Ensuring success

Verify the following, prior to following the instruction on the following pages

Do you know the IP address of the E2210?

Do you know what port number of the E2210 is using?

Does the E2210 power on?

With a separate utility, can you read(from)/write(to) the E2210?

Creating the Modbus yaml file

An example SNMP device yaml file can be found here: SNMP device yaml.

The SNMP device yaml file used in this example can be found here: this example SNMP device yaml.

When you are creating your yaml file you will need to know what command options are available to use, they can be found here:

Bringing up EdgeX via Docker

Starting with following system configuration:

A fresh installation of Ubuntu Desktop 16.04 with all the available system updates.
A working directory > /home/tester/Development/edgex

Verify your Docker installation

Verify that Docker is installed and working as expected.

>\$ sudo docker run hello-world

Verify that the image is on the system

>\$ sudo docker ps -a

Download docker-compose file

Download the barcelona-docker-compose.yaml file from the EdgeX Wiki
Go to "https://wiki.edgexfoundry.org/display/FA/Barcelona"
Scroll to the bottom a look for the "barcelona-docker-compose.yml" file. Once downloaded, rename the file to "docker-compose.yml"
Once the file is download, move the file into your desired working directory.
Create a copy of the file and rename the copy "docker-compose.yml"

Verify the version of dockerized EdgeX that you will be running

With your favorite file editor, open the docker-compose.yml file
Within the first couple of lines you will see the word "Version", next to that you will see a number - it should be "2".
Version 2 refers to the Barcelona release

Enable SNMP in the Docker Compose file

With your favorite file editor, open the docker-compose file

Find the section "device-snmp" section, which will be commented out with "#" symbols.

Uncomment the entire section

Save your changes and exit out of the editor Starting EdgeX Docker components

Start EdgeX by using the following commands

Docker Command	Description	Suggested Wait Time After Completing
docker-compose pull	Pull down, but don’t start, all the EdgeX Foundry microservices Docker Compose will indicate when all the containers have	been pulled successfully
docker-compose up -d volume	Start the EdgeX Foundry file volume–must be done before the other services are started	A couple of seconds
docker-compose up -d config-seed	Start and populate the configuration/registry microservice which all services must register with and get their configuration from	60 seconds
docker-compose up -d mongo	Start the NoSQL MongoDB container	10 seconds
docker-compose up -d logging	Start the logging microservice - used by all micro services that make log entries	1 minute
docker-compose up -d notifications	Start the notifications and alerts microservice–used by many of the microservices	30 seconds
docker-compose up -d metadata	Start the Core Metadata microservice	1 minute
docker-compose up -d data	Start the Core Data microservice	1 minute
docker-compose up -d command	Start the Core Command microservice	1 minute
docker-compose up -d scheduler	Start the scheduling microservice -used by many of the microservices	1 minute
docker-compose up -d export	-client Start the Export Client registration microservice	1 minute
docker-compose up -d export	-distro Start the Export Distribution microservice	1 minute
docker-compose up -d rulesengine	Start the Rules Engine microservice	1 minute
docker-compose up -d device	-virtual Start the virtual device service	1 minute
docker-compose up -d device	-snmp Start the SNMP device service	1 minute

Check the containers status

Run a "docker ps -a" command to confirm that all the containers have been downloaded and started

Show containers

To get a list of all the EdgeX containers, you can use "docker-compose config --services"

Stop Containers

To stop (but not remove) all containers, issue "docker-compose stop".

To stop an individual container, you can use "docker-compose stop [compose-container-name]".

Start Containers

To start all the containers (after a stop) issue "docker-compose start" to re-start

To start an individual container, you can use "docker-compose start [compose-container-name]" (after that container has been stopped).

Delete Containers * DANGER*

To stop all the containers running and DELETE them, you can use "docker-compose down"

EdgeX Foundry Container Logs

To view the log of any container, use the command:

"docker-compose logs -f compose-container-name"

(ex. docker-compose logs -f edgex-device-snmp)

At this point the Dockerized version of EdgeX is running.

Adding the Device to EdgeX

Importing APIs

In this section you will be using the program Postman to interact with EdgeX. You will also need to have the file "core-metadata.raml" available to load into the Postman application. The file "core-metadata.raml" can be found here: "edgex/core-metadata..../src/test/resources/raml/core-metadata.raml"

Viewing available APIs

Open Postman
Click on the Import button
Add the file to the import dialog box - the application will take a about 30 seconds to digest the file you added.
If a list of API commands do not show up on the left hand side of the application then click on the "Collections" tab to the right of the "History" tab.

Create an addressable

In the "Collections" tab, select the option "POST /addressable action
Open the body tab
Modify its contents
- name: moxa-e2210-address
- protocol: HTTP (needs to be in ALL CAPS)
- address: 192.168.1.103 (IPV4 address)
- port: 161 (port # of snmp)
- path: empty (remove all text between parentheses)
- publisher, user, password, topic - do not need to be modified
Press the "Send" button when you are finished
Note the addressable id

Upload the profile

In the "Collections" tab select the option "POST /deviceprofile/uploadfile
Open the body tab
- Under "Key", look for the drop down menu for "text". Be sure to write "file" in the open box.
- Under "Value" click "Choose Files", locate your profile file.
Press Upload
Press the "Send" button when you are finished
Note the profile id

Post the device

In the "Collections" tab select the option "POST /device
Click on the "Body" tab
Modify its contents
- There are three components that are required to be modified. They are:
  - "Service"
  - "Profile"
  - "Addressable"
  - The others can be modified, however they are not required for operation
- name: moxa-e2210-device
- description: snmp smart ethernet io
- addressable:
  - name: moxa-e2210-address (same as used in addressable)
  - labels: labels: "snmp", "rtu","io" (same as used in snmp device profile)
- service:
  - name: edgex-device-snmp
- profile:
  - name: name: moxa-iologik-e2210 (same as used in snmp device profile)
Press the "Send" button when you are finished
Note the addressable id

What if a Mistake is Made

Get device id
Delete device id
Get device profile id
Delete device profile id
Get addressable id
Delete addressable id

Verify Device Added

Check the edgex-device-snmp logs to see if the device was added without issue

"sudo docker logs -f --tail 100 edgex-device-snmp"

Verify device is sending data

In the "Collections" tab select the option "GET /device

Change the port number form "48081" http://localhost:48081/api/v1/device to port number "48082" http://localhost:48082/api/v1/device

Press Send

You should see something similar to

{

            "id": "5a1d6f8ae4b0c3936013120f",

            "name": "diStatus0",

            "get": {

                "url": "http://localhost:48082/api/v1/device/5a1d7134e4b0c39360131212/command/5a1d6f8ae4b0c3936013120f", <-- This

                        "expectedValues": [

                            "diStatus0"

                        ]

                    },

                    {

                        "code": "503",

                        "description": "service unavailable",

                        "expectedValues": []

                    }

                ]

            },

            "put": null

 },

Double click on the "url" and a new tab within Postman should open, Press Send

If all went well you should see something similar to the following:

{"diStatus0":"0"}

If all did not go well the you will see an error or may "{ }" then you will need check the information you entered. If the data/result displayed was as expected, go ahead and proceed to creating a scheduled event

Creating a Scheduled Event

This is used to regularly get & push data to another service or for regularly viewing data.

Gathering information for the addressable

Got to http://localhost:48082/api/v1/device

Look for the id or the device that you want to schedule an event for

[

   {

       "name": "moxa-e2210-device",

       "id": "5a280a0be4b0c39393ec7780",  <--- This

       "description": "snmp smart ethernet io",

       "labels": [

           "snmp",

           "rtu",

           "io"

       ],

       "adminState": "unlocked",

In this case the id is "5a280a0be4b0c39393ec7780"

Next you want to get the "name" of the command you want to schedule an event for

"commands": [

           {

               "get": {

                   "url": "http://localhost:48082/api/v1/device/5a280a0be4b0c39393ec7780/command/5a2808e6e4b0c39393ec777c",

                       },

                       {

                           "code": "503",

                           ]

In this example the name is "diStatus0".

Create addressable

In this section you will need to supply a path the the item you want to schedule.

The path outline is:

/api/v1/device/{device id}/{command name}

In this case, the address would be

/api/v1/device/XXXX/diStatus0

/POST addressable

    “name”: ”schedule-moxa-di”

    “protocol”: “HTTP”

    “address”: “edgex-device-snmp”

    “port”: “xxxxx”

    “path”: ”/api/v1/device/{device id}/{command name}”

    “method”: “GET”  *** This will need to be added ***

Create a schedule

/POST schedule

    “name”: ”interval-moxa-di0”

    “start”: null (remove parenthesis and replace)

    “end”: null (remove parenthesis and replace)

    “frequency”: “PT5S”

Create an event that will use the schedule

/POST scheduleevent

    “name”: “device-moxa-di0”

    “addressable”:{“name”:”schedule-moxa-di”}

    “schedule”: ”interval-moxa-di0”

    “service”: “edgex-device-snmp” *** This will need to be added ***
