Web Services

The Remote Manager modern v1 API is a REST API with consistent naming and common payloads. This API accepts and returns json content.

The Remote Manager legacy web service API covers many objects which are also covered by the v1 modern API. Where possible, use the modern v1 API.

The legacy API is based on XML. For most APIs, you can get json payload by specifying the Accept HTTP header with a value of application/json.

Datapoint Condition Alert

Example: Datapoint condition alert

The following example alert payload represents a DataPoint condition alert. This alert might be used to determine if action (replacing a battery) is needed for a device that is tracking voltage.

The alert fires when the value uploaded to the data stream */drivestats/voltage is less than 10 volts for 30 minutes. The alert resets when the voltage value is greater than or equal to 10 volts for 15 minutes (for example, the battery was replaced or charged).

The wildcard (*) character used in the scope.value field indicates that any device uploading this stream is the target for the alert (the Device ID is always the first component of a stream name and this alert targets data streams.

Create alerts

Use the POST v1/alerts/inventory web service to create alerts for your account.

URI

https://<hostname>/ws/v1/alerts/inventory

API Usage

There are no parameters for the POST ws/v1/alerts/inventory API.

Specify an HTTP header of Content-Type: application/json and post json payload describing the alert or alerts.

Request Payload

To create multiple alerts, use a list syntax. For a single alert, the list syntax is not required.

[
	{ ...alert1 },
	{ ...alert2 },
	...
	{ ...alertN }
]

Successful Response

Upon success, the alert is returned. The returned alert may differ from the input alert because default values are supplied in the returned alert. A list response is returned whether the POST created single or multiple alerts.

{
	"count": N,
	"list" : [
		{ ...alert1 },
		{ ...alert2 },
		...
		{ ...alertN },
	]
}

Error Response

When creating multiple alerts, if any alert is successfully created, a response of 207 and error information for the failed responses are returned.

In the following example response payload, the second alert failed. The HTTP response is 207 because one alert (alert1) was created successfully, and the second item in the list has error values indicating the problem with the second alert (alert2).

{
	"count": N,
	"list": [
		{ ...alert1 },
		{ 
		"error_context": { ...alert2 },
		"error_message": "The error message",

Info

For an automation containing the reboot and firmware_update steps, the default value for the wait_for_reconnect parameter is true. Other step types default to false for wait_for_reconnect.

To delete a run or schedule:

Use the DELETE ws/v1/automations/inventory/{id} web service and specify “true” for either or both delete_runs or delete_schedules parameters to also delete any runs or schedules associated with an automation at the same time.

To update the end time for an automation after the start time has occurred use the PUT /ws/v1/automations/schedules/inventory/ with payload such as:

{
  "end_time": "2022-03-15T17:40:00.000Z"
}

To remove end_time from a schedule, set end_time to empty string.

Info
  • Automation steps are referenced by 1-based indexing, so step 1 is the first step.
  • The automation step for “sleep” can sleep (or pause) or a maximum of 3 days.
    • The sleep step accepts a “value” parameter of the form “2s”, “2m”, “2h” or “2d” to sleep for 2 seconds, minutes, hours or days respectively. If no suffix character is used, the sleep value is interpreted as seconds.
  • The device properties step allow a subset of device properties to be managed by Automations. Device properties that can be managed by Automations: tags, description, notes, maintenance_mode, and group.

v1/configs

Use the v1/configs API to create, update, or retrieve managed device configurations.

A managed configuration is a set of rules that define how devices are configured and how they are kept in compliance. A managed configuration can be applied to groups of devices. The configuration is applied to all devices in the group that match the type and vendor ID specified in the configuration.

A managed configuration can be applied to multiple groups, but a group can have only one active (enabled) configuration for a given type and vendor ID.

Scanning occurs when a device in the group is first connected to Remote Manager and when the configuration is scheduled to scan the device. A scan can be done manually and other events in the system can also trigger a scan. See the scan_frequency field for more information about conditions that trigger a scan.

See the Automations and Firmware APIs for more information about creating and managing automations and firmware.

On Remediate Action Fields

At the end of a configuration scan that detects a device that is not in compliance and makes it compliant you can reboot the device or run an automation. This step occurs before any On Success actions.

automation_name

The automation to run at the end of the scan that remediated the device. The scan waits for the automation to complete. If the automation fails the scan fails as well. The automation for the remediate action is run after the device is rebooted, if the reboot field is true.

reboot

Boolean that indicates if the device should be rebooted after the scan that remediated the device. The reboot occurs before any On Success actions. Note that a firmware update may also reboot the device, by specifying this field you can reboot again, later in the scan. For example, after the firmware update occurs, and the device reconnects, some configuration changes or installing applications or containers may require a reboot to take effect. The reboot occurs before any automation specified in the remediate action

On Scan Action Fields

At the start of a configuration scan you can run an automation. The automation could, for example, run a CLI command on the device to flash the LEDs so that you can identify the device in a rack or set a tag on the device to indicate an update is in progress.

automation_name

The automation to run at the beginning of the scan. The scan waits for the automation to complete. If the automation fails the scan fails as well.

On Successful Scan Action Fields

At the successful completion of a configuration scan you can run an automation. The automation could, for example, run a CLI command on the device to turn off the flasshing LEDs or set a tag on the device to indicate an update was completed. Successful completion occurs if the device is already in compliance or if the scan successfully makes the device compliant. This step occurs after any On Remediate actions.

automation_name

The automation to run at the successful completion of the scan. The scan waits for the automation to complete. If the automation fails the scan fails as well.

Settings

Each configuration can manage common settings and site-specific settings for devices in the fleet.

  • Common settings are those settings that have the same value applied to all devices managed by the configuration. An example of a common setting might be a timeout value for connections. All devices managed by the configuration use the same timeout value.
  • Site-specific settings vary in value across devices managed by the configuration. An example of a site-specific setting might be an IP address. The IP address assigned to each device differs so all devices can work on the same network.

Site-specific settings can be marked as required or optional.

  • The configuration scan fails when required site specific settings are not present.
  • If optional site-specific settings are not present the common setting is applied for that value.
Warning

The Remote Manager UI uses its own conventions when updating configurations and settings. Using different conventions might cause your configuration or settings not to work with the UI. The recommended approach is to use the UI or API to manage your configurations and settings, but not both. Some conventions of the UI include but are not limited to:

  • A specific naming for the device_fileset setting that allows the UI to separately manage files referenced by the configuration
  • Using optional settings attributes like @managed at every level of the configuration instead of utilizing the hierarchical nature of those values.
  • Leaving values out of the settings payload that are unset instead of setting them to an empty string or spaces.
Info

For historical reasons, an API payload describes each setting using a scope value. The scope of a setting is common, mixed, and matched. You can think of it as if the scope value describes where the setting comes from when being applied to a device.

  • common - The setting is applied from only the common value
  • mixed - Allow a site-specific setting. The setting is applied based on either the common or the site-specific value. If both are present, the site-specific value takes precedence. I.e. The site-specific value is optional.
  • matched - Require a site-specific setting. The setting is applied based only on the site-specific value. The scan fails for a device if the setting is not present in the site-specific settings for a device.

Configuration common settings

Settings are managed by using GET, PUT, DELETE methods of the /ws/v1/configs/inventory/{id}/settings API where {id} is the configuration ID.

Info

The payload for common settings is complex and its structure and valid values depends on the type of device. A good strategy for creating common settings payloads is to use the Remote Manager user interface to create a configuration by importing settings from a device into the configuration. Once you have a configuration, use the GET API to retrieve the settings. Continue to use the UI to experiment with the settings and their values for the type of devices you are managing.

GET Common settings

Consider a GET call to the /ws/v1/configs/inventory/6415/settings API. The API might return the following payload.

NOTE: Only 5 of the system settings are shown here, the full configuration settings contains hundreds of entries.

{
    "id": 6415,
    "customer_id": 57639,
    "system": {
      "#entries": [
        {
          "name": {
            "@managed": true,
            "@scope": "common",
            "#value": "TX64"
          },
          "contact": {
            "@managed": true,
            "@scope": "matched"
          },
          "location": {
            "@managed": true,
            "@scope": "mixed",
            "#value": "Rochester, MN"
          },
          "description": {
            "@managed": true,
            "@scope": "mixed"
          },
          "banner": {
            "@managed": false,
            "@scope": "common",
            "#value": "Welcome to the TX64"
          },
...etc...

Common settings payload elements

All entries in the settings tree follow the same format. The following table describes the elements of the settings payload shown above.

  • The system group represents a single group that contains a variety of different settings in the #entries list.

  • Each of those settings is marked @managed: true, which indicates that the setting is managed by the configuration. Set @managed to false so that the configuration does not manage/update the setting on the device. The ‘@managed’ setting is hierarchically applied by the system. If the @managed setting is set to false for a group, all settings in that group are set to false as well. If the @managed setting is set to true for a group, all settings in that group are set to true as well.

  • The name and banner settings are common. All devices in a scan will receive the same value for those settings, TX64 and Welcome to the TX64 respectively.

  • The contact setting is @scope: matched indicating it is a required site-specific setting. The value of the setting is determined by the value of the /system/1/contact site-specific setting. If the contact site-specific setting is not present in the site-specific, the configuration scan fails for the device missing the setting. See Site specific settings for more information about how to set site-specific settings.

  • The location setting is @scope: mixed indicating that it’s value is not required and can be a mix of either the value of the /system/1/location site-specific setting or the value in the associated #value field. See Site specific settings for more information about how to set site-specific settings.

  • Similarly, the description setting is @scope: mixed indicating that it’s value is not required and can be a mix of either the value of the /system/1/description site-specific setting or no value (since the associated #value field is absent).

PUT Common settings

A PUT to the /ws/v1/configs/inventory/{id}/settings API replaces the entire tree of existing settings with the new settings. The PUT payload is the same as the GET payload. Be sure to include all settings in the PUT payload, not just the settings you want to change.

Site specific settings

The Settings section described how to manage common settings for a configuration and how individual settings are marked as site-specific by setting the @scope property to mixed or matched

In the example below, we see that there are 3 settings marked as site-specific settings.

  • /system/1/contact - A required setting that must be present in the device’s site-specific settings
  • /system/1/location - An optional setting that can be present in the device’s site-specific settings. If not present the value Rochester, MN is used.
  • /system/1/description - An optional setting that can be present in the device’s site-specific settings. If not present the value used is empty

GET Site-specific settings

Retrieve site-specific settings for a device in one of two formats.

In the following example there are 2 devices that have site-specific settings specified.

The first device is identified by device_id 00000000-00000000-0040FFFF-FF8001B0 and sets the contact and description settings to Fred and Store Router respectively. Only that device receives those settings, the location setting is unset and therefore the common value of Rochester, MN is used.

The second device is identified by the device name. When the configuration scan encounters a device named Bus23, the contact, description, and location settings are set to Bob, Home Router, and Hopkins, MN respectively.

JSON Format

Retrieve site-specific settings for all devices that have site-specific settings in either JSON format using the GET method of the /ws/v1/configs/inventory/6415/settings/device API.

device_name,Bus23,Bob,"Home Router","Hopkins, MN"

GET Site-specific settings for a specific device

Retrieve site-specific settings for a specific device using the GET method and specifying either the device_name or the device_id parameter. If there are no site-specific settings currently set for the device, the result is an HTTP 404 error.

For example the result of the GET method of the /ws/v1/configs/inventory/6415/settings/device?device_id=00000000-00000000-0040FFFF-FF8001B0 API results in the following json.

{
    "customer_id": 57639,
    "id": 6415,
    "key_type": "device_id",
    "key_value": "00000000-00000000-0040FFFF-FF8001B0",
    "settings": {
        "system/1/contact": "Fred",
        "system/1/description": "Store Router"
    }
}

The result of the GET method of the /ws/v1/configs/inventory/6415/settings/device?device_name=Bus23 API results in the following json.

{
    "customer_id": 57639,
    "id": 6415,
    "key_type": "device_name",
    "key_value": "Bus23",
    "settings": {
        "system/1/contact": "Bob",
        "system/1/description": "Home Router",
        "system/1/location": "Hopkins, MN"
    }
}

Put site-specific settings

To update site specific settings for all devices, POST a multipart/form payload with a CSV file to the /ws/v1/configs/inventory/6415/settings/device/bulk API.

This payload replaced all existing site-specific settings for all devices with the settings for those devices specified in the CSV file. Devices that are not in the new settings file have their site-specific settings removed.

key_type,key_value,system/1/contact,system/1/description,system/1/location
device_id,"00000000-00000000-0040FFFF-FF8001B0",Fred,"Store Router",
device_name,Bus23,Bob,"Home Router","Hopkins, MN"
device_name,Bus42,Bill,"Shop Router","Byron, MN"
device_name,Bus99,Chris,"Store Router","Lewiston, MN"

Put site-specific settings for a specific device

To update site specific settings for a specific device, PUT a json payload to the /ws/v1/configs/inventory/6415/settings/device API using a device_id or device_name parameter.

This payload replaces all existing site-specific settings for the specified device with the settings specified in the payload. For example, POST the following payload to /ws/v1/configs/inventory/6415/settings/device?device_name=Bus99 will replace all site-specific settings for the Bus99 device.

{
    "settings": {
        "system/1/contact": "Chris",
        "system/1/description": "Store Router",
        "system/1/location": "Lewiston, MN"
    }
}

Delete site-specific settings for a specific device

To delete site specific settings for a specific device, DELETE to the /ws/v1/configs/inventory/6415/settings/device API using a device_id or device_name parameter.

For example, DELETE to /ws/v1/configs/inventory/6415/settings/device?device_name=Bus99 will delete all site-specific settings for the Bus99 device.

Create Single Device

Use the following API to create or update one or more devices. Almost all devices require specifying an install_code field. The install code field is the secure password printed on the device label. If you don’t have the install code, the device cannot be registered to your account.

The initial step of adding the device to your account is commonly called “provisioning” or “to provision” a device.

The request payload can include a single device or multiple devices. Multiple devices must be wrapped in an array for JSON. The response always returns the devices as a list.

The following sample JSON request creates a device with various settings. Most of the settings available in the Get Single Device page can be specified.

Request

POST /ws/v1/devices/inventory?bundle_device=true

About the bundle_device parameter

bundle_device=true causes the API to register a device as a Digi 360 device (also known as Lifecycle Assurance). The device is provisioned into your Remote Manager account and registered in Digi’s ERP systems. You should use this option unless you have good reason not to. One direct benefit is that the your Remote Manager device limit will never prevent you from provisioning this device if it is a 360/LCA device. Adding devices through the Remote Manager web interface uses this same behavior.

Specifying your reseller

You can optionally add a reseller field in the HTTP body payload. The value of that field must be numerical. This will help Digi bill renewals through your reseller. You can find your reseller’s numerical ID by using the following API:

GET /ws/v1/billing/partners

v1/events

The v1/events/inventory and v1/events/bulk APIs show the current event log. The event log stores audit records and other operations that have occurred in the system.

URI

http://<hostname>/ws/v1/events

Formats

HTTP method Format Description Parameters
GET /ws/v1/events Get a summary of the events APIs. None
GET /ws/v1/events/bulk Retrieve events for the current user’s account in CSV format. cursor end_time query size start_time fields
GET /ws/v1/events/inventory Retrieve events for the current user’s account. cursor end_time query size start_time

Event Data

Each event stores a variety of information about the operation. The fields are displayed below. Depending on the type of the operation some fields may be missing, have default values, or other fields may be present.

  • count - The count associated with the operation, if any
  • customer_id - The account in which the event occurred
  • details - The detail string describing the event. For example: “ui login authenticated”, “connected using protocol TLSv1.2 with cipher TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA and no client cert” or “RCI Facility,send_message”
  • duration - The number of milliseconds an operation took
  • end_time - The time the operation ended
  • facility - The Remote Manager facility that the operation is a part of. For example: AUTHENTICATION, COMMAND
  • id - The ID of the event. For example: d6cb13a3-2216-11ed-842b-0a6c5efc4b7c
  • ip - The IP address associated with the operation
  • jobs - The list of job IDs associated with the operation, if any
  • modification_type - The type of change associated with the operation. For example: CREATE, UPDATE, DELETE
  • protocol - The protocol describing how the operation occurred. For example: HTTP, EDP, KAFKA.
  • request_size - The size of the request payload associated with the operation
  • response_size - The size of the response payload associated with the operation
  • source - The source of the operation. For example: /ws/sci
  • start_time - The time the operation started
  • success - Boolean indicating if the operation was successful
  • target - The target object for the operation. For example: a device ID like 00000000-00000000-0040FFFF-FF8001B0
  • target_type - The type of object for the target of the operation. For example: DEVICE
  • user - The user (or device) that did the operation

Parameters

Parameters for the v1/events/inventory and v1/events/bulk APIs include the following:

Unlike other APIs, the orderby parameter cannot be specified. The event logs are strictly ordered from newest to oldest in the event log storage engine. Sort the events on the client side after retrieving the pagest of events.

Name Type Description
cursor string If a full page is returned and more events are available a cursor value is returned in the full page. The cursor parameter can be used to continue with the same query parameters and fetch the next page. For example, cursor=d7eec0d4-557a-11e9-ab8e-d20bcc91db8a
end_time timestamp or relative time Retrieve events occurring only before the specified time
fields string Comma-separated list of fields to return for bulk API
query string The Remote Manager query language query condition used to filter results
size integer Number of items to return. The maximum and default is 1000.
start_time timestamp or relative time Retrieve events occurring only after the specified time

Time parameters

The start_time and end_time parameters can be one of:

  • A timestamp specified as an ISO time format in UTC. For example: 2019-01-29T13:48:49Z
  • A timestamp value specified in milliseconds since the epoc in UTC. For example: 2019-01-29T13:48:49Z is specified as 1548769729000
  • A timestamp specified using a relative time shortcut as described below. For example, to see events between 1 and 2 hours ago, specify start_time=-2h and end_time=-1h

Relative timestamp shortcuts

A timestamp shortcut can be used to specify a time in the past relative to the time when the API is called. For example -1h represents objects from 1 hour ago. The relative times are not adjusted for the timezones or daylight saving time they represent. For example -1d is always exactly 24 hours ago.

  • -30s - 30 seconds ago
  • -15m - 15 minutes ago
  • -4h - 4 hours ago
  • -3d - 3 days ago (exactly 72 hours)
  • -2w - 2 weeks ago (exactly 14 days)
  • +30s - 30 seconds from now
  • +15m - 15 minutes from now

v1/files

Use the v1/files API to manage files.

URI

https://<hostname>/ws/v1/files

Formats

HTTP method Format Description Parameters
GET /ws/v1/files Get a summary of the /ws/v1/files APIs.
GET /ws/v1/files/bulk/{fileset} Export file data in CVS format for the specified fileset.
GET, POST, DELETE /ws/v1/files/inventory/{fileset}/{filepath} Create, get, or delete files.
GET /ws/v1/files/sets/bulk Export a list of files in CVS format.
GET /ws/v1/files/sets/inventory
DELETE /ws/v1/files/sets/inventory/{fileset}
GET, POST /ws/v1/files/inventory/{fileset}

v1/firmware

Use the v1/firmware API to list, search, and download Digi device firmware and modem firmware.

You can also use the v1/firmware API to create, list, update or remove custom firmware. This can be useful in products where Digi does not provide firmware or if you want to provide your own firmware and use it the same way as other Digi firmware, even in Automations or Configurations.

Info

Each user can store up to 10 GB of custom firmware. After reaching this limit, you will not be allowed to upload more custom firmware until you delete any image. If you need more space, please contact a Digi representative.

Some notes about these APIs:

  • Some of these APIs are available to an un-authenticated caller, other APIs require authentication or have features which require authentication. For example, setting the include_non_production parameter to true, requires that you have the permission to view non-production firmware, so an authenticated call is required.
  • These APIs are also available using the firmware.devicecloud.com hostname. It is recommended you use the firmware.devicecloud.com hostname to access these APIS. Using this hostname will isolate you from future changes in firmware hosting infrastructure.
  • The APIs for fetching firmware often redirect to another location. You should follow the redirect to get the firmware image.
  • The APIs for listing firmware often return a secure, signed and expiring link. You can safely share this link to download the firmware image, but the link will usually expire in 24 hours.

URI

https://<hostname>/ws/v1/firmware

Formats

HTTP method Format Description Authentication Required Required Parameter Parameters
GET /ws/v1/firmware Get summary of the device APIs. Yes

Payloads

The inventory_with_list API accepts a payload to filter the returned list. Specify one or more vendor IDs and device types to filter the list. The payload is a JSON array of objects with the following fields:

[{
    "vendor_id": "FE00000A",
    "device_type": "Digi EX15"
},
{
  "vendor_id": "FE00000A",
  "device_type": "Digi TX64"
}]

Path Parameters

These parameters are required in the URL path of some API calls.

Name Type Description
device_type string The device type of the firmware. Requires encoding special characters (link blanks) correctly.
filename string Usually optional, but might be required for the client calling the API so that the file can be saved locally.
model_name string Usually the same as the device type, but requires representing blanks as a slash (/) character, creating a new URL path component. For example: GET https://firmware.devicecloud.com/ws/v1/firmware/download/Digi/EX15/22.11.48.10/test.bin where Digi EX15 is the model name
vendor_id string The vendor ID of the firmware in hex. For example, Devices running DAL OS usually have a vendor ID of FE00000A, so the list request is GET https://firmware.devicecloud.com/ws/v1/firmware/inventory/FE00000A/Digi%20TX64

Parameters

Name Type Description
size integer Number of items to return. The maximum and default is 1000.

v1/monitors

Use the v1/monitors API to monitor Remote Manager activity and push notifications to a client application. Each configured monitor specifies the Remote Manager events or activities to monitor, the notification mechanism, and the transport type (tcp, http or polling).

For a practical tutorial with monitors, see Tutorial: Experimenting with Remote Manager Monitors

Note The tutorial uses the XML based APIs. The concepts are identical to the json APIs described here.

Monitored events can include

  • Data: Data pushed into Remote Manager from remote gateways in the form of DataPoints (directly or through DIA or Smart Energy), FileData, and so on.
  • Status: General status updates such as connection status, remote device availability, and so on.
  • Alarms: Alarm status updates, such as when alarms are triggered or reset.

FileData and FileDataCore events are not published when the file size is larger than 120K. Delete operations for FileData events are never published.

The Monitor web service is available only for Remote Manager accounts with a subscription to the Push Monitor service.

History

Use the v1/monitors/history API to retrieve saved push events that may have been sent or have yet to be sent to push monitors. This feature is available for customers who are subscribed to the Push Monitor service.

Not all monitors save push events. Monitors that support saving of push events (sometimes called persistent monitors) can have those events replayed on restart and the history can be retrieved. When a monitor is updated to change the topics that are being monitored, existing saved push events are not affected. Regardless of when the events are generated, event timestamps are saved using the server timestamp. Queries using this API with start_time or end_time parameters restrict the returned events based on the server timestamps of those events. Queries using this API with a cursor or when receiving more than one push event, enable the return of a polling cursor.

Polling cursor

In addition to the normal paged output options for version 1 web services (for example, count, size, cursor and next_uri), the monitors/history API supports polling for subsequent results by returning a polling cursor (result elements polling_cursor and polling_uri). The polling cursor is returned for every monitors/history query that has returned any results or has received a cursor as input, allowing a continuation of that query at a later time.

You can always use a polling_cursor to poll for any added push events (which are ordered by timestamp) that were saved by the monitor since the last call that returned the polling_cursor. If the API is paging through a large set of existing results, the polling cursor and the traditional cursor are both be set to an identical value. However, if all results have been returned for a continued query, no traditional cursor is set because all pages of existing results have been returned. Those results will still receive a polling_cursor element, allowing further continuation of those queries. The polling_cursor avoids having to manually calculate the required timestamp and add the start_time parameter to subsequent queries: use the polling_cursor or the polling_uri directly to retrieve subsequent data.

Elements

acknowledgement

For TCP monitors only. Indicates whether the client will explicitly acknowledge TCP push events or allow Remote Manager to automatically acknowledge events when sent. Options include: explicit or off. The default is off.

add_headers

Accepted only in the monitor update (PUT) request.

For HTTP monitors only. A list of HTTP header names and values to add to the monitor. The headers specified here replace any existing headers of the same name.

Use the following format:

[
  "header-name: header-value",
  "header-name-2: header-value-2"
]

See the headers and remove_headers fields for related information.

auth_token

For HTTP monitors only. Credentials for basic authentication in the following format:

username:password

Use the headers field to specify the Authorization or other proprietary header to use an authentication model other than Basic.

The auth_token field and header values are never exposed once set.

auth_token_set

For HTTP monitors only. If the auth_token is set for the monitor, this field is set to true. If the auth_token is not set for the monitor, this field is not present or set to false.

batch_duration

Specifies an upper bound on the number of seconds messages are aggregated before sending. The default is 10.

batch_size

For HTTP and TCP monitors. Specifies an upper bound on how many messages are aggregated before sending a batch. The default is 100.

compression

Keyword that specifies the method used to compress messages. Options include: zlib or none. The default is none. For zlib, the deflate algorithm is used to compress the data; use inflate to decompress the data.

connect_timeout

For HTTP monitors only. Time in milliseconds Remote Manager waits when attempting to connect to the destination http server. A value of 0 means use the system default of 5000 (5 seconds). Most monitors do not need to configure this setting.

customer_id

Remote Manager identifier for the customer.

description

Optional text field used to label or describe the monitor.

format

Only used for http or tcp monitors, indicates the format of the delivered data.

  • xml
  • json

headers

For HTTP monitors only. A list of HTTP header names and values in the following format:

[
  "header-name: header-value",
  "header-name-2: header-value-2"
]

Returned in the GET response only as a comma separated list of header names. The auth_token field and header values are never exposed once set.

For example:

[
  "header-name",
  "header-name-2"
]

See the add_headers and remove_headers fields for related information.

id

System-generated identifier for the monitor.

last_connect

Returned in the GET response. Specifies last connection time to the client application.

last_sent

Returned in the GET response. Specifies the timestamp of the last message pushed to the client application.

last_sent_uuid

The UUID of the last sent event. The UUIDs of events can be used to uniquely track delivered events if necessary.

method

For HTTP monitors only. HTTP method to use for sending data: PUT or POST. The default is PUT.

persistent

Boolean value that specifies whether Remote Manager replays any missed published events before any new published events are forwarded. A value of true indicates missed published events are replayed. False indicates missed published events are not replayed. The default is false. In /ws/Monitor API, this field corresponds to the monAutoReplayOnConnect field.

response_timeout

For HTTP monitors only. Time in milliseconds Remote Manager waits for a response for pushed events from the http server. A value of 0 means use the system default of 5000 (5 seconds). Most monitors do not need to configure this setting.

remove_headers

Accepted only in the monitor update (PUT) request.

For HTTP monitors only. A list of HTTP header names to remove from the monitor

Use the following format:

[
  "header-name",
  "header-name-2"
]

See the headers and add_headers fields for related information.

schema

Monitors can use a templating language to transform from the Remote Manager data schema to an external schema. The schema language is Handlebars.

See Tutorial: Monitors with Templated Payloads for more details.

For example, a translation schema for a monitor using the DataPoint/00000000-00000000-00000000-00000000/metrics/sys/* topic:

[{{#eachFiltered this}}{{#if @index}},{{/if}}
  {
    "timestamp": "{{formatTime DataPoint.timestamp}}",
    "stream": "{{DataPoint.streamId}}",
    "value": "{{DataPoint.data}}",
    "device": "{{firstPathComponent DataPoint.streamId}}"
  }{{/eachFiltered}}
]

Generates output to the HTTP target (or in the ws/v1/monitors/history query) that looks like this (Note that only two events are shown):

[
  {
    "timestamp": "2022-09-12T21:39:00.000Z",
    "stream": "00000000-00000000-00000000-00000000/metrics/sys/cpu/used",
    "value": "57.490000",
    "device": "00000000-00000000-00000000-00000000"
  },
  {
    "timestamp": "2022-09-12T21:39:00.000Z",
    "stream": "00000000-00000000-00000000-00000000/metrics/sys/mem/used",
    "value": "42.900000",
    "device": "00000000-00000000-00000000-00000000"
  }
]

For the above schema translation, the original Remote Manager DataPoint data looks like the following. This is the data that is delivered from a monitor that does not use a schema template.

Note: In this example, the context data is shown. The context data is used only by the schema language template. It is not sent to HTTP or TCP monitors. See the include_context parameter on the v1/monitors/history API.

  }
]

schema_type

If a schema is specified, the schema_type of handlebars must be specified.

status

Returned in the GET response. Specifies the current connection status to the client application.

Status Description
connecting For HTTP monitors only. Remote Manager is attempting to connect to the configured HTTP server. Once connected, the state changes to active.
active Monitor is connected and saving and/or publishing events.
inactive Monitor is not connected and events are not published or recorded.
suspended For monitors with persistent = true, the monitor has disconnected, but publish events are recorded for later replay.
disabled For HTTP monitors only. If a monitor has not connected for 24 hours, the state is set to disabled, and publish events are not recorded for later retrieval or replay. A disabled monitor must be reconfigured via the v1/monitors web service. A PUT request to update the monitor will re-enable it.
disconnect Monitor is currently disconnecting, and events are not being published. For monitors with persistent = true, events are recorded for later retrieval or replay. (Dashboard shows status as Disconnecting.)

Any PUT request to a monitor resets the monitor state.

topics

A list of one or more topics to monitor. For example:

[
    "devices",
    "DataPoint"
]

Supported monitor topics include:

  • alert_status
  • devices
  • firmware_updates
  • firmware_updates_progress
  • jobs
  • Alarm
  • AlarmStatus
  • CLIEvent
  • DataPoint
  • DataStream
  • DeviceCore
  • FileData
  • FileDataCore
  • Job
  • JobResult
  • XbeeCore

The following monitor topics have been deprecated and should not be used: DiaChannelDataFull, XbeeAttributeDataCore, XbeeEventDataCore.

FileData and FileDataCore events are not published when the file size is larger than 120K. Delete operations for FileData events are not published.

DataStream updates publish changes to DataStream attributes only, not currentValues. To get changes for currentValue, monitor the DataPoint topic to get changes to the current value as they arrive.

To monitor Specify
general topic Resource name only. For example:DataPoint monitors all DataPoint events.
specific resource Resource name followed by the resource ID using standard REST slash conventions. For example:DataPoint/00000000-00000000-00000000-00000000 monitors DataPoint events reported by the specific device. You can determine the specific resource ID by first using the general topic and examining the delivered payload.
scope by type of operation By default, all operations for the specified monitor topic are monitored. To limit the monitor topic to specific operations, prefix the monitor topic with the operation qualifier. Valid operations are C for create, U for any update, D for delete. For example, to monitor update operations only for devices:[operation=U]devices. To monitor create and update operations for devices:[operation=C,U]devices
scope by group Some objects are identified by the group that they are in. By default, all groups for the specified event/topic are monitored. To limit the monitor topic to one or more groups, prefix the monitor topic with the group qualifier. For example:[group=America,Columbia]devices
scope by operation and group To use both the operation and the group qualifiers, prefix the monitor topic with both qualifiers:[operation=C,U,D][group=America,Columbia]devices Note You can prefix the qualifiers in any order.
special characters URL encode the following special characters when specifying additional subtopic components:/ (forward slash), % (percent sign), . (period), * (asterisk), [ (open bracket), ] (close bracket). When monitor topics are reported, components are URL encoded. This allows for easy parsing of monitor topics. The general procedure is to split the published topic string on the slash / separator character and then URL decode the identified components.
DataPoint wildcards You can use the * wildcard for creating a combination of a general and a specific topic for DataPoint data. For example, the topic DataPoint/*/metrics/sys/* will monitor DataPoint events reported by any device in the system for any stream that starts with metrics/sys. For example, this topic would cause DataPoints for streams 00000000-00000000-00000000-00000000/metrics/sys/uptime and 00000000-00000000-00000000-00000000/metrics/sys/cpu/used to both be returned. The * character represents a single path component, while the terminal * character represents any number of path components

type

The type of the monitor. Valid types are polling, http or tcp.

  • Polling monitors collect information inside of Remote Manager for eventual retrieval via the v1/monitors/history API. The v1/monitors/history API uses efficient mechanisms and paging to allow you to very quickly retrieva data from a bookmark (cursor) where you last stopped reading.
  • HTTP monitors are used to send push events to a client application via HTTP PUT or POST call. See HTTP/HTTPS transport protocol
  • TCP monitors are used when a client application wants to connect with a TCP protocol TCP Transport to fetch monitor events.

url

For HTTP monitors only. URL of the customer web server. For http URLs, the default listening port is 80; for https URLs, the default listening port is 443.

History Fields

Among other values, the monitors/history API outputs these unique fields:

Name Type Description
polling_cursor string Returned for every monitors/history query that has returned any results or has received a cursor as input, allowing an efficient continuation of the query at a later time.
next_uri string URI value that can be used to request the next page of data. No value is returned if there are no more pages available.
polling_uri string Returned for every monitors/history query that has returned any results. Allows an efficient continuation of the query at a later time.

Cellular Utilization

Remote Manager generates cellular utilization reports that can categorize devices cell plan use.

The device reports cellular utilization in a set of metric streams. On a DAL (Digi Accelerated Linux) device, the cellular utilization metric streams must be enabled using Monitoring -> Device Health -> Enable device metric samples upload configuration setting.

For a DAL (Digi Accelerated Linux) device, the monitored metric streams are

  • metrics/cellular/M/simS/carrier
  • metrics/cellular/M/simS/provider
  • metrics/cellular/M/simS/rx/bytes
  • metrics/cellular/M/simS/tx/bytes

Where the M is the modem number and S is the sim number.

Use the v1/reports API to get a list of all available reports or a specific status report.

Query Parameters

The following query parameters have some unique behavior relative to other APIs.

groupby

Detail APIs

For the /ws/v1/reports/cellular_utilization and /ws/v1/reports/cellular_utilization/bulk APIs, specify none, device, carrier, or provider fields in the groupby parameter.

By default, and with the none value, when generating a detail report for each device, the cellular utilization is shown and there is no specific grouping. Grouping by none can generate a detail report with many rows for each device, depending on which combination of modem, sim, carrier, and provider were used when the traffic was generated.

Grouping by device fields generates a detail report with a single bytes_sent, bytes_received and total values for each device regardless which modem, sim, carrier, or provider was used for the traffic. The modem, sim, carrier and provider fields are not included in the report.

Similarly, grouping by carrier or provider fields generates a detail report with a single bytes_sent, bytes_received and total values for each carrier or provider used by a devce regardless which modem or sim was used for the traffic. The modem, sim, and the other provider or carrier fields are not included in the report.

For none or when groupby is not specified, example data is shown below (shown as a table instead of json or csv):

name   device_id                            device_type     group      firmware_version   provider  carrier    modem  sim   bytes_sent  bytes_received  total

intelliFlow

Remote Manager generates intelliFlow reports for devices with intelliFlow data collection enabled.

An intelliFlow report categorizes traffic from host systems through end devices to server systems.

The host system is typically a PC or IOT device getting a DHCP address from the end device. The end device is typically a cellular router that connects directly to Remote Manager for statistics and management services. The host system typically communicates via the end device to many servers for email, web browsing or other network services via TCP/IP.

On a DAL (Digi Accelerated Linux) device, the intelliFlow data reporting must be enabled using Monitoring -> intelliFlow -> Enable intelliFlow setting.

Use the v1/reports API to get a list of all available reports or a specific status report.

Direct Device Uploads

Devices can upload directly to data streams over any of the existing transports (TCP, UDP, SMS, and Satellite). The path specified in the data service message begins with DataPoint and the rest of the message is mapped to a data stream appended to the device ID.

For example, if the device sends a data point file specifying the filename DataPoint/temp1, the data point is added to the data stream /temp1. The file must follow one of the expected formats and must specify the format via the file extension. The following types are supported for a given extension:

Format Extension Description
XML .xml XML representation same as the /ws/DataPoint interface.
CSV .csv Comma separated list. One data point per line with details separated by commas.
Binary .bin Whatever the content of the uploaded data is directly inserted to a single data point.

To maximize the speed and throughput of Remote Manager, limitations have been imposed on device uploads.

  • Maximum number of data points allowed per request: 250
  • Maximum size of Send Data requests: 2MB
  • Maximum size of replies to Device Requests: 2MB
  • Maximum number of binary data points allowed: 64KB

When devices push data points up to Remote Manager, the description included refers to the data point, not the data stream. To view the description, you must retrieve data point via web services.

XML

XML format uses the same format used in /ws/DataPoint PUT. The stream id is ignored since it is provided by the path. Also, any streams listed in the forwardTo field will be normalized to the device’s stream. This is done to prevent one device from uploading data into another device’s stream.

<DataPoint>
    <data>42</data>
    <!-- Everything below this is optional -->
    <description>Temperature at device 1</description>
    <location>0.0, 0.0, 0.0</location> 
    <quality>99</quality>
    <dataType>float</dataType>
    <units>Kelvin</units>
</DataPoint>

For multiple data points in one message:

<list>
  <DataPoint>
    <data>42</data>
    <timestamp>1234566</timestamp>
  </DataPoint>
  <DataPoint>
    <data>43</data>
  </DataPoint>
</list>

CSV

An optional upload format is to specify the data in UTF-8 encoded comma separated values. Each line ('\n' terminated) specifies a data point. The default order is:

DATA, TIMESTAMP, QUALITY, DESCRIPTION, LOCATION, DATATYPE, UNITS, FORWARDTO

Meaning the following file:

data, 1,99,"my description",,INTEGER,kelvins,"stream1,stream2"
data2,2,50,"my description"
data3,3,25,"my description"

Would create 3 data points, set the stream’s units/type to kelvins/Integers, and have the data points with the data “data”, “data2”, and “data3”, using the epoch timestamps of 1, 2, and 3.

Note that location was omitted in the above example. You can omit values by leaving them empty or stopping before the end. For example:

**Empty values:**data,1,,,99

**Ending early:**data,1

Order can be overridden. You can define a header on the first line by starting it with a ‘#’ character, for example:

#TIMESTAMP,DATA
1, data
2, data2
3, data3

Will create 3 data points 1ms apart starting at epoch (1970).

Multiple datapoints for multiple streams from a device can be inserted in one message using the STREAMID value. When the STREAMID value is specified, the file name is no longer used for the stream name.

For example:

#STREAMID,DATA,TIMESTAMP
sensor1/port1,97,1
sensor1/port2,98,1
sensor2/port1,42,1
sensor2/port2,0,2

Will create 4 data points, one in each of 4 separate streams for the device. The first 3 data points are at 1ms after the epoch (1970) and the final data point is 1ms later.

The XML version is as follows:

<list>
<DataPoint><streamId>sensor1/port1</streamId><data>97</data><timestamp>1</timestamp></DataPoint>
<DataPoint><streamId>sensor1/port2</streamId><data>98</data><timestamp>1</timestamp></DataPoint>
<DataPoint><streamId>sensor2/port1</streamId><data>42</data><timestamp>1</timestamp></DataPoint>
<DataPoint><streamId>sensor2/port2</streamId><data>0</data><timestamp>2</timestamp></DataPoint>
</list>

Binary Concise Alternative Format

The disadvantage to using the XML format is that it is very verbose. This binary alternative format can be used to be more concise. You can specify a simple value instead of XML or CSV data. When the value is pushed to /DataPoint, it is stored in complete as-is in time-series data (in the exact binary format as provided). For details on endianness, bit lengths, and so on for supported data types see the dataType in the Data Streams section. However, data types are not required. Data can be 1 byte status indicators or 10k images but Remote Manager will not be able to provide rollups on things which do not use the specified formats.

For instance, the following data service message:

path: /DataPoint/temp1.bin
content: 42

Will result in a new data point with a value of “42” (in binary).

Note: The binary concise mechanism has the following limitations:

  • Only single values can be uploaded per data service message
  • Data must be smaller than 64k

Deciding which format to use when inserting data

Whitespace characters for the data value are preserved in all formats. Use quotes around the string for CSV format to preserve break lines. For binary data, we recommend you to use binary concise format. Binary concise format however can’t be used to create multiple data points in a single request. To create multiple binary data points in a single request, we recommend you to use a base64 encoded string.

DataPoint

The DataPoint API is a pre-version 1 API used to get, create, modify, or delete data points. Data points created by the API are supported. However, when creating new data streams, use the v1/streams API.

The DataPoint web service lists, creates, or deletes data points within a data stream.

URI

http://<hostname>/ws/DataPoint

Formats

Method Format Description
GET /ws/DataPoint/{streamId} List all data points for a data stream.
POST /ws/DataPoint/{streamId} Create one or more data points in a data stream.
DELETE /ws/DataPoint/{streamId} Delete an existing data point within a data stream.

Elements

id

Identifier for the data point.

cstId

Remote Manager identifier for the customer.

streamId

Full path for the stream that contains the data points. Typically this is the data stream that the data point belongs to, but if you are using replication (forwardTo) it may be different.

timestamp

Client-assigned timestamp. If there is no client-assigned timestamp, the serverTimestamp value is used.

serverTimestamp

Server-assigned timestamp that indicates when the data point was stored on the server. Not writable by the client.

data

Data value for the data point.

description

Description of the data.

quality

User-defined 32-bit integer value representing the quality of the data in the data point.

location

Geo-location information associated with the data point which indicates the location when the data point was recorded. Geo-location is represented as a comma-delimited list of floats in order of lat, long, elevation (degrees, degrees, meters).

dataType

Type of data stored in the data stream.

  • Integer: data can be represented with a network (= big-endian) 32-bit two’s-complement integer
  • Long: data can be represented with a network (= big-endian) 64-bit two’s complement integer
  • Float: data can be represented with a network (= big-endian) 32-bit IEEE754 floating point
  • Double: data can be represented with a network (= big-endian) 64-bit IEEE754 floating point
  • String: UTF-8
  • Binary
  • Unknown

units

User-defined name for the units in which data is reported.

forwardTo

Comma-delimited list of data streams to which to forward the data points.

Parameters

Name Type Description
startTime timestamp Start time (inclusive) in ISO 8601 or epoch (long).
endTime timestamp End time (exclusive) in ISO 8601 or epoch (long).
timeline string Timestamps to use in the request: client or server. The default is client.
pageCursor string Cursor to get the next page of devices. Omit on initial call.
size integer Number of items to return. The maximum and default is 1000.
order string Return streams ordered by ID (asc | desc). The default is ascending (asc).
timezone string Timezone in which to calculate rollups. Applies only to rollups with intervals of day or longer.
rollupInterval string Rollup interval: half, hour, day, week, or month. The default is hour.
rollupMethod string Rollup method: sum, average, min, max, count, or standarddev. The default is average.

Direct Device Uploads

Devices can upload directly to data streams over any of the existing transports (TCP, UDP, SMS, and Satellite). The path specified in the data service message begins with DataPoint and the rest of the message is mapped to a data stream appended to the device ID.

For example, if the device sends a data point file specifying the filename DataPoint/temp1, the data point is added to the data stream /temp1. The file must follow one of the expected formats and must specify the format via the file extension. The following types are supported for a given extension:

Format Extension Description
XML .xml XML representation same as the /ws/DataPoint interface.
CSV .csv Comma separated list. One data point per line with details separated by commas.
Binary .bin Whatever the content of the uploaded data is directly inserted to a single data point.

To maximize the speed and throughput of Remote Manager, limitations have been imposed on device uploads.

  • Maximum number of data points allowed per request: 250
  • Maximum size of Send Data requests: 2MB
  • Maximum size of replies to Device Requests: 2MB
  • Maximum number of binary data points allowed: 64KB

When devices push data points up to Remote Manager, the description included refers to the data point, not the data stream. To view the description, you must retrieve data point via web services.

XML

XML format uses the same format used in /ws/DataPoint PUT. The stream id is ignored since it is provided by the path. Also, any streams listed in the forwardTo field will be normalized to the device’s stream. This is done to prevent one device from uploading data into another device’s stream.

<DataPoint>
    <data>42</data>
    <!-- Everything below this is optional -->
    <description>Temperature at device 1</description>
    <location>0.0, 0.0, 0.0</location> 
    <quality>99</quality>
    <dataType>float</dataType>
    <units>Kelvin</units>
</DataPoint>

For multiple data points in one message:

<list>
  <DataPoint>
    <data>42</data>
    <timestamp>1234566</timestamp>
  </DataPoint>
  <DataPoint>
    <data>43</data>
  </DataPoint>
</list>

CSV

An optional upload format is to specify the data in UTF-8 encoded comma separated values. Each line ('\n' terminated) specifies a data point. The default order is:

DATA, TIMESTAMP, QUALITY, DESCRIPTION, LOCATION, DATATYPE, UNITS, FORWARDTO

Meaning the following file:

data, 1,99,"my description",,INTEGER,kelvins,"stream1,stream2"
data2,2,50,"my description"
data3,3,25,"my description"

Would create 3 data points, set the stream’s units/type to kelvins/Integers, and have the data points with the data “data”, “data2”, and “data3”, using the epoch timestamps of 1, 2, and 3.

Note that location was omitted in the above example. You can omit values by leaving them empty or stopping before the end. For example:

**Empty values:**data,1,,,99

**Ending early:**data,1

Order can be overridden. You can define a header on the first line by starting it with a ‘#’ character, for example:

#TIMESTAMP,DATA
1, data
2, data2
3, data3

Will create 3 data points 1ms apart starting at epoch (1970).

Multiple datapoints for multiple streams from a device can be inserted in one message using the STREAMID value. When the STREAMID value is specified, the file name is no longer used for the stream name.

For example:

#STREAMID,DATA,TIMESTAMP
sensor1/port1,97,1
sensor1/port2,98,1
sensor2/port1,42,1
sensor2/port2,0,2

Will create 4 data points, one in each of 4 separate streams for the device. The first 3 data points are at 1ms after the epoch (1970) and the final data point is 1ms later.

The XML version is as follows:

<list>
<DataPoint><streamId>sensor1/port1</streamId><data>97</data><timestamp>1</timestamp></DataPoint>
<DataPoint><streamId>sensor1/port2</streamId><data>98</data><timestamp>1</timestamp></DataPoint>
<DataPoint><streamId>sensor2/port1</streamId><data>42</data><timestamp>1</timestamp></DataPoint>
<DataPoint><streamId>sensor2/port2</streamId><data>0</data><timestamp>2</timestamp></DataPoint>
</list>

Binary Concise Alternative Format

The disadvantage to using the XML format is that it is very verbose. This binary alternative format can be used to be more concise. You can specify a simple value instead of XML or CSV data. When the value is pushed to /DataPoint, it is stored in complete as-is in time-series data (in the exact binary format as provided). For details on endianness, bit lengths, and so on for supported data types see the dataType in the Data Streams section. However, data types are not required. Data can be 1 byte status indicators or 10k images but Remote Manager will not be able to provide rollups on things which do not use the specified formats.

For instance, the following data service message:

path: /DataPoint/temp1.bin
content: 42

Will result in a new data point with a value of “42” (in binary).

Note: The binary concise mechanism has the following limitations:

  • Only single values can be uploaded per data service message
  • Data must be smaller than 64k

Deciding which format to use when inserting data

Whitespace characters for the data value are preserved in all formats. Use quotes around the string for CSV format to preserve break lines. For binary data, we recommend you to use binary concise format. Binary concise format however can’t be used to create multiple data points in a single request. To create multiple binary data points in a single request, we recommend you to use a base64 encoded string.

Monitor

Use the Monitor web service to monitor Remote Manager activity and push notifications to a client application. Each configured monitor specifies the Remote Manager events or activities to monitor, the notification mechanism, and the transport type (TCP, HTTP, or Polling).

Monitored events can include:

  • Data: Data pushed into Remote Manager from remote gateways in the form of DataPoints (directly or through DIA or Smart Energy), FileData, and so on.
  • Status: General status updates such as connection status or remote device availability.
  • Alarms: Alarm status updates, such as when alarms are triggered or reset.

FileData and FileDataCore events are not published when the file size is larger than 120K. Delete operations for FileData events are never published.

The Monitor web service is available only for Remote Manager accounts with a subscription to the Push Monitor service.

For information on retrieving saved pushed notifications or resetting a monitor, see v1/monitors.

URI

http://<hostname>/ws/Monitor

Formats

HTTP method Format Description
GET /ws/Monitor Get a list of all configured monitors.
GET /ws/Monitor/{monId} Get details for a specific monitor.
POST /ws/Monitor Create a new monitor to push event notifications.
PUT /ws/Monitor/{monId} Update an existing monitor. Note that any PUT request to a monitor resets the monitor state.
DELETE /ws/Monitor/{monId} Delete a monitor.

Elements

monId

System-generated identifier for the monitor.

cstId

Remote Manager identifier for the customer.

monFormatType

Format for delivered event data:

  • xml
  • json

monTopic

One or more topics to monitor. Supported monitor topics include:

  • alert_status

  • devices

  • jobs

  • Alarm

  • AlarmStatus

  • DataPoint

  • DataStream

  • DeviceCore

  • FileData

  • FileDataCore

  • Job

  • JobResult

  • XbeeCore

The following monitor topics have been deprecated and should not be used: DiaChannelDataFull, XbeeAttributeDataCore, XbeeEventDataCore.

FileData and FileDataCore events are not published when the file size is larger than 120K. Delete operations for FileData events are not published.

DataStream updates publish changes to DataStream attributes only, not currentValues. To get changes for currentValue, monitor the DataPoint topic to get changes to the current value as they arrive.

To monitor Specify
general topic Resource name only. For example:DataPointMonitors all DataPoint events.
specific resource Resource name followed by the resource ID using standard REST slash conventions. For example:DataPoint/00000000-00000000-00000000-00000000Monitors DataPoint events reported by the specific device.
multiple topics Comma-delimited list of topics. For example:DataPoint,DeviceCoreMonitors all DataPoint and Device data for the current customer.
scope by operation By default, all operations for the specified monitor topic are monitored. To limit the monitor topic to specific operations, prefix the monitor topic with the operation qualifier. Valid operations:C for createU for any updateD for deleteFor example, to monitor update operations only for DeviceCore:[operation=U]DeviceCoreTo monitor create and update operations for DeviceCore:[operation=C,U]DeviceCore
scope by group By default, all groups for the specified monitor topic are monitored. To limit the monitor topic to one or more groups, prefix the monitor topic with the group qualifier. For example:[group=America,Columbia]DeviceCore
scope by operation and group To use both the operation and the group qualifiers, prefix the monitor topic with both qualifiers:[operation=C,U,D][group=America,Columbia]DeviceCore Note You can prefix the qualifiers in any order.
special characters URL encode the following special characters when specifying additional subtopic components:/ (forward slash)% (percent sign). (period)* (asterisk)[ (open bracket)] (close bracket)When monitor topics are reported, components are URL encoded. This allows for easy parsing of monitor topics. The general procedure is to split the published topic string on the backslash (/) separator character and then URL decode the identified components.

monTransportHeaders

For HTTP transport type only. HTTP header fields in the following format:

header-name: header-value
header-name-2: header-value-2 

Returned in the GET response. Returned as a comma separated list of header names.

monTransportType

Transport method used to deliver push notifications to the client application:

monTransportUrl

For HTTP transport type only. URL of the customer web server. For http URLs, the default listening port is 80; for https URLs, the default listening port is 443.

monTransportToken

For HTTP transport type only. Credentials for basic authentication in the following format:

username:password

monTransportMethod

For HTTP transport type only. HTTP method to use for sending data: PUT or POST. The default is PUT.

monConnectTimeout

For HTTP transport type only. Time in milliseconds Remote Manager waits when attempting to connect to the destination http server. A value of 0 means use the system default of 5000 (5 seconds). Most monitors do not need to configure this setting.

monResponseTimeout

For HTTP transport type only. Time in milliseconds Remote Manager waits for a response for pushed events from the http server. A value of 0 means use the system default of 5000 (5 seconds). Most monitors do not need to configure this setting.

monAckOption

For TCP transport type only. Indicates whether the client will explicitly acknowledge TCP push events or allow Remote Manager to automatically acknowledge events when sent. Options include: explicit or off. The default is off.

monBatchSize

Specifies an upper bound on how many messages are aggregated before sending a batch. The default is 100.

monBatchDuration

Specifies an upper bound on the number of seconds messages are aggregated before sending. The default is 10.

monCompression

Keyword that specifies the method used to compress messages. Options include: zlib or none. The default is none. For zlib, the deflate algorithm is used to compress the data; use inflate to decompress the data.

Note For backwards compatibility, gzip is accepted as a valid keyword. Compression has always been done using the deflate algorithm.

monAutoReplayOnConnect

Boolean value that specifies whether Remote Manager replays any missed published events before any new published events are forwarded. True indicates missed published events are replayed. False indicates missed published events are not replayed. The default is false.

monDescription

Optional text field used to label or describe the monitor.

monLastConnect

Returned in the GET response. Specifies last connection time to the client application.

monLastSent

Returned in the GET response. Specifies the last message pushed to the client application.

monStatus

Returned in the GET response. Specifies the current connection status to the client application.

Status Description
CONNECTING For HTTP monitors only. Remote Manager is attempting to connect to the configured HTTP server. Once connected, the state changes to ACTIVE.
ACTIVE Monitor is connected and publishing events.
INACTIVE Monitor is not connected and events are not published or recorded.
SUSPENDED For monitors with monAutoReplayOnConnect = True.Monitor has disconnected, but publish events are recorded for later replay.
DISABLED For HTTP monitors only. If a monitor has not connected for 24 hours, the state is set to DISABLED, and publish events are not recorded for replay. A disabled monitor must be reconfigured via the Monitor web service.
DISCONNECT Monitor is currently disconnecting, and events are not being published. For monitors with monAutoReplayOnConnect = True, events are recorded for later replay. (Dashboard shows status as Disconnecting.)

Recover Disabled Monitor

An HTTP monitor that is not able to successfully connect over a 24 hour period is disabled. Once disabled:

  • System alarm is generated to indicate the monitor state was changed to disabled.
  • Remote Manager does not make any more attempts to connect the monitor.
  • Persistent monitors no longer store missed monitor events.

To recover a disabled monitor, re-enable the monitor using the v1/monitors/inventory/{monitorId}/reset API and then wait for the monitor to reconnect.

Monitor HTTP/HTTPS Transport Protocol

This section highlights the details associated with an HTTPS or HTTP connection between the Remote Manager server and the customer web server. This is a high speed, transport over a HTTP connection. This transport requires that the customer has a publicly facing web server application. Remote Manager will be the HTTP client and will push any configured published events to the customer’s web server. This transport uses basic authentication and therefore HTTPS is recommended. HTTP is available for debugging or troubleshooting.

To configure an HTTP monitor, specify http as the monTransportType setting. Additionally, specify monTransportUrl, monTransportToken, and monTransportHeaders options.

monTransportType: (Required) Sets the transport type, TCP or HTTP. For HTTP, set the transport type to HTTP.

monTransportUrl: (Required) Specifies the URL of the customer web server. The URL should be of the following form:

http[s]://customer.domain.com/application/path

monTransportToken: (Required) Specifies the credentials for basic authentication in the following format:

username:password

monTransportMethod: (Optional) Specifies the HTTP method to use to send data: PUT or POST. The default is PUT.

The following example shows how to create an HTTP monitor:

<Monitor>
   <monTopic>DeviceCore,XbeeCore</monTopic>
   <monTransportType>http</monTransportType>
   <monTransportUrl>your website url</monTransportUrl>
   <monTransportToken>username:password</monTransportToken>
   <monTransportMethod>PUT</monTransportMethod>
   <monFormatType>json</monFormatType>
   <monBatchSize>100</monBatchSize>
   <monCompression>none</monCompression>
   <monBatchDuration>10</monBatchDuration>
</Monitor>

monTransportHeaders: (Optional) Specifies HTTP header fields in the following format:

header-name: header-value
header-name-2: header-value-2 

The standard and custom HTTP headers outlined below cannot be overridden.

Protocol

Once the HTTP monitor has been configured, the monitor will be activated and Remote Manager will connect to the customer’s web server. Any matching events will be published to the specified URL using the supplied token credentials. Please note that if the monitor’s URL or credentials are configured incorrectly or if the customer’s web server is unreachable, Remote Manager will periodically attempt to connect to the web server for up to 24 hours. The monitor will be disabled after 24 hours without a successful connection.

Events are published using the configured monTransportMethod: PUT or POST. The default is an HTTP PUT operation. The standard HTTP headers of the published event include:

  • Authorization: Basic…
  • Content-Type: “application/xml;charset=UTF-8” or “application/json;charset=UTF-8”
  • Content-Length: indicates how many bytes of payload data are in the message
  • [Content-Encoding: deflate] - if present, indicates the monitor event data is compressed

Additionally, the following custom header fields will be set to describe the payload being delivered:

  • Monitor-Protocol-Version: indicates what version of push protocol is being used. The current version is ‘1’.
  • Monitor-DataBlockId: a rotating integer ID that identifies the data block.
  • Monitor-Aggregate-Count: the number of publish events included in this batch.

The body of the PUT operation is the published event payload data. Its format, compression, and size are indicated in the headers above. The payload data format is the same as for the TCP transport.

The returned HTTP status code indicates the ability of the customer application to receive and process the data:

  • 200 - indicates customer application successfully received and processed the data

Standard HTTP headers

  • Host: Indicates the domain name, and the port number of the server
  • Accept: “text/html,application/xml,application/json”
  • Accept-Language: “en-us”
  • Accept-Charset: “UTF-8,ISO-8859-1”
  • Cache-Control: “no-cache”
  • Pragma: “no-cache”
  • [Accept-Encoding: deflate]—If present, indicates the monitor event data is compressed.

Monitor Event Payload

Data is encapsulated in a message envelope that includes the topic, operation, and timestamp plus the data itself. This will be formatted according to the format type requested when establishing the monitor. Additionally, when the monAutoReplayOnConnect option is enabled, there will be a replay=“true” attribute if the message is being resent.

Tcp Transport Protocol

This section details standard TCP/IP and SSL socket connections between a client application and Remote Manager. Because authentication messages flow across the socket, we strongly recommend using SSL. Use standard TCP/IP connections for debugging and troubleshooting only.

Monitor configuration options for TCP

The Monitor API provides two TCP-specific elements:

monTransportType: (Required) Sets the transport type, TCP or HTTP. For TCP, set the transport type to TCP.

monAckOption: (Optional) Specifies acknowledge options for sent messages.

  • explicit: Client must explicitly acknowledge TCP push events.
  • off: Remote Manager automatically acknowledges events when sent.

The default is off.

The following example shows how to create a TCP monitor:

<Monitor>
   <monTopic>DeviceCore,XbeeCore</monTopic>
   <monTransportType>tcp</monTransportType>
   <monFormatType>json</monFormatType>
   <monBatchSize>100</monBatchSize>
   <monCompression>none</monCompression>
   <monBatchDuration>10</monBatchDuration>
   <monAckOption>explicit</monAckOption>
   <monAutoReplayOnConnect>true</monAutoReplayOnConnect>
</Monitor>

Protocol

When a monitor is created through the Web Services API, a Monitor ID is assigned and returned to the caller. If the monitor is configured to use the TCP transport the customer application can activate the monitor by establishing a TCP socket connection back to the Remote Managerserver. SSL monitor sockets should be made to port 3201 while unsecure TCP sockets should be made to port 3200.

Once Remote Manager makes the socket connection, the customer application must send a ConnectRequest message through that connection to the Remote Manager server. The server will authenticate the request and send back a response. Once the connect request succeeds, the server will begin sending PublishMessages to the customer application as events matching the monitor configuration occur. There are two options on how the customer application can acknowledge the PublishMessages: explicit and off. The acknowledgment option is configured using the monAckOption in the Monitor web service. If not specified, the monAckOption defaults to off.

Explicit means that the customer application will acknowledge the receipt of PublishMessages using the PublishMessageReceived message. The dataBlockId in the PublishMessageReceived indicates that all events up to and including that dataBlockId were successfully received, i.e. one PublishMessageReceive message can acknowledge multiple PublishMessages. If the customer application detects a missing dataBlockId or cannot process a PublishMessage, it should disconnect the TCP socket. On the next reconnect, the replay will start with the unacknowledged push event. (Note that monAutoReplayOnConnect needs to be enabled.)

The off option means that Remote Manager will treat the push event as acknowledged when it is written to the TCP socket. Any PublishMessageReceived messages will be ignored by Remote Manager if the monitor is configured with monAckOption set to off.

As long as the monitor socket connection remains open, monitor events will flow from the server to the customer application per the requirements established in the monitor configuration. If the socket is closed for any reason, the monitor will be deactivated and monitor events will stop flowing to the customer application. When the monitor is deactivated, the monitor’s status will be marked as SUSPENDED (for monitors configured for auto replay of missed events using monAutoReplayOnConnect), otherwise INACTIVE. The customer application can reactivate the monitor socket in the same manner as the initial connection.

Conventions

In this protocol, all multi-byte numeric fields must be transmitted in big endian format. All text data must be transmitted as UTF-8 characters. See RFC 2279 as a reference for this format.

Framing

All messages between the client application and the Remote Manager server are framed as follows:

  • Header [6 Bytes]
    • Type: [2 Bytes] - indicates the type of message being exchanged
    • Length: [4 Bytes] - indicating size of the framed message payload
  • Payload [n Bytes] - the wrapped message

© 2023 Digi International Inc. All rights reserved.

ConnectRequest Message

To initiate a new monitor connection, send a ConnectRequest message from the client application to Remote Manager. This is the first message sent upon connect and will authenticate and activate the monitor.

Header [6 Bytes] Type=0x0001

Payload:

  • ProtocolVersion: [2 Bytes] - indicates what version of push protocol is being used. The current version is 0x0001.
  • UserNameLen [2 Bytes] - length of UserName payload
  • UserName: [UTF-8 encoded byte array] - the username to authenticate connection
  • PasswordLen [2 Bytes] - length of Password payload
  • Password: [UTF-8 encoded byte array] - the password to authenticate connection
  • MonitorId: [4 Bytes] - the ID of the monitor for this connect

Example

© 2023 Digi International Inc. All rights reserved.

ConnectResponse Message

The response to ConnectRequest, sent from Remote Manager to the client application, is a ConnectResponse message. This indicates to the client application the status of the web services request, as well as the protocol version that Remote Manager is speaking.

Header [6 Bytes] Type=0x0002

Payload:

  • Status Code: [2 Bytes]
  • ProtocolVersion: [2 Bytes] - indicates what version of push protocol is being used

Example:

Legend:

Type: 0x0002 Size: 0x00000004 Status: 0x0001 ProtocolVersion: 0x0001

© 2023 Digi International Inc. All rights reserved.

PublishMessage Message

As monitored events occur, Remote Manager will send PublishMessage messages to the client application.

Header [6 Bytes] Type=0x0003 Payload:

  • DataBlockId: [2 Bytes] - rotating id that uniquely identifies the data block
  • Count: [2 Bytes] - number of messages in this batch
  • Compression: [1 Byte] - indicates what payload compression algorithm is being used (0x00=none, 0x01=zlib)
  • Format: [1 Byte] - indicates data format of payload (0x00=xml, 0x01=json)
  • PayloadSize: [4 Bytes] - indicates how many bytes of payload data follow
  • PayloadData: [n Bytes] - the actual Monitor event data (may be compressed & Base64 encoded)

Example:
