Ingest Dronetag Scout

The Ingest Dronetag Scout tab allows administrators to link incoming data from Dronetag Scout devices to existing assets in UNIFY.C2.

Setup Instructions
  1. Create Assets
    • Navigate to Monitor → Sensor & Effector Assets → Detail and create assets for each Dronetag Scout device you intend to integrate.
  2. Configure MQTT Forwarding on Dronetag
    • Update your Dronetag Scout to forward data in the json+odid format to the following MQTT endpoints:
      • Flight Data:
        • mqtts://dronetag:[password]@mqtt.eplasp.io/#dronetag/scout
      • Format: json+odid
      • Batch size: 100
      • Timeout: 1 second
      • Heartbeats:
        • mqtts://dronetag:[password]@mqtt.eplasp.io/#dronetag/heartbeats

Main Table View

The tab displays a table of configured sources with the following columns:

  • MQTT Connection String
  • Username

  • Actions (e.g., delete or modify source)
The Asset will display:
  • Green if the Dronetag is actively sending heartbeat signals
  • Red if the Dronetag is offline or not detected

  • Select Asset (Dropdown) – Select an existing asset to connect as the heartbeat source
    • ADD NEW ASSET – Optional button that allows the user to create and connect a new heartbeat asset directly from the popup
    Click ADD NEW DRONETAG SCOUT SOURCE to save the entry and add it to the table, or click CLOSE to cancel. After adding the source, you should see a new popup.
