Project Settings
22 min
a project represents an individual plant that a company operates projects contain the edge devices required for plant operations and maintain separate team access privileges from company level teams project settings provide a centralized location to configure data storage format, backup retention, metrics sync intervals, incident handling, time zone, team access, mqtt connectivity, and the message schema used by connected devices why this matters each plant may have different network environments, data requirements, and operational teams project level settings let you configure these independently by plant without affecting other projects in the same company core components project settings are organized across four tabs tab purpose settings operational configuration storage format, backups, metrics, incidents, time zone members team assignment and access privileges for the project credentials mqtt connection details, ssl certificates, topics, and acl message schema json schema for messages published by connected devices operational model backup retention lem retains the most recent backups per edge device the default retention count is three backups per device metrics sync interval configure how frequently lem polls edge devices for metrics you can set a project specific sync interval (in seconds) in enable edge device metrics sync defer to the interval defined in individual edge devices by selecting use instance's edge device metrics sync settings incident resolution incidents generated by edge devices can resolve automatically when trigger conditions clear or require manual resolution by your team roles and permissions team access assign company level teams to the project from the members tab team definitions are managed in company settings docid\ xwuuyvehjgibb0bywlwst mqtt access control the credentials tab manages credentials, custom topics, and acl entries that control which clients can publish to or subscribe from project topics project settings use the settings tab to configure the project name and description, edge device data storage and backup settings, metrics reporting intervals, incident resolution behavior, and time zone you can also remove a project from this tab project modify the project name, and add or modify the project description edge device data storage you have the option of storing edge device data in clickhouse you can store raw data or oma (open mobile alliance) data oma data oma data has been deprecated from litmus edge and litmus edge manager, but this option is available for backwards compatibility we recommend selecting raw data raw data we recommend using this option to visualize data in grafana, you must select raw data see grafana dashboards docid\ ytc1n5poojr1elw34jqmf and visualize child device data using grafana docid\ cy2mwkiuvj2nvnbzhaotc to learn more edge devices backups configure the backup retention policy for edge devices by default, litmus edge manager stores the three latest backups per edge device edge device metrics sync interval edge device metrics sync controls how often litmus edge manager polls connected edge devices for metrics data adjusting the interval lets you balance reporting frequency against network and performance constraints a shorter interval provides more granular visibility into edge device behavior a longer interval reduces network load in bandwidth limited environments sync interval priority the sync interval can be configured at three levels device, project and instance by default, lower level settings take priority the device sync setting overrides the project setting for that device the project sync setting overrides the instance setting for all devices in the project you can also override these priority settings at the device level by choosing to use the project's metrics sync settings (see manage docid\ boofh2bjolfpger0qymmf ) here at the project level by enabling use instance's edge device metrics sync settings (see management docid\ vzynhousltjeto0f1afa1 ) note edge device metrics sync settings is available for litmus edge manager version 2 26 1 and later set the edge device metrics sync interval the default interval is 30 seconds with a valid range of 30 to 604,800 seconds (1 week) do any of the following use the enable edge device metrics sync toggle to enable or disable synchronization of metrics update the sync interval for the project by providing a new value in enable edge device metrics sync to instead use the interval defined by the instance, select use instance's edge device metrics sync settings manually trigger a synch by clicking fetch latest data incidents resolution choose whether to automatically resolve incidents created by edge devices when enabled, incidents are automatically resolved depending on trigger conditions specified for incidents when disabled, you manually resolve incidents yourself when enabled, incidents are resolved for edge devices that are offline timezone select the time zone for your project you can remove the time zone and reselect the time zone remove project remove the selected project removing a project cannot be undone members tab teams select a company level team, including role, for the selected project available options for a company level team are based on teams you added in the company teams section in company settings > company > company teams section (see company settings docid\ xwuuyvehjgibb0bywlwst ) credentials tab connection copy any of the server urls listed in the connection list mqtt server ssl certificate view, copy, or download mqtt server certificate web server ssl certificate view, copy, or download web server ssl certificate credentials add, copy, or remove a credential credentials are used for accessing wildcard and custom topics topics you can add, copy, and remove a custom topic you can copy a default topic there are three preloaded topics credentials to send the data to send request to receive responses acl you can add or remove an access control for a topic associated with the selected project message schema tab from the json section, you can view and download the json schema of messages from devices that publish to the mqtt data topic related topics company settings management grafana dashboards visualize child device data using grafana oma
