JSON Column Support for Collections

Collections now supports the new column type “jsonb”. This will enable users to store json values in the database tables and query based on keys (for objects) or indexes (for arrays).

Upsert Functionality

In addition to JSON column support, collections also now support the upsert function. This prevents two different services from updating a row at the same time or creating duplicate rows.

Deploy Sync

Edge and Deployment sync statuses can now be monitored using a REST API endpoint. There is also an endpoint available to retry a failed deployment sync. This allows for sync status to be monitored real time and respond faster to a sync fail.

File Management

File management allows for binary, log, configuration, etc. files to be easily moved, read, and processed between the edges and platform. This can be done using our Native Libraries API in a code service.

Async Library The ClearBlade Async library works with the event loop to provide asynchronous ClearBlade functions.

MQTT Library The MQTT library allows users to connect to any external broker or to the internal broker for the same system.

Big Query

The ClearBlade Native Library now supports the Big Query External Database. The database operations can be performed using the performOperation function.

Asset Monitor v2 A new Asset Monitor version is now available with UI/UX updates. Major highlights include:

No-coding capabilities for themes to allow for easier customization for branding.

Parent-child hierarchical relationships using Asset and Asset Type Trees to make data asset management easier and cleaner.

Java SDK Device and user authentication is now supported using Java SDK. This allows for more flexibility in authentication. Improving usability by adding more templates for the SDK usage.

Edge Management Edges can be deployed using initd or systemd scripts on Linux based operating systems as long as they support initd or systemd . The following operating systems have been verified:

RHEL 6 & 7

Centos 6 & 7

Debian 9 & above.

This allows for the edges to restart on device reboots.

Unidirectional Deployment

This feature allows an asset to be deployed from platform to edge at edge start up. There are 2 sync options that can be used:

Sync to Edge - An asset is deployed, and then any future change on Platform will be synced with ALL selected Edges.

Sync to Platform - An asset is deployed, and then any future change on an Edge will be synced with the platform only. A change to one Edge will no longer sync to other Edges.

Refresh Tokens

Refresh tokens gives new access tokens without an username and passwords. This allows devices the ability to get a new access token when its current token expires without reauthentication.

Role Management in PlatformSDK

Developers can now perform role and permission management natively using PlatformSDK. This includes creating roles, assigning roles to user/device, increasing/decreasing permissions, etc.

Event Topics for Stream Services

Event topics allows for greater scalability when handling stream service events by allowing the platform to send a MQTT message for each event.

JWT tokens for Authentication

Newly added JWT tokens are returned when a user/developer/device is authenticated to enhance account security.

Code Service Event Loop

The setTimeout() and setInterval() Javascript functions, as well as promises, are now available natively. The functions allow for callbacks executions to be scheduled.

Timer Page

Timers can now be managed on the Timers page in a system. The configuration is the same as the Timers tab on the Code Services page. The new page will help identify which timers are tied to a service and which ones are not.

Key notes:

IoT Data Orchestration

This feature allows for bi-directional streaming into any database, with full functionality, this includes relational, document, warehouse, and cloud offering. Users can implement this in

ClearBlade using the External Databases functionality.

Raw Queries for ClearBlade’s native Databases

Developers can now run raw queries on platform and edge. The queries can run against collections, user, and device tables. The new raw queries supports all SQL operations such as

JOIN, LIKE, GROUP BY, ORDER BY, etc which were not supported by ClearBlade’s old query model.

Custom Microservice Response Object

New customizable service responses that can be interoperated with existing APIs and webhooks. resp.success resp.error resp.set resp.status resp.send

Asset Monitoring

Asset monitoring is a solution template within ClearBlade that is designed to be customizable for various monitoring and tracking use-cases. It gives the ability to monitor and track assets and alert when an action is performed

Audit Trail

Audit trail is a record of who made changes, when the changes were made, and what type of changes were made in a system. The purpose of the audit trail is to view the history of changes when a question arises.
