Configuration Compare and Import Tool
To help Console users manage the Configuration Lifecycle across environments, we introduced the new Compare and Import tool, which allows you to move your configuration updates from the DEVELOP environment to STAGING and finally to PRODUCTION.
Through the new Compare and Import tool within the console, you can:
Clearly visualize changes between two environments (STAGING and PRODUCTION), including new objects (metrics, events, actions, views, etc.), modified options, and content differences (images, templates, JS, CSS).
Ensure that all necessary elements are imported via a dependency-checking system that verifies the consistency of the target configuration before being updated.
Support internal review processes to ensure that any changes to the PRODUCTION environment are first validated using the STAGING environment.
Adopt an incremental release policy by selecting specific changes to be imported without overwriting the entire configuration.
Byte Array Encoding
In case your IoT data is published as byte arrays, you can now leverage the Byte Array encoding.
In a Raw Data metric, by selecting this new encoding, you can specify the start position, number of bytes, and byte order to transform encoded payload values to standard values (e.g., Strings, Integers, Floats).
This way, you can publish multiple values in the same array, reducing the payload overhead caused by useless field names.
