Start from a Marketplace Template

The Marketplace is a catalog of ready-made agent templates that HiveMQ built for industrial IoT and smart manufacturing. A cloned template is the fastest way to a working agent. You start from a proven configuration and adapt it, rather than build a new one.

To get started, open the Marketplace tab on the Act page.

Browse the Marketplace

Each template appears as a card with the following information:

  • The template name

  • A short description

  • A by HiveMQ author line

  • A version badge

To narrow the list, type into the Search agents by name or role… field. Click any card to open its detail page.

Open a Template

The template detail page shows the full picture before you commit the template:

  • The author (by HiveMQ) and the date of the last update

  • The template name and full description

  • A category badge that summarizes what the agent does (for example, Monitor)

  • A version badge

  • Tag chips that describe its characteristics (for example, demo, deterministic, anomaly-detection, mqtt, sendgrid, hitl).

From here you can go back to the list, clone the template, or download its YAML.

Clone a Template Into the Agent Builder

Select Clone template to open the Agent Builder pre-filled with this template’s configuration. The platform populates every stage (identity, connections, and the Sense, Reason, Actuate, and Reflect stages) from the template, ready for you to adapt.

From the builder you can refine any stage, save the result as your own template, and deploy it. See Configure an Agent.

Download the Template YAML

Select Download YAML on the detail page to save the template’s configuration file directly, without opening the builder. Use this option to review the configuration, version it in your own repository, or import it elsewhere.

Your Organization’s Templates

The Templates tab holds the agent templates that your organization owns: the ones you cloned, drafted with Bea, or imported. Each card shows the template name, description, version, and creation date.

From the Templates tab, you can perform the following actions:

  • Click Import template to bring in an existing data-defined agent (DDA) configuration file from your computer.

  • Click a card to open the template in the Agent Builder for editing.

  • Click Deploy on a card to start the deploy wizard for that template. See Deploy an Agent.
