Create iot.cfg

Create the iot.cfg file to specify operation of the device manager's features.

The iot.cfg is used to define alternatives to the default settings that control the operation of the device manager's features. They are defined as attribute-value pairs in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format. The attributes include the log level, supported device management methods, and so on.

  1. Create a device connection configuration file called iot.cfg.
  2. Add the following definitions for your system. 
    {

    "runtime_dir":"runtime",
    "log_level": "INFO",
    "actions_enabled":{
            "shutdown_device":true,
            "reboot_device":true,
            "reset_agent":true,
            "file_transfers":true,
            "software_update":true,
            "restore_factory_images":true,
            "decommission_device":true,
            "dump_log_files": true,
            "remote_login":true
        },
        "wait_for_file_transfer":true,
        "download_timeout":60,
        "upload_tar_file":true,
        "upload_remove_on_success":true,
        "remote_access_support":[
                { "name": "Telnet", "port":"23", "session_timeout":"120" },
                { "name": "SSH",    "port":"22", "session_timeout":"120" },
                { "name": "VNC",    "port":"5900" },
                { "name": "HTTP",   "port":"80"   },
                { "name": "RDP",    "port":"3389" }
               
        ]
}
