AWS IoT Latency Calculation

Edge Sends a data package to the AWS. This data package can have multiple things data. In each thing data, there will be scanning timestamp, thing key, and data array.

Following will be the format for data :

{

"events": [

{

"thing_key": "ft26ecabad",

"timestamp": 1641561474351,

"data": {

"tag_1": 2542

},

"data_faas_function": "",

"type": "data"

}

],

"timestamp": 1641795756303

}

Calculation : total time taken from scanning to send = (Send timestamp - Scan timestamp) + (current received timestamp) - (Send timestamp).

Scan Timestamp : timestamp under each thing object

Send Timestamp : timestamp to the end of package
