Edge

Release 10.5

Cumulocity IoT Edge Release 10.5, November 2019, includes the following improvements, fixes and known issues:

Remote device management

You can now register and manage your Cumulocity IoT Edge VM remotely from your Cumulocity IoT tenant. You must first configure the Edge agent (see Configuration) and then register the Edge VM with the Cumulocity IoT tenant (see Registering the Edge device with the Cumulocity tenant).

Support for Microsoft Hyper-V

You can now import and setup your Edge appliance using Microsoft Hyper-V on Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Enterprise, version 1809. See Example setup for Hyper-V.

Post installation

A new parameter is added in the config.dat file.
If you are running the post-installation script using the config.dat file, there is a new parameter required in that file called cloud.url. If you do not want to specify a cloud URL, use an empty string as the value. This is relevant for customers who are performing automated runs of the post-installation by specifying an existing file.

Custom rules

After upgrading to Edge version 10.5, you must upload the custom rules from an older installation again. The custom rules are not migrated automatically during the upgrade process.
