Application Manager service configurations

Application Manager service

The Application Manager is a service that enables you to manage the IOx application lifecycle. The lifecycle involves tasks such as uploading, installing and managing application on a specific network device.

Within the IoT OD, you can also perform tasks such as upgrading the applications, viewing event logs, uninstalling applications, and much more using the Application Manager service.

Create device profiles

A device profile is a configuration file that contains user credentials to access devices. Use the device profile to onboard multiple devices to the Cisco IoT OD. Cisco IoT OD uses the user credentials configured in the device profile to establish a connection with multiple devices.

Add a new device profile to store credentials for onboarding multiple devices to Cisco IoT Operations Dashboard (IoT OD).

Before you begin

Ensure you have privilege level 15 user credentials to assign to the device profile.

Procedure


Step 1

Go to Device Profiles and click Create Device Profile.

The Create Device Profile page appears.

Step 2

On the Create Device Profile page, enter a profile name in the Device Profile Name field and optionally enter a description in the Device Profile Description field.

Step 3

In the Configure credentials area, enter the username and password in their respective fields for the device profile configuration.

Step 4

Click Next.

The device profile is ready for your review.

Step 5

After confirming the device profile details, click Create Device Profile.


The new device profile appears in the Device Profiles list, ready for use in device onboarding.

What to do next

Add devices to the Application Manager service.
