Configuring and managing Store and Forward

Control store and forward period

When using Store and Forward for sending events to the cloud, the device waits for the specified time period before establishing a connection and sending all stored events.

The steps below show how to configure the /cloudInterface/store_forward resource to control the maximum amount of time to wait before sending data:

1. Navigate to Device > Resources.
2. Locate /cloudInterface/store_forward.
3. Edit Period and set the number of seconds. This specifies the maximum amount of time to wait before sending data.
4. Click Apply to apply the settings to the device.

Notes

Data from the Store and Forward can be sent before the timer elapses: when a "cloud stream" Observation has data to send or if an Edge Action returns data to 'cl://', the Store and forward is flushed.

You can trigger data from the Store and Forward to be sent by calling the /cloudInterface/store_forward/flush trigger

Monitor Store and Forward level

🚧

This is a feature that is added to Octave 3.0 Edge release

It is meant to be used locally on the device to control data transfer flows i.e to be observed by an Edge Action or to be routed to an ORP resource by an observation.

The Store and forward "level" section allows you to monitor how full the S&F is, and to take action upon it

Use :

• /cloudInterface/store_forward/level/enable to enable this feature

• /cloudInterface/store_forward/level/period to define its period

The /cloudInterface/store_forward/level/value resource will be update accordingly and report S&F level in %
