Designing and developing for Unified Namespaces
I apologize if I am posting in the incorrect community. I would like to know if anyone has developed a Unified Namespace architecture and solution within Azure for IIOT without using third-party middleware such as ignition, high-byte, or HiveMQ. I am currently looking to use Azure IOT and ADF and Dynamics 365 as the ERP and MES.
IOT Central data export destination on waiting
Hello. I have successfully created a demo sensor in iot central and now I would like to connect it to my service bus queue. I went to data export tab and create a new destination using the connection strings of my queue, it seemed ok but the destination is on "waiting" state since 10 hours. Is it normal? Can I check anything? Thanks Gianpaolo
Enable ipv6 for azure-iot-edge user-defined network
We have a Raspberry Pi that we use as an edge device. One of our modules needs to communicate over IPv6 in the local network. Since the module is automatically connected to the "azure-iot-edge" network in Docker, I'd like a method to easily enable IPv6 on this network. To achieve this, I tried following the steps described in the IPv6Configuration documentation. For me, this worked only for the default bridge network but not for the "azure-iot-edge" network. I also checked the networking documentation and attempted to configure the network using the mentioned /etc/aziot/edged/config.yaml file. However, this file did not exist initially, and when I manually added it, it seemed to be completely ignored. The only way I have been able to get IPv6 to work for the "azure-iot-edge" network so far is by completely removing it and manually recreating it with IPv6 enabled. This also required me to manually disconnect and later reconnect all modules. This does not feel like the correct way to achieve this. I would assume there should be a way to configure this either from the module definition in the IoT Hub or by adding some configuration on the device.
Routing on IOT Edge
Hi, I have a problem that I have been dealing with for quite some time. Trying to put a "where" in a routing for AZIOT edge hub. have tested this which works. FROM /messages/* WHERE $connectionModuleId = 'noded' INTO BrokeredEndpoint("/modules/testjob/inputs/edgehub") . But what I want to do is a "where" against appProperties. I have tried every conceivable "syntax" for this?? Inserts an example message. { "message": { "systemProperties": { "contentType": "application/json", "contentEncoding": "UTF-8", "iothub-message-source": "deviceMessages", "iothub-enqueuedtime": "2017-05-08T18:55:31.8514657Z" }, "appProperties": { "processingPath": "{cold | warm | hot}", "verbose": "{true, false}", "severity": 1-5, "testDevice": "{true | false}" }, "body": "{\"Weather\":{\"Temperature\":50}}" } } Thanks for any help I can get. Can't find any documentation for this?can't use create_from_edge_environment with proxy options - client doesn't connect to azure iot hub
Hello, I am trying to configure a client connection towards azure iot hub from a module. I've tried creating the client with create_from_edge_environment method and I get the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/azure/iot/device/common/mqtt_transport.py", line 391, in connect rc = self._mqtt_client.connect( File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/paho/mqtt/client.py", line 914, in connect return self.reconnect() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/paho/mqtt/client.py", line 1044, in reconnect sock = self._create_socket_connection() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/paho/mqtt/client.py", line 3683, in _create_socket_connection return socks.create_connection(addr, timeout=self._connect_timeout, source_address=source, **proxy) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/socks.py", line 209, in create_connection raise err File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/socks.py", line 199, in create_connection sock.connect((remote_host, remote_port)) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/socks.py", line 47, in wrapper return function(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/socks.py", line 814, in connect raise GeneralProxyError("Socket error", error) socks.GeneralProxyError: Socket error: 407: Proxy Authentication Required This problem doesn't appear if I create the client using create_from_connection_string method. This adds complexity to my script and I would like to use create_from_edge_environment method. Does anybody have any insights on why one method works and the other doesn't? Thanks!
unable to deploy modules other than edgeAgen & edgeHub to my device
Hi, I have my device hooked up to IoT Edge account and have two modules built and pushed to my ACR account. I've added them the modules to my device under IoT Edge Modules. I configured ther ACR name, address, username & password and there's no apparent error visible. The DESIRED STATUS for both modules is set to running. under Settings, i can see that the Image URI & the Module name has been set as well, yet my device does not receive the modules. When I execute "iotedge list", I only see the edgeAgent & the edgeHub modules. What might I be missing, I'm wondering? Thanks for any help in this matter!I2C WriteRead with no restart, IoT libraries and FT4232H device
Hi everyone, I am porting an app and trying to use the FTDI Ft4232H device to communicate to some I2C devices. When I use the "old" dongle(going to be obsolete) and I2C call to the device, I get the correct transaction and read results from the device. However, when I use the IoT libraries and the "WriteRead" command to do the same thing, the library issues a restart and the transaction fails. Can anyone help or point me to: A library that does a correct multi byte read without a restart? A way to do this with the current IoT libraries? Here are the "using" statements in my C# code: using Iot.Device.FtCommon; using Iot.Device.Ft4232H; using System.Device.I2c; Cheers, SteveHow to active Windows IoT Enterprise LTSC2021 via phone
Dear Community, how can I activate Windows IoT Enterprise LTSC2021 via phone. I MUST activate via phone since the computers are installed in a facility without internet connection. What I have already tried that DID NOT work The activation dialogue does not show the "phone option" as seen in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RTu0_uWjMM Run "SLUI 4" from the command line with admin privilleges. It just returns without doing anything Rebuild some internal databases as described here before step 2: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/activate-windows-by-phone-not-there-in-settings/34b72b93-563f-463c-8614-4675cfd0143f Contacted the seller of the license (arrow), they referred me to email address removed for privacy reasons, who then told me to go to the forums What's left that I can try?

Hi everyone, I'm currently experiencing some challenges with my edge computing setup and a Microsoft product. As someone relatively new to managing both hardware and software in this capacity, I could really use some advice from those more experienced. Here are the specifics of my setup: Edge Computing Setup: High-end CPUs, ample RAM, and SSD storage capacity. Microsoft Product: Microsoft Azure IoT Edge The Issues: Performance Challenges: The Microsoft Azure IoT Edge is not performing as expected with my edge computing setup, especially during high-traffic periods and intensive computational tasks. There are noticeable slowdowns and performance bottlenecks. Installation and Configuration Difficulties: During the setup of the Microsoft Azure IoT Edge with my edge computing infrastructure, I encountered several hurdles. While I managed to complete the installation, I suspect there may be lingering configuration issues affecting performance and usability. Integration and Compatibility Concerns: I'm facing compatibility issues with certain applications and third-party tools within the Microsoft Azure IoT Edge. These issues are disrupting workflows and reducing efficiency in system management. Steps Taken So Far: I've ensured that my hardware setup meets or exceeds the recommended specifications for the Microsoft Azure IoT Edge. I've followed the installation and setup documentation for the Microsoft Azure IoT Edge meticulously. I've reviewed and adjusted system configurations and resource allocations to optimize performance. Despite my efforts, the challenges persist. Have any of you encountered similar issues with Microsoft products in edge computing environments? Are there specific configurations, optimizations, or troubleshooting techniques you've found effective? Any advice, insights, or recommended resources would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!IOT device event twin change detect

Hello Community, I am seeking for the help to achieve one functionality for my IOT device. I have crated one Azure IOT device under azure IOT hub. Now on the device twin whenever my device report property get change( any property), It should send some event notification to the end user. What is the best way to achieve this? I want to use Azure event grid but the template is not available in message routing you can see below. If i use Event Hub then there is a risk to increase latency. let me know if there is any other way to get this with lowest latency.

Hello, My issue is related to:- MCU: STM32H733 Middleware: Azure RTOS Middleware Component: NetxDuo (6.2.0) Addon: mDNS I am using Azure RTOS with NetxDuo, I implemented a secure https server in my device and implemented mDNS which was working very well for me till I required to change domain. I want to add a sub-domain like (myhostname.mysubdomain.local). In documentation it is stated that by default the domain is .local but can be changed using nx_mdns_domain_name_set API Now, I have implemented this API in my code like this: ``` status = nx_mdns_create(&mdns_instance, &ip_instance, &netxduo_packet_pool, MDNS_PRIORITY, mdns_thread_stack, sizeof(mdns_thread_stack), (UCHAR *)hostname, (VOID *)local_service_cache, sizeof(local_service_cache), (VOID *)peer_service_cache, sizeof(peer_service_cache), NX_NULL); if (status != NX_SUCCESS) { Error_Handler(); } status = nx_mdns_domain_name_set(&mdns_instance, "home"); status = nx_mdns_enable(&mdns_instance, PRIMARY_INTERFACE); ``` It returns success and according to the document I must be able to ping hostname.home but thats not the case not matter what I done it will be always accessible through hostname.local I checked the domain name buffer inside mdns_instance, its updated to home but even then changed domain is not accessible. Goal: To be able to add subdomain Bigger Picture: I want to use wild card while generating certificate and keys in alt name and CN so that same certificate can be used in many devices thats why I need subdomain as it allows wild card in *.example.local not in *.localConnecting PLC to Azure IoT Hub
We have a client with an Automation Direct Productivity 3000 PLC. Looks like it has an MQTT client configuration that may allow us to connect directly to Azure IoT Hub, but we are struggling. We're waiting for the client to get a vendor resource to assist. Meanwhile. we're trying to figure out if that will work directly, or if we need something like IoT Edge to act as a protocol translator. Unsure if the device is able to utilize TLS 1.2 or not. The config screen looks like this (please ignore current settings): Do we need to use something like IoT Edge to convert the MQTT to use TLS? Any other advice for getting this up and running? Thank you, -Peter
