@Frank_Faessen can you give a more detailed description of the following improvements?

  • [opc-ua] Add productUri
  • [opc-ua] Decrease session timeout

Sure. Note that both points are only relevant when you use Cloud Logging via the OPC-UA protocol. As indicated by the [opc-ua] tag.

[opc-ua] Add productUri
Previously, the IXrouter did not report a “productUri” when setting up communication with a local OPC-UA server. The productUri can be used by an OPC-UA server to distinguish which (type of) device is trying to communicate. From 3.22 onwards, the IXrouter reports the productUri: IXrouter3.

[opc-ua] Decrease session timeout
Previously, the OPC-UA session timeout was set to 20 minutes. Meaning when an OPC-UA data source was removed from the IXON Cloud (and subsequently the configuration was pushed to the IXrouter), the inactive OPC-UA session was cleaned up 20 minutes later. This has been reduced to 1 minute to clean up old inactive cases faster.
