In various embodiments, a computer-implemented method comprises acquiring status data for settings that control operations of the edge sensor device, transmitting the status data to a backend system, receiving a command to modify settings that control the operations of the edge sensor device, the settings specifying (i) one or more subscribers, and (ii) a data collection limit, in response to receiving the command, modifying the setting, acquiring sensor data associated with a physical device operating within a physical environment, where a sensor service collects the the sensor data up to the data collection limit, and the edge sensor device is located proximal to the physical device, inputting the sensor data into an onboard message broker for publishing, and transmitting, from the onboard message broker, the sensor data, where the sensor data is addressed to a first set of one or more subscribers of the onboard message broker.
