Configuration Options

You can generally deploy a ux4iot without specifying any parameters, except for the iotHubEventHubConnectionString. This is because we provide default values for all other configuration variables. However we highly recommend setting a serverVersion. Without it you will deploy the latest code version which is basically a version of a single commit. You will use a development version of ux4iot then.

The configuration options are somewhat ordered by priority. You will need the last ones the least amount of time. We recommend to deploy a ux4iot service with at least the following configuration variables:

  • serverVersion
  • iotHubEventHubConnectionString
  • iotHubServiceConnectionString
  • eventHubConsumerGroup
  • sku
Bicep / ARM Parameter Default Value Description Allowed Values type
serverVersion latest ux4iot docker image version to deploy infra
iotHubEventHubConnectionString The connection string of the EventHub that publishes data you want to subscribe to server
iotHubServiceConnectionString "" The service connection string of the IoTHub you want to access for devices. You need to pick a connection string that includes the policies "Registry Read" and "Service Connect" server
eventHubConsumerGroup $Default The consumer group of the EventHub that publishes data you want to subscribe to server
sku standard The scaling tier of ux4iot. Influences cpu and memory of ux4iot and redis containers within the container app.

Standard:
cpu cores redis: 0.5
memory redis: 1Gi
cpu cores ux4iot: 1.0
memory ux4iot: 2Gi

Small:
cpu cores redis: 0.25
memory redis: 0.5Gi
cpu cores ux4iot: 0.5
memory ux4iot: 1Gi
standard | small infra
minReplicas 1 The minimum number of replicas for the ux4iot container app. infra
throttlingInterval -1 Throttle time to delay messages put on the websocket for consumers in milliseconds. server
connectionStateCacheTTL 60 Time in seconds how long a connection state update is persisted in the internal ux4iot cache, in seconds. Set to -1 or 0 set the lifetime to infinity. server
deviceTwinCacheTTL -1 Time in seconds how long a device twin is persisted in the internal ux4iot cache, in seconds. Set to -1 for no caching. Set to 0 to set the lifetime to infinity. server
customTimestampKey _ts Custom object key of a message to look for the timestamp server
customDeviceIdKey deviceId Custom object key of a message to look for the deviceId server
customConnectionStateKey "" Custom object key of a message to look for the connectionState. server
connectionStateOnTelemetry true Flag on whether the connection state of a device should be updated whenever a telemetry message for that device is received. true | false server
logLevel info Sets the initial log level of ux4iot error | warn | info | verbose | debug server
location resourceGroup().location The location where all resources of ux4iot should be deployed infra
logAnalyticsTracesTableTier Analytics Tier of the log analytics traces table. You can only change this value once a week, as dictated by microsoft.
Basic Tier will give you less options when querying for logs, but is cheaper. Also the retention time will be set to 7 days instead of 90.
