  2 minute read  

Users can now add or edit OPC UA nodes in the Management Console using a CSV file, which the console validates according to OPC UA standards, displaying any errors in a log window. Additionally, nodes from specific connections can be exported to CSV. The Datasource Deploy process has been improved, offering manual or CSV node input, automatic syntax checks, and displaying Benthos pod outputs for failed deployments. The console’s documentation is updated, a paging supports large data transfers, and several bugs, including issues with secret retrieval, data source updating, and deletion, have been fixed.

Import of OPC UA nodes via CSV file

Adding or Editing OPC UA nodes is able to be done via CSV now. Users can edit the node’s list in the CSV file and import it into the Management Console.

At the import, this feature will validate the file, i.e., it checks whether the syntax is correct according to the OPC UA specification. Also, the data format will be checked. You will find the error information in a log window, for example, in which line the problem was caused.

Export OPC UA nodes as CSV file

You can also download nodes belonging to the selected connection or data source as a CSV file. This feature is helpful for managing nodes, especially if a user needs to modify many existing nodes.

Improvements in the process of the Datasource Deploy

We upgraded the Datasoure Deploy process in the Management console as follows:

  • Users can select either add nodes via CSV file or manually now.
  • The edit page provides an editable table and the syntax will be checked while writing automatically. If there is any problem, it indicates with a color and shows hover messages.
  • At an unsuccessful data source deployment, the outputs of the Benthos pods (data source instance) will be displayed.

Other features

  • Documentation has been updated to reflect the current status of the Management Console.
  • Sending data source information between the backend and the frontend uses paging to transmit large messages.
  • The following bugs are fixed:
    • The functionality of the secret retrieval did not work if the user opened a device page fast after the Management Console’s startup.
    • Deploying a data source updated the other data source with the same IP Address. Now, it will create a new data source instead of updating.
    • A bug at the operation of the delete data source is fixed.
