Batch Configuration Distribution ​

In the edge computing environment, various software runs on edge devices, each requiring configurations tailored to specific applications and business requirements.

With ECP, you can simultaneously transmit identical or similar configurations to multiple edge device software (such as Neuron and eKuiper). This approach helps administrators apply rapid, consistent, and reliable configuration strategies, minimizing configuration errors and redundant tasks, thereby boosting the stability and reliability of the edge computing environment.

Clone the Configuration of Selected Edge Service ​

ECP allows creating a configuration distribution template from a specific edge service.

To create a template:

1. Log in as system admin, organization admin, or project admin.
2. On Workspace - Edge Service, click the more icon under the Action column of the target instance, select Clone.
3. A dialog box pops up, abstracting the current instance's configuration into a template.

Edit Template ​

Use $ {} to parameterize relevant Json tags, numbers, strings, or other texts.

For example, tcp://127.0.0.1:1883 can be parameterized into tcp_addr:

The original and parameterized configurations look as follows:

Original:

"mqtt": "{\"stream1\":{\"insecureSkipVerify\":false,\"protocolVersion\":\"3.1.1\",\"qos\":1,\"server\":\"tcp://127.0.0.1:1883\"}}"

Parameterized:

"mqtt": "{\"stream1\":{\"insecureSkipVerify\":false,\"protocolVersion\":\"3.1.1\",\"qos\":1,\"server\":\" ${tcp_addr} "}}"

After the edit, click Next to select the target edge services.

Select Edge Service Instances ​

You can filter by name, EndPoint, Version, or tags, then click to check the target instances.

Edit Parameters ​

This feature allows the assignment of values to parameters for multiple edge services at once, enhancing configuration efficiency.

1. ECP generates a downloadable parameter template file based on the template parameters and the selected edge service.
2. Click Parameter Template Download, and update it locally, for example:

3. Upload the parameters to ECP. In this example:

   • The default value for tcp_addr is set to tcp://10.0.0.1:8008.
   • The tcp_addr value for Proxy-eKuiper is set to tcp://10.0.0.2:8008;
   • The tcp_addr value for config-test-83bd0f-1 is set to tcp://10.0.0.3:8008;
   • The tcp_addr value for sss-fc2c45-1 has not been set and will use the default value. That is, 'default' acts as the fallback. If any parameter of any edge service is not explicitly assigned, the value set in 'default' will be used.
   

4. Preview the configuration and verify the template and parameters' validity using the Check function.

6. Then click Implement to initiate the configuration deployment.

Monitor Distribution Process ​

You can view the distribution progress on this page, where the "grey circle" indicates ongoing execution, "✅" indicates successful execution, and "❌" indicates execution failure, along with the reason for failure.

2. Click Template Download to download the configuration template and parameter configurations for future reuse.
3. To view the historical operations of edge configuration distribution, navigate to Administration -> Audit.
