6.1.3 Configuration Management

Many Predix Machine bundles use configuration files to specify their behavior. These configuration files can be managed
both from EdgeManager across multiple Field Agents and from the Predix Machine Web Console for an individual Field
Agent. In both cases, a default set of configuration and application files must be obtained as a starting place for making
modifications and additions. The default collection of configuration files is referred to as the Configuration Template.
Configuration Templates for the various Field Agent types can be found below.
Embedded Field Agent Predix Machine configuration files can be obtained from the following location:

EdgeManager Configuration Management

Note Not all configuration files that ship with Predix Machine will be applied when deployed from EdgeManager.
For example, the identity configuration file is unique to each Field Agent, and is therefore left unaffected on the Field
Agent even if a new identity configuration file is deployed from EdgeManager.
Below is a list of Predix Machine configuration files that are not applied to the Field Agent by default. This list can be found in
the configuration\install\install.sh script inside the Configuration Template.

Instructions for modifying configuration files to send Modbus TCP or OPC UA data from a connected industrial device to the
Predix Time Series Database can be found in the section,
In order to make a group of configuration files available in EdgeManager to deploy to one or more Field Agents, the entire
outer "configuration" directory must be compressed into a zip file such that decompression will result in a "configuration"
directory with all contents contained within. Refer to the section,
The configuration zip file must then be uploaded to EdgeManager in the Repository tab. With the Repository tab selected,
perform the following steps:
1. Press the Upload button on the Repository tab to make the Upload dialog appear
2. In the Name field, enter a name for the configuration
3. In the Type field, select "Configuration"
4. In the Version field, enter a version number in the form x.y.z
5. Optionally enter a Vendor name
6. Optionally enter a Description
7. In the File field, click the Choose File button, browse to the configuration zip file and select it
8. Press the Upload button on the Upload form to commit the configuration zip file to the EdgeManager Repository
