Cumulocity Device with inconsistent internet access

, ,

Product/components used and version/fix level:

C8Y 1016
Thin-Edge 12

Detailed explanation of the problem:

I want to bring a device into Cumulocity that does not always have internet access. Is thin-edge able to buffer data to be send later or are there better options I can take to get the data into Cumulocity?

Error messages / full error message screenshot / log file:

Question related to a free trial, or to a production (customer) instance?

Just checked the thin-edge FAQ:

Reliability - Thin-edge.io components can survive in chaotic environments as network outages and process restarts happen.

Thank you for the answer!
But that does not say anything about buffering data, that can’t be send due to a network outage, if I interpret it correctly.
Which way is it meant?

The data buffering is provided by mosquitto (the MQTT broker running on the device). You have to make sure you have the persistence enabled in the mosquitto.conf file, then it should be ok.

You can check out all of the mosquitto options on their documentation
