## Abstract

In various implementations, an asset gateway service receives log messages comprising asset data captured by a gateway device associated with an asset. The log messages each include a first identifier corresponding to a first representation of the gateway device, which itself is associated with a first organization. The service persists data from the log to a first datastore accessible by the first organization. The service also determines whether a second representation of the gateway device (i.e., a clone) exists. If so, the service persists at least some of the data from the log message to a second datastore, which itself may be associated with a second organization, thereby allowing both organizations to access the data in a secure yet convenient manner.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A computing device comprising:
one or more computer readable storage media;
one or more processors operatively coupled with the one or more computer readable storage media; and
program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media that, when executed by the one or more processors, direct the computing device to at least:
generate a first representation of a gateway device onboard an asset and associate the first representation with a first organization;
generate a second representation of the gateway device and associate the second representation with a second organization different from the first organization;
receive a log message comprising asset data captured by the gateway device onboard the asset and a first identifier corresponding to the first representation of the gateway device associated with the first organization;
place the log message in a queue for a service that writes a first portion of the asset data to a first datastore accessible by the first organization;
generate a second version of the log message comprising the asset data and a second identifier corresponding to the second representation of the gateway device; and
place the second version of the log message in the queue for a service that writes a second portion of the asset data to a second datastore accessible by the second organization, wherein the second portion is different from the first portion.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The computing device of claim 1, wherein the program instructions further direct the computing device to:
display a first view of the asset data in a first dashboard associated with the first organization, wherein the first view is based on the first portion of the asset data.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The computing device of claim 2, wherein to generate the second version of the log message, the program instructions direct the computing device to generate a code unique to the second organization.
