Devices Global Configuration

Devices Global Configuration is a global server configuration property containing options that apply to all devices configured in Iotellect Server.

Value type: String

Possible values: Dependent on the actions available to the devices currently configured in Iotellect Server.

Default value: Synchronize

This setting determines the action performed immediately after a new device is added to Iotellect Server. The default "Synchronize" value indicates that devices will attempt to perform a Synchronization immediately after being created.

Value type: Long

Possible values: Positive integer (number of milliseconds)

Default value: 604800000 (1 week)

Defines the retention period for entities (variables, functions, and events) that were previously reported by the device and its driver but are no longer reported during recent synchronizations.

During this period, the system retains and re-applies synchronization parameters (such as polling interval or writability settings) if the entity reappears.

After the period expires, these parameters are discarded, and the entity is treated as new upon reappearance.

This setting helps balance stability and adaptability for devices with evolving data models.

Setting this value too high may lead to low performance issues on devices where the list of available entities frequently changes.
