April Updates
The latest update of Azure IoT Remote Monitoring (3.0.0) simplifies the way configuration is done throughout the solution. Previous iterations made heavy use of environment envariables. For various systems / IDEs / etc environment variables are set up in different ways making understanding and maintaining Remote Monitoring more difficult. Adding a new variable into the system required plumbing into numerous parts of the system such as the CLI / kubernetes configuration / docker compose files / scripts and more. The latest Remote Monitoring will provision a Key Vault resource to simplify this process.

December Updates
December Updates
We are excited to announce the latest update of Azure IoT Remote Monitoring, a solution accelerator that is fully operational right out of the box. Updated features and improvements for December can be found below:
-
New Features:
- Automatic Device Management: Azure IoT automatic device management helps facilitate bulk device management by allowing operators to target a set of devices, define the changes to be applied, and then choreograph the changes as devices become available. It also automatically handles reporting and conflict resolution, which greatly reduces the possibility of human error. We have now integrated automatic device management into Remote Monitoring so that operators can create, deploy, and manage automatic device configurations right from the web UI. For a walkthrough example of how to use this, you can follow our tutorial on implementing a firmware update for an MX Chip.
-
Improvements
- Role Based Access Control (RBAC) has been recently updated in this latest release to lock down users who can view and interact with the solution. This means that the user who deployed the solution is the only person who can view it immediately after it has been created. To grant others access to view the application as either a Read Only, Admin, or a Custom role, see the following directions below on add or remove users. Learn more here about the updates made to RBAC and how to grant users access.

November Updates
We are excited to announce the latest update of Azure IoT Remote Monitoring, a solution accelerator that is fully operational right out of the box. Updated features and improvements for November can be found below:
- New Features:
- Edge: Real-time data analytics & insights drive business value in IoT solutions, but not all customer scenarios can rely on cloud processing. Azure IoT Edge solves these challenges by delivering cloud intelligence locally on IoT devices. Azure IoT Edge is now seamlessly integrated with the Azure IoT Remote Monitoring solution accelerator. Customers can leverage this feature to reduce bandwidth costs by processing data locally or achieving near real time actions by using AI at the edge.
- Email Actions: Adding an email action to a rule helps to ensure that you will never miss an alert again. Actions can be added to existing rules defined in your solution, or while creating a new rule. This ability to acting on device alerts within Azure IoT Remote Monitoring is is possible through the integration of Azure Logic Apps, which has a rich set of extension points available for developers. This allows customization into other scenarios such as sending text messages, triggering business processes to services such as Dynamics, or calling a webservice API endpoint. You can learn more about how to customize your actions in Azure IoT Remote Monitoring here

What’s new in Remote Monitoring
We are excited to announce the latest update of Azure IoT Remote Monitoring, a solution accelerator that is fully operational right out of the box. Updated features and improvements for August can be found below:
-
Improvements:
- Added a new repo for integration tests for end to end scenarios.
- Cache changes to remove remote dependencies in the configuration.
- Security Fixes to align with Security Development Lifecycle.
- Builds migrated to VSTS instead of Travis.
-
New Features:
- Piloting in-product analytics: In an effort to keep improving the Remote Monitoring solution accelerator, we are now piloting in-product analytics to better understand how the product is being use. No personal information will be tracked or collected. If you would like to opt out of sending us your telemetry, please click the settings gear at the top of the Web UI and toggle the option off.
- Roles based access: "Read Only" and "Admin" roles allow users different levels of access to modify rules, device groups, and alerts to ensure data security. By restricting access to key features to a limited set of Admin users, someone attempting to modify important data can only do so if it is deemed necessary for their role.
- Delete Rules: Rules can now be deleted from the rules page on the Web UI. Simply click the checkbox next to the rule and click delete at the top. Alert history for this rule will still be saved for reporting purposes.
