HighByte Intelligence Hub Version 2.0

​New Features:
  • Added support to centrally manage all hubs through a single “central” hub. This includes support for Network Groups and Hubs to manage remote connections, as well as project comparison and synchronization.
  • Added support for Users and Roles. This allows access control on what a user(s) can view and/or modify.
  • Added support for logging user-level audit messages based on configuration access / updates.
  • Added support for viewing event log information within the user interface.
  • Added support for automatically backing up configuration files prior to saving new changes. The user can specify how often to save and how many backups to keep. Once the limit is reached, the oldest backup files are deleted first.
  • Added support for Amazon Kinesis Data Streams connector. Supports outbound only.
  • Added support for Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose connector. Supports outbound only.
  • Added support for managing certificates within the user interface.
  • Updated event log messages to include the source (e.g., Runtime, Azure IoT Hub Connector, and OPC UA Connector).
  • Updated MQTT connector to support the retained flag to MQTT outputs. This signals whether or not the MQTT broker should cache the last value sent.
  • Updated REST connector to allow inputs to reference any connections' inputs.
  • Updated SQL connector to allow inputs to reference inputs with complex data types.
Fixes:​​
  • Fixed JSON based configuration obfuscation error with a Connection's Store/Forward and Write settings.
  • Fixed CSV connector issues:
    • Where the first row was read twice.
    • With test reads (reads initiated through the configuration tool were modifying an internal file cache).
  • Fixed OPC UA connector issue when using username / password level security with OPC UA servers that return ‘Username’ instead of ‘Username_Basic256’ as the policy string.
