Hello everyone, We are currently developing a Cumulocity application that needs to display the timestamp of a device’s last connection to the platform. Our initial idea was to use the availability monitoring feature by setting a sending interval via c8y_RequiredAvailability. According to the documentation, the platform should then save the last connection timestamp in the c8y_Availability fragment. However, we encountered an issue: For certain devices, we calculate daily, weekly, and monthly values through a microservice that writes measurements back to the device. This process updates the timestamp in c8y_Availability, which causes it to no longer represent the last connection time of the device, but instead reflects the last measurement update. Does anyone have suggestions on how we could implement a solution or work around this issue? Or are there any upcoming features that might support this use case? Product/components used and version/fix level: Application Version Frontend 1018.503.106x1.1 Backend 1018.540.195 Question related to a free trial, or to a production (customer) instance? Production

Hi, this previous post might help you here: Device availability status not changing when measurments created using sdk api - #2 by Stefan_Witschel When you’re adding the X-Cumulocity-Application-Key HTTP header to the requests of your microservice, they are ignored for the c8y_Availability status and time.

Check your code and add the Header Korbinian mentioned to ignore the requests for the device connectivity status. [image] Microservices Best Practices: Updating Device Connectivity Status with Java SDK Knowledge Base Overview As you might have read in the Microservice Best Practices: Getting Started article already, Microservices can be used to implement multiple patterns. One of the most used patterns for Cumulocity IoT is the server-side device agent which retrieves/fetches data from devices, maps it to the Cumulocity IoT Domain model, and implements the REST Open API to transport the data to Cumulocity. When updating the device connectivity status with a microservice this often leads to the case that t…
