lab. The VM already contains the software in the root directory named iotcore-heartrate. Use this VM instance as the IoT device to send a message to IoT Core.

Once the data arrived in Pub/Sub via IoT, you will verify that Dataflow will successfully move the data to BigQuery for later machine learning analytics on the data.

Now, have fun learning about IoT Core, Dataflow, and BigQuery.

What are Hands-on Labs

Hands-on Labs are real environments created by industry experts to help you learn. These environments help you gain knowledge and experience, practice without compromising your system, test without risk, destroy without fear, and let you learn from your mistakes. Hands-on Labs: practice your skills before delivering in the real world.
