Datonis Edge 6.0 Release Notes

Additions/Changes

[28_August_2020]

Edge++ Service

• Edge++ allows building graphical dashboards and complex business-logic implementation on the Edge.
• To achieve this, Edge++ service uses Redis datastore to send and receive data, alerts and instruction messages between Edge and the locally hosted FaaS Framework (which is a common component used by MInt as well).
• Configuration: Cloud Services -> Edge++ Service.
• Note: Requires Faas Setup [INTERNAL]

Forwarder Service

• Forwarder Engine allows easy on-boarding of customer’s hand-held devices (tablets) on the shop floor. These devices simply need to access local Edge instance, in order to access Datonis and MInt. This requires no additional changes in the customer's network/IT security settings or new IT infra components; eliminating procurement costs, involvement of IT / purchase teams and any subsequent delays.
• To achieve this, Datonis Edge acts as a strict proxy server which only allows traffic to and from *.datonis.io domain.
• Configuration: Cloud Services -> EdgeForwarderService.
• Prerequisite: Docker engine on Host machine.
• Note: Not supported for Docker distribution of Datonis Edge.

Create/Delete Test Adapter Instance

• This feature enables the user to create a Test Adapter instance of every Adapter in Datonis Edge. This instance can be used to test new configurations without losing any data and without affecting ongoing data transfer to Datonis. This significantly reduces dev+test cycles required for getting machine data to Datonis.

Failover HA Alerting

• In the Edge HA setup, the user can now know about the failures of either of the nodes in Edge HA instances via Datonis Alerts.

All Tags support for test-configuration

• This feature allows the user to see all the computed local tag values along with tag values to be sent to Datonis. This is useful while setting up Edge configurations.
