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.
