TTN V3 Gateway Azure Configuration Simplication

Posted on by

To reduce complexity the initial version of the V3 TTI gateway didn’t support the Azure Device Provisioning Service(DPS). In preparation for this I had included DeviceProvisioningServiceSettings object in both the Application and AzureSettingsDefault sections.

After trialing a couple of different approaches I have removed the AzureSettingsDefault. If an application has a connectionstring configured that is used, if there is not one then the DPS configuration is used, if there are neither currently the application logs an error. In the future I will look at adding a configuration option to make the application optionally shutdown

          }
        },

      },

          }
        },
        "MQTTAccessKey": "NNSXS.V44...42A",
        "DeviceIntegrationDefault": true,
        "DevicePageSize": 10
      }
    },

    "TheThingsIndustries": {
      "MqttServerName": "eu1.cloud.thethings.industries",
      "MqttClientId": "MQTTClient",

      "DevicePageSize": 10,
      "DeviceIntegrationDefault": true
    }
  }
}

The implementation of failing back from application to default settings wasn’t easy to implement, explain or document.
