Sources

Define data sources using declarative YAML — transports, parsers, field mappings, and display configuration

Transports
Configure how Respondent fetches data — HTTP polling, WebSockets, MQTT, S3, and more
Parsers
Parse JSON, GeoJSON, CSV, RSS, XML, and TLE data formats
Field Mapping
Map parsed records to entities and observations using CEL expressions
Filtering
Filter records using CEL expressions before they become entities
Recording Modes
Control how entities are persisted — append, upsert, or deduplicate
Display Configuration
Control how entities appear on the globe — icons, colors, trails, and data fields
Examples
Complete, copy-pasteable source definitions for common data formats
