Introduction
The Edge Device Manager (EDM) is a secure, cloud-native, scalable tool to provision, manage and monitor IoT network devices. It is one of the components of the Cisco IoT Operations Dashboard (IoT OD). IoT OD is a cloud-based dashboard that empowers operations teams to uncover valuable insights that help them streamline operations and drive business continuity with one secure, comprehensive view of all their connected industrial assets.
EDM API is a RESTful API to programmatically deploy, monitor, and gain insights from networking devices and connected industrial assets at scale. This enables you to integrate with any third-party system so you can manage/monitor your data in multiple applications securely from a single pane of glass, using proper authentication and authorization.
What can you do with the EDM API?
- Manage EDM Configuration Groups and Templates
- Onboard devices to EDM Inventory in bulk
- Push configuration and run firmware upgrades on a batch of devices
- Fetch and update the device and connected industrial asset details
- Monitor device interfaces
- Troubleshoot onboarded devices by looking at device events and alerts and running troubleshooting commands
- Deactivate and delete devices in EDM Inventory
