Overview

A Publisher facilitates the creation of historical outputs from records collected by devices. Each Publisher instance manages its own index marker for device records collected so it doesn't republish or skip records.. Following  Following any filter rules, the Publisher operates on batches of records controlled by the index marker that are then processed by the desired output type.

Each publisher runs in a queue, meaning that only one publisher is running at any given time.  Enabled publishers will alternate turns so that each has the chance to publish some records before the next round.  

...

A Publisher can be created using any one of several methods. See Creating Objects.
