Hello, I am new to Geoserver. I have been working on a small project that use to keep track multiple machine that are running on construction side using GNSS device on machine. I am trying to do some research and someone said it might be possible with Geoserver but I am really don’t know how.
Could anyone give me some guidance about this ? Is there really a possible to do that ?
Thank you
GeoServer is more for sharing the resulting dataset … collecting the dataset (tracking the devices) is a different challenge!
GeoServer does offer the ability for clients to store data using the Web Feature Service Transaction operation, so perhaps your clients could provide updates through GeoServer. GeoServer would thus be part of a larger solution with with software running on your devices.

I see Jody already provided some good advice.
I'd recommend you expand on what you are trying to achieve. Are you looking for "now" level outputs? Or are you trying to archive the information for some reason?
That is, we get the "you want to track machines" part. The best way forward depends on why you are trying to do that tracking. Safety? Efficiency? Utilisation metrics? Or are you just trying to have a pretty picture (dots on the map) situational awareness display for the boss? Any of those are reasonable, but what you need to so depends on what outcomes you need.
One way to look at this is that if what you are collecting isn't going to help you make (or update) a decision, its not really achieving anything. Doesn't mean you won't have to do it, but the decision support part is probably the really key part. The implementation can follow that.
