Techniques for activation triggering using time-series based event data

An apparatus, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor coupled with the memory and configured to:
• identify a namespace associated with an activation trigger;
• identify a plurality of time-series based events of a discoverable event stream associated with the namespace, wherein the discoverable event stream includes the plurality of time-series based events, received from multiple objects, in a single stream ordered by time;
• determine that an activation rule is met over the plurality of time-series based events;
• publish an activation trigger event to the discoverable event stream, the activation trigger event including a generic activation identifier identifying an action to perform, and an actor identifier identifying an actor to perform the action;
• obtain, based on monitoring the discoverable event stream, the activation trigger event via the discoverable event stream, the activation trigger event including the generic activation identifier and the actor identifier;
• generate, based on the generic activation identifier and the actor identifier, an activation instruction event for causing an action associated with the generic activation identifier at an actor corresponding to the actor identifier, including mapping a field within the activation instruction event to a configuration value within the activation trigger event to which the field corresponds;
• configure, based on the activation trigger event, the activation instruction event to trigger the action at the actor;
• and
• transmit the activation instruction event to the actor based on the actor identifier.

A non-transitory computer-readable device having instructions thereon that, when executed by at least one computing device, causes the at least one computing device to perform operations comprising:

• identifying a namespace associated with an activation trigger;
• identifying a plurality of time-series based events of a discoverable event stream associated with the namespace, wherein the discoverable event stream includes the plurality of time-series based events, received from multiple objects, in a single stream ordered by time;
• determining that an activation rule is met over the plurality of time-series based events;
• publishing an activation trigger event to the discoverable event stream, the activation trigger event including a generic activation identifier identifying an action to perform, and an actor identifier identifying an actor to perform the action;
• obtaining, based on monitoring the discoverable event stream, the activation trigger event via the discoverable event stream, the activation trigger event including the generic activation identifier and the actor identifier;
• generating, based on the generic activation identifier and the actor identifier, an activation instruction event for causing an action associated with the generic activation identifier at an actor corresponding to the actor identifier, including mapping a field within the activation instruction event to a configuration value within the activation trigger event to which the field corresponds;
• configuring, based on the activation trigger event, the activation instruction event to trigger the action at the actor;
• and
• transmitting the activation instruction event to the actor based on the actor identifier.
