Inventory

The inventory stores devices and other assets relevant to your IoT solution. We refer to them as managed assets.

Managed assets can be “smart objects” such as smart electricity meters, home automation gateways and GPS devices. They can be assets you would like to monitor, such as rooms in which sensors are installed, or cars containing GPS devices.

The following JSON code shows an example of a managed asset in the inventory, in this case a gateway.

In general, each managed asset consists of:

A unique identifier that references the object.
The name of the object.
A time stamp showing the last update.
Assets specific settings – as JSON.
