Predix Edge Agent Release Notes 2.3.0

These are the new features and known and resolved issues for Predix Edge Agent, version 2.3.0.

New Features

This release contains the following new features:

General

Ability to manage SSH keys, allowing support staff to enable, disable, and list deployed keys. These keys must be signed by the GED support team.
Applications can now access serial ports exposed by the operating system.
Ability for a user to erase all data in the device. This will reset the device to the currently installed operating system default.
Note: This will not perform a secure delete.
The /api/v1/host/os endpoint now includes the machine_type, which indicates whether the device is an embedded or virtual device.

This release has the following known issues:

Docker Apps Flooding Logs: A Docker application that floods the logs can cause system performance to degrade, resulting in the Docker applications restarting.
Serial Port Bootlog: A qemu- or vmware-based OS will output the bootlog out of the serial ports. This can cause problems if they are connected to physical hardware.
Secure Command Channel: An abrupt loss of power while deploying a secure command channel-enabled application may result in an inability to manage applications that leverage the secure command channel.
Device Clock Modifications: If a device’s clock is modified to a time prior to when it was first initialized, all deployed applications will be stopped and all system applications will run after the device reboots.
Application Configurations: Applications will not be able to read application configuration files created without read permissions. Ensure that configuration files have read permissions prior to zipping them in preparation for uploading them to Edge Manager or PETC.
