Install IoT Bridge for Snowflake into your Azure account
- Before being able to access the Virtual Machine you must have completed the installation process here.
Install an MQTT Server
- Chariot MQTT Server can be installed using this guide. However, any Sparkplug compliant MQTT Server will work. Note Azure IoT Hub is not Sparkplug compliant.

Summary

IoT Bridge for Snowflake (IBSNOW) is an application that connects to an MQTT Server (such as Chariot MQTT Server or AWS IoT Core) and consumes MQTT Sparkplug messages from Edge devices.

When these messages are formatted as Sparkplug Templates, as defined in the Sparkplug Specification, the templates are used to create the data in Snowflake automatically with no additional coding or configuration.

Warning
If the messages do not use templates, they will be stored in a database table as unprocessed messages and additional work will be required to use this data in Snowflake.

When complete, it should look similar to what is shown below.
