11. An edge sensor device, comprising:
a memory storing one or more instructions; and
a processor for executing the one or more instructions to:
acquire, by a sensor management service, first status data associated with a set of settings that control operations of the edge sensor device;
transmit the first status data to a backend system;
receive, via the backend system, a command to modify a first subset of the set of settings that control the operations of the edge sensor device, the first subset specifying (i) a first set of one or more subscribers of an onboard message broker stored in a memory of the edge sensor device, and (ii) a data collection limit;
in response to receiving the command, modify the first subset of settings;
upon modifying the first subset of settings, acquire, by a sensor service, first sensor data associated with a physical device operating within a physical environment, wherein:
the edge sensor device includes a first set of sensors of a first sensor type for obtaining the first sensor data,
the sensor service collects the first sensor data up to the data collection limit, and
the edge sensor device is located proximal to the physical device;
input the first sensor data into the onboard message broker for publishing, wherein and the edge sensor device is a publisher in a publish-subscribe network; and
upon receipt of the first sensor data, transmitting, from the onboard message broker, the first sensor data onto the publish-subscribe network,
wherein the first sensor data is addressed to a first set of one or more subscribers of the onboard message broker, and
wherein the one or more subscribers includes a remote server computing system.
