Objectives
In this Exercise you will learn how to:
- Stop and re-deploy the Managed Gateway
- View the incoming data in Monitor dashboards
Before you begin:
This Exercise requires that you have:
- completed the pre-requisites required for All Exercises and for Exercise 4
- completed the previous exercises
- verified the simulator is running as described in exercise 1
Re-Deploy the Managed Gateway
Go to where the current Managed Gateway docker container is running.
Use Ctrl-p & Ctrl-q
to get back to the prompt.
Use the docker ps
command to view the running docker containers.
Locate the CONTAINER ID of the running Managed Gateway container (look for edgedatacollector
) - here it is fd0e37d3ddb5
.
Use the docker kill <CONTAINER ID>
command to stop the docker container.
Navigate back to your Managed Gateway in Monitor and press the View deployment instructions
.
Click on the docker command to copy it to the clipboard:
Get back to the terminal and then paste the docker command line from the clipboard.
Click enter to execute it, and you should see something similar to the following:
Tip
You can see that you successfully have connections to both the simulated Lenze i550 VFD's on ports: 10502 and 20502.
View data in Monitor Dashboards
Navigate to the Device types view
in the Monitor Dashboard section:
Filter on your credentials and open to see all your VFD devices.
Select the XX_Lenze_i550_01
device and then click on Create dashboard
:
Give your new dashboard a name and press Configure dashboard
:
You will now see an empty dashboard configuration. Add a Time series line card by clicking on it:
Locate the Control Card Temperature
in the Data item
dropdown and change the Time range to Last 24 hours
.
Give the card a title, like Temperature [℃]
and drag the lower right corner to resize the card to full width.
Once that is in place, then Add another Time series line card:
Configure the second Time series line card according to the screen shot below and press Save and close
:
You have now created a simple dashboard to view some of the data for XX_Lenze_i550_01
.
Select the second device:
Note that the dashboard is configured on the Device Type level, hence will also be used for the XX_Lenze_i550_02
device
- but obviously with some other data:
You could now potentially create a dashboard like this 😎:
Tip
The above dashboard is also using an Image card and two additional Value/KPI cards. Please do experiment and have fun 🤗
Congratulations you have successfully re-deployed and viewed data from both VFD's in a Monitor dashboard. This concludes this lab.
