What's New in Version 0.3.106
2 minute read
This release of the Management Console introduces initial support for OPC UA data sources. On the new data source overview, you can manage your connections and data sources. Users can establish network connections to OPC UA servers and initialize/deploy OPC UA data source from the added connections. For these features, we’ve enhanced the APIs in the management console backend. In addition, we started cleaning up the style of the Management Console and updated documentation.
Establish network connections to OPC UA servers
The Management Console now supports establishing network connections to OPC UA servers. This feature includes reachability checks, establishing connections, and managing the connections.
Initializing OPC UA data sources from established connections
The Management Console now supports initializing OPC UA data sources from established connections. This feature includes setting the security policy, authentication mode, etc. (For now, only Anonymous authentication is supported.)
Afterward, the data source can be configured to write to a specific topic in the UNS, and nodes can be added to the data source.
It also includes monitoring the data source and its nodes.
New Datasource Overview
The new data source overview page displays two tables for uninitialized connections and data sources.
The first table shows information like name and IP-Address of connections. Also, a hover menu with initialize, edit, and delete operation are available in each row.
On the second table, users can see the data sources with the current health status. The current version provides only the delete operation.
Backend Enhancements
New APIs for the following operations are added:
- Saving, deleting, modifying, and retrieving uninitialized connection
- Testing connection by calling nmap traceroute
- Querying data source status
Also, the API for modifying helm value is extended to retrieve values with specified keys.
Other Features
- We have begun cleaning up the style of the Management Console, making it more consistent and easier to use.
- Documentation has been updated to reflect the current status of the Management Console. It also includes detailed information about the process of the data source feature.
