Predix Edge Agent Release Notes 2.4.0

This release has the following enhancements:

Sends Static Device Information to Edge Manager

Static device information, such as memory total bytes, number of cores, disk name and size, and the device's physical model name can now be sent to Edge Manager.

Set Polling Forces Synchronization

The set polling command now immediately forces a synchronization.

Additional Event Log Functionality

The following event log functionality has been added:

• Ability to list event logs from Edge Manager
• Ability to retrieve event logs from Edge Manager
• Log entries created for events such as:
  • Edge Manager communication errors when polling
  • Resolving a situation where the MQTT password is corrupted during a power cycle

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.
