Verizon Newtec Dialog Platform Collector

About

The Verizon Newtec Dialog Platform Collector collects and organizes the data from the Newtec Dialog Platform.

This HTTP connector communicates with the Newtec Dialog System via the Restful API provided by the system and via the native SOAP API provided by DataMiner. The data collected from both sources are placed strategically within the connector, allowing users to easily monitor the different systems controlled by the Newtec Dialog Platform.
