Configuration

The device service microservice is used to get and control the device/sensor. Before starting it, you needs to configure the IP, port and related parameters based on physical environment and usage.

Content

• Configure device service IP and related service IPs

• Configure device service port

• Configure the logging location of the device server (debugging information)

Configure IP

The device service configuration file is res/configuration.toml. Set the Device service IP to the device Host IP of the device service installed, i.e., 172.16.8.130

Set all other hosts to the device IP of EdgeX's microservices installed, i.e., 172.16.8.87. By default, the device service and EdgeX's microservices are installed on the same device. In this case, the Service IP and other host IPs are the same. Note that the Host IP should be physical IP, instead of localhost.

Configure the Port

The port settings of the device service and other services in the configuration.toml file are preset. Please make sure the port is not blocked and duplicated.
