Feedback channel for the config data action

The usual behaviour is that when a new device registers at the server it is requested to provide the meta information that will allow the server to identify the device on a hardware level (e.g. hardware revision, mac address, serial number etc.).

path Parameters
tenant
required
string
controllerId
required
string
Request Body schema:
required
required
object

Link which is provided whenever the provisioning target or device is supposed to push its configuration data (aka. "controller attributes") to the server. Only shown for the initial configuration, after a successful update action, or if requested explicitly (e.g. via the management UI).

mode
string
Enum: "merge" "replace" "remove"

Optional parameter to specify the update mode that should be applied when updating target attributes. Valid values are 'merge', 'replace', and 'remove'. Defaults to 'merge'.

Feedback channel for the DeploymentBase action

Feedback channel. It is up to the device how much intermediate feedback is provided. However, the action will be kept open until the controller on the device reports a finished (either successful or error).

string
controllerId
required
string
actionId
required
integer <int64>

Feedback channel for actions waiting for confirmation

The device will use this resource to either confirm or deny an action which is waiting for confirmation. The action will be transferred into the RUNNING state in case the device is confirming it. Afterwards it will be exposed by the deploymentBase.

path Parameters
tenant
required
string
controllerId
required
string
actionId
required
integer <int64>
Request Body schema:
required
confirmation
required
string
Enum: "confirmed" "denied"

Interface to deactivate auto-confirmation for a specific controller

The device can use this resource to deactivate auto-confirmation. All active actions will remain unchanged while all future actions need to be confirmed, before processing with the deployment.

path Parameters
tenant
required
string
controllerId
required
string

Responses

  • "exceptionClass": "string",

Interface to activate auto-confirmation for a specific device

The device can use this resource to activate auto-confirmation. As a result all current active as well as future actions will automatically be confirmed by mentioning the initiator as triggered person. Actions will be automatically confirmed, as long as auto-confirmation is active.

path Parameters
tenant
required
string
controllerId
required
string
Request Body schema:
initiator
string

Individual value (e.g. username) stored as initiator and automatically used as confirmed user in future actions

remark
string

Individual value to attach a remark which will be persisted when automatically confirming future actions

Feedback channel for cancel actions

It is up to the device how much intermediate feedback is provided. However, the action will be kept open until the controller on the device reports a finished (either successful or error) or rejects the action, e.g. the canceled actions have been started already.

path Parameters
tenant
required
string
controllerId
required
string
actionId
required
integer <int64>

Root resource for an individual Target

This base resource can be regularly polled by the controller on the provisioning target or device in order to retrieve actions that need to be executed. Those are provided as a list of links to give more detailed information about the action. Links are only available for initial configuration, open actions, or the latest installed action, respectively. The resource supports Etag based modification checks in order to save traffic.

Note: deployments have to be confirmed in order to move on to the next action. Cancellations have to be confirmed or rejected.

Previously installed action

Resource to receive information of the previous installation. Can be used to re-retrieve artifacts of the already finished action, for example in case a re-installation is necessary. The response will be of the same format as the deploymentBase operation, providing the previous action that has been finished successfully. As the action is already finished, no further feedback is expected.

Keep in mind that the provided download links for the artifacts are generated dynamically by the update server. Host, port and path are not guaranteed to be similar to the provided examples below but will be defined at runtime.

path Parameters
tenant
required
string
controllerId
required

actionId

Resource for software module (Deployment Base)

Core resource for deployment operations. Contains all information necessary in order to execute the operation.

Keep in mind that the provided download links for the artifacts are generated dynamically by the update server. Host, port and path and not guaranteed to be similar to the provided examples below but will be defined at runtime.

path Parameters

required
integer <int64>
query Parameters
c
integer <int32>
Default: -1
actionHistory
string

(Optional) GET parameter to retrieve a given number of messages which are previously provided by the device. Useful if the devices sent state information to the feedback channel and never stored them locally.

Resource to request confirmation specific information for the controller

Core resource for confirmation related operations. While active actions awaiting confirmation will be referenced, the current auto-confirmation status will be shown. In case auto-confirmation is active, details like the initiator, remark and date of activation (as unix timestamp) will be provided. Reference links to switch the auto-confirmation state are exposed as well.

controllerId

Confirmation status of an action

Resource to receive information about a pending confirmation. The response will be of the same format as the deploymentBase operation. The controller should provide feedback about the confirmation first, before processing the deployment.
