=== Inter Edge Communication ===
+
=== Additions/Changes ===
−
Now Edge can transmit scan events, alerts and other Datonis entities (that eventually streamed to/fetched from Datonis) to another Edge over MQTT as well as HTTP. Edge virtually implements all data ingestion, instruction subscription and Thing data APIs to establish a bidirectional tunnel between another Edge. With this feature, Edge can act as a client as well as receiver and forwarder. The receiver Edge can again transmit data to another Edge or Datonis, theoretically inter Edge link can be as long as possible.
 
  
−
The inter Edge communication happens over Secure MQTT and Secure HTTP channels that uses Edge's self signed certificate (certificate is configurable). The client Edge buffers and re-transmits data in case receiver Edge or its communication link is down.

The downstream APIs like Sync Things, Sync Rules have also been tunneled to enhance the client Edge configuration experience. The MQTT acknowledgment mechanism is similar to Datonis where first class Ack message is published.

Additions/Changes

Edge Tunnelling Feature

Edge Tunnelling feature will allow you to access your Edge Gateway from anywhere through internet on the following URL:

https://<gateway-key>.edge-tunnel.datonis.io

Configuring Edge Tunneling
  1. You can enable/disable Edge-tunneling from EdgeCloudService in Cloud Service.
  2. Gateway Key must be correctly configured as per the provided Access-Secret-key pair, otherwise tunnelling will not start.
  3. The Edge-Tunnel URL or its status can be seen in the Status tab of Edge.
  4. Loading of the URL for the first time might take some time.
  5. Also while switching between tabs in Edge (like from one adapter to another or Cloud Services ) , might take some time/reload.
  6. Once any window/Adapter is loaded, the configuration can be done seamlessly.
  7. A button which will redirect to the Edge-tunnel is added in the Datonis' Gateways Window - https://www.datonis.io/gateway2

Other Enhancements

Added Encyption for OPC DA and OPC UA password fields in the Adapter connection forms.

Fixed Monitor Updates feature for File based Adapters - CSV Adapter, XML Adapter.
