Device Management An old data model migration mechanism was erroneously removing installed software information from devices when the Advanced Software Management microservice was resubscribed or restarted. This mechanism has entirely been removed so that existing data is no longer modified. DM-3475 10.18.0.398 cumulocity
Device Management The properties library schema definition for the c8y_SoftwareList fragment did not match the actual managed object properties. Hence, when the Software property was selected in the "Device data" widget no data was shown. The property is now called Software list and displays all software items contained in the c8y_SoftwareList fragment. DM-3470 10.18.0.254 ui-c8y

Device management Simulators did not use inventory POST/PUT templates properly as they did not specify any ID fields for the object they created/updated. This has now been resolved by adding the corresponding fields ID, External ID and External ID type depending on the SmartREST template used as instruction. DM-2853 10.18.0.172 UI
Device management Previously, when loading measurement charts data, there was a performance issue if the measurement series had no units defined, depending on the total number of measurement records. This issue has been addressed and measurements series now load efficiently regardless of units being defined or not. DM-2785 10.18.0.173 UI
OPC UA When the OPCUA Gateway created an event with a non-numeric data type, the data value was always persisted with 0 and only events containing a numeric value were persisted correctly. This issue is now resolved and the event values are represented correctly for any type of data. DM-2754 10.18.0.266 Core

Device management The Device Management home page now also provides a customizable dashboard so that users can add customized widgets. DM-1644 10.17.194.0 UI
Device management Added support for rendering dropdown fields in JSON Schema Formly in the extensible device registration. DM-1921 10.17.67.0 UI
Device management The step headers "1, 2, 3 ..." of the "Connect smartphone" wizard can no longer be clicked. The navigation now works exclusively via the buttons in the footer of the wizard. Moreover, the text which is displayed if an error occurs during the registration has been revised. If the last step ends in an error message, the last header now also reflects this error status. DM-1930 10.17.25.0 UI
LWM2M The performance of the migrateLwm2mDevices operation has been improved. New command line arguments have been introduced with the operation. A list of legacy LWM2M devices can be specified directly from the shell command. Moreover, the migration of the LWM2M client registration objects can be skipped by using an argument. For details, refer to LWM2M > LWM2M connector device > Migration of the LWM2M devices in the Protocol integration guide. DM-1866 10.18.0.5 Core
LWM2M A LWM2M device can now completely be deleted from the devices list without an additional clean-up operation. This is done in the same way as any other device is deleted, that is, via the delete icon in the respective row. DM-867 10.17.173.0 UI
LWM2M If event logging is enabled for the LWM2M microservice from the configuration file of the LWM2M agent, the agent now creates new logs as events with detailed information about the reason of failure when a device operation is not executed due to the device connectivity. DM-231 10.17.37.0 Core
OPC UA The OPC UA device gateway can now be run with Thin Edge. The gateway device is automatically created as a child of the Thin Edge device. For more information on the configurations, refer to the Thin Edge section in OPC UA > Gateway configuration and registration in the Protocol integration guide. DM-887 10.17.174.0 Core

Connectivity The performance of MQTT connections has been improved. MQTT devices can now connect or reconnect faster, especially if the platform already has a large number of MQTT devices connected. MTM-53819 10.18.0.113 Core
Device management In the Device profiles page, when adding a repository item (software, firmware, configuration) if the device profile has a device type defined, the items shown either correspond to this device type or they don't have a device type specified. In some cases, repository items without a filter were not visualized in the window for adding an item. These items are now correctly shown. DM-2547 10.18.0.118 UI
Device management The device list now shows complex columns like c8y_SoftwareList correctly after converting them to strings. DM-2410 10.18.0.78 UI
Device management Issues with flashing the device availability connection status have been fixed. MTM-51541 10.18.0.73 Core
Device management In the device grid, issues with applying filters have been fixed. DM-2321 10.18.0.57 UI
Device management In the SmartREST template editor, issues with the presentation of the External ID type field for Inventory POST messages have been fixed. Under CSV preview the generated "Template creation CSV" has been adjusted to include the "ID", "externalId" and "externalIdType" values. DM-2093 10.18.0.55 UI
Device management When removing a device which has child devices, users can now select either to remove a device user or to remove all child devices. Prior to this change, it was possible to select both options in the UI, but such an action is not supported by the backend. MTM-45277 10.17.262.0 UI
Device management On the Software tab in the device details, the Reload button now correctly updates the Installed software list. DM-2005 10.17.141.0 UI
Device management In events and alarms views, custom properties with numeric values were incorrectly parsed and displayed as dates in the Chrome browser. This is now fixed. DM-1999 10.17.118.0 UI
Device management On the Shell tab in the device details, when a shell command operation is created, its name now corresponds to the command text if available. If no command text is available then it displays the operation description. DM-2069 10.17.74.0 UI
Device management In device list views, when a device was deleted, any related child devices were deleted as well. This functionality has now been enhanced. On device deletion, any existing child hierarchy types, that is, not only devices but also additions and assets are deleted accordingly. DM-2003 10.17.73.0 UI
Device management The Assign devices button is now disabled for users without the required permissions. MTM-50928 10.17.16.0 UI
Loriot The memory limit for the Loriot microservice has been increased to 2Gi. DM-2427 10.18.0.74 Core
Loriot Events created by the Loriot agent when sending uplink requests are now considered device requests and provide connectivity status and availability monitoring. DM-2139 10.17.170.0 Core
LWM2M A fail-safe mechanism to regularly get pending LWM2M device connector operations from the platform has been added in addition to the real-time mechanism in the LWM2M agent. This mechanism is beneficial when real-time connections between the LWM2M agent and the platform are unstable. DM-2652 10.18.0.170 Core
LWM2M During a large number of parallel LWM2M DTLS device connection requests, used for devices using PSK secured mode, the LWM2M agent was not able to handle all connections at the same time. This caused platform connection failures for the devices. In the LWM2M agent, the default settings for this part have been adjusted and made configurable to serve large parallel connections. DM-2651 10.18.0.162 Core
LWM2M When reading an entire LWM2M object which contains multiple object instances, in a simple read observer or send operation, the LWM2M agent processed and stored only one of the resources of these object instances. This is now resolved and the LWM2M agent processes and stores all resource data from multiple object instances correctly. DM-2426 10.18.0.155 Core
LWM2M If the LWM2M device observation frequency is high, for example, a few milliseconds, the LWM2M Agent processed the same message multiple times, occupying a lot of resources. This is now resolved. The LWM2M agent no longer reprocesses the same observation request. DM-1823 10.18.0.141 Core
LWM2M The LWM2M agent now correctly persists all registration update parameters. Previously, the LWM2M agent did not store changes of registration parameters, for example, updated registration lifetimes. This is now fixed. DM-2503 10.18.0.129 Core
LWM2M Custom actions were not always executed if a LWM2M device used a SEND operation to report the whole LWM2M object data. This issue is now resolved and the custom actions are always executed for the resource instances for which they are defined. DM-2188 10.18.0.57 Core
LWM2M Bulk device registrations and other operations being executed on the LWM2M connector device now show the status FAILED if a problem occurs. Prior to this change, partial failures were reported as SUCCESSFUL. DM-1951 10.18.0.54 Core
LWM2M In certain cases, the registration couldn't be associated with a LWM2M 1.1 SEND request, leading to a 4.04 CoAP response. This is now fixed. DM-2270 10.18.0.47 Core
LWM2M The LWM2M agent now ignores trailing commas at the end of object links in the registration request of a LWM2M client. DM-2342 10.18.0.46 Core
LWM2M The LWM2M agent is now able to properly convert the timestamps from the SenML data reported by the LWM2M client to a platform compatible date-time format for performing respective resource actions. DM-2150 10.18.0.43 Core
LWM2M Multi-line LWM2M post-operations were not executed right after the LWM2M device's new registration when realtime was disabled for the tenant who owns the device. As a result the device might not receive these operations until the next LWM2M device's registration update. This issue is now resolved and LWM2M post-operations are executed right after the LWM2M device's new registration, no matter whether realtime is enabled or not for this kind of devices. DM-2100 10.18.0.37 Core
LWM2M Two new LWM2M shell commands have been added.
- The new executelegacy command allows LWM2M execute requests with non-standard LWM2M parameters. The behavior of this operation resembles the semantics of the existing execute operation until version 10.15.
- The new coap shell command enables making raw CoAP requests to devices to facilitate non-standard communication in exceptional cases.
For details, refer to LWM2M > Handling LWM2M shell commands in the Protocol integration guide.
DM-2153 10.18.0.6 Core
LWM2M In the Device objects tab, an issue with entering a parameter in the Execute with parameters field has been resolved. DM-2160 10.17.226.0 UI
LWM2M The LWM2M agent now ensures that a LWM2M client registration is expired and removed from the database if the LWM2M client does not update its registration within the respective registration lifetime period. DM-1895 10.17.190.0 Core
LWM2M During the LWM2M client registration, if the agent failed to find the registered device from the database due to a communication problem, an internal object related to the device managed object was automatically removed by the agent. Afterwards, LWM2M clients always failed to connect. This is now fixed and the internal object is only removed if the actual device managed object does not exist in the database. DM-2131 10.17.178.0 Core
LWM2M The LWM2M device type can freely be chosen by the user. Therefore, devices which do not have the type "c8y_lwm2m" but still are LWM2M devices now also show the LWM2M bootstrap parameters view. DM-2066 10.17.171.0 UI
LWM2M Due to a limitation of the Leshan library used by the LWM2M agent, only device registration messages were supported where the LWM2M version is attached to the LWM2M object. The LWM2M agent has now been extended to also accept LWM2M registration messages where the LWM2M version is attached to the LWM2M object instance. DM-1893 10.17.169.0 Core
LWM2M In certain cases the migration of LWM2M devices registered on versions before 10.15 reported "Unable to process device" for certain devices. This happened due to adjustments to the device configuration, for example when editing the registration lifetime. With this fix, the migration logic robustness has been improved. DM-2022 10.17.107.0 Core
LWM2M In the older Leshan demo client, the device registration requests for the Cumulocity IoT LWM2M demo device and possibly also some other devices could contain spaces between the core link separators. This was successfully handled by the LWM2M agent 10.14 and below but caused the LWM2M agent 10.15 and above to reject these device requests. Now, the LWM2M server accepts these requests again. The older device registration requests can be processed again. DM-2070 10.17.105.0 Core
LWM2M The Objects tab now correctly displays JSON values in string fields. DM-1973 10.17.47.0 Core
LWM2M The LWM2M agent now provides a better processing rate of the external decoder events by parallelizing their execution. DM-1840 10.17.36.0 Core
OPC UA The endpoint validation happening during the connection to an OPC UA server can now optionally be disabled. This can be done in the gateway configuration by changing the gateway.connectivity.validateDiscoveredEndpoints setting to "false". Alternatively, it can be controlled via the OPC UA server managed object by setting the fragment validateDiscoveredEndpoints to "false". For details, refer to OPC UA in the Protocol integration guide. DM-2425 10.18.0.157 Core
OPC UA The application of OPC UA device protocols was unreliable when there were more than 1000 protocols. This is now fixed. DM-2634 10.18.0.155 Core
OPC UA In OPC UA device gateway nodes, expected but missing information prevented the completion of the address space scan operation. This is now fixed by skipping these nodes and adding an error message in the opcua-device-gateway log files. Additionally, the overall scanning speed has been improved for the full and partial address space scan operations. DM-2365 10.18.0.128 Core
OPC UA In case of bad connectivity or network delay gateway devices could go to a state where they were disconnected. This resulted in operation execution being suspended. This issue is now resolved. DM-2037 10.18.0.30 Core
