Update¶
On the "Update" tab, the analysis and data source configuration can be updated to the Edge Device. "Update" also provides information about the active configuration of the Edge Device. After the upgrade, your device starts to execute the configuration.
The configuration can only be updated to the Edge Device if the "Data Point" Quota is not exceeded. Each read data from a Data Source configuration consumes one Data Point of the Quota. The Quota can be filled up with additional Data Points for the whole tenant.
The following graphic shows the "Update" user interface:
① Overview about Data Point Quota
