  Key Concepts: 
  Onboarding is the process of connecting a device to the SAP Leonardo Internet of Things (IoT) platform. It involves registering the device, setting up communication protocols, and configuring the device to send data to the platform. The onboarding process is necessary for any device that wants to interact with the SAP Leonardo IoT platform. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To onboard a device, you must first register it with the SAP Leonardo IoT platform. This can be done through the web interface or through an API call. Once registered, you must configure the device to communicate with the platform using a supported protocol such as MQTT or HTTP. Finally, you must configure the device to send data to the platform in a format that is compatible with the platform. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When onboarding a device, it is important to ensure that all communication protocols are properly configured and that data is sent in a format that is compatible with the platform. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all security protocols are in place and that all data is encrypted before being sent to the platform.
