Agent Management Client for Java¶

Introduction¶

The Agent Management Java client allows you to onboard, offboard, update and delete agents. It provides connectivity functions to enable communication with Insights Hub.

Further implementation of the AgentManagement SDK library has been shown in a sample project that you can download and test in local or on Insights Hub application. Please refer to this repository: industrial-iot-java-sdk-examples

See Agent Management for more information about the service.

Hint

In the IoT context, assets are referred to as entity and aspects as propertyset. The following code samples switch between these terms depending on the used APIs.
Placeholders in the following samples are indicated by angular brackets < >.

configuration.setConfigurationId(<configuration_id>);
configuration.addDataSourcesItem(data_sources_item);

DataSourceConfiguration data_source_configuration = null;

try {
  data_source_configuration = data_source_configuration_client.agentsIdDataSourceConfigurationPut(<agent_id>, configuration);
} catch (MindsphereException e) {
