What's new in Cloudera Edge Management

Cloudera Edge Management is an edge management solution made up of edge agents and an edge management hub. It manages, controls and monitors edge agents to collect data from edge devices and push intelligence back to the edge.

Cloudera Edge Management 1.2.0 is a minor release that contains performance improvements, bug fixes, and new features including:

EFM High Availability and Horizontal Scalability

The EFM server has been optimized to support a large number of MiNiFi agents, and it can be run as a cluster for high availability and horizontal scalability. For more information including instructions for running multiple EFM instances, see the section for setting up an EFM cluster.

Flow Imports and Exports

You can now migrate the Flow Designer flows from an existing EFM server to new EFM instances. It helps to share Flow Designer flows across organizations.

To enable this feature, REST API endpoints are added to EFM to support exporting and importing of Flow Designer flows.

Agent Manifest Resolution Strategy

EFM now supports the following strategies to resolve agent manifest at run time to allow the agents to be easily upgraded with additional capabilities:

First In
This is the default manifest resolution strategy and binds an agent class to the first manifest reported for it.
Last In
This strategy updates the associated manifest to the most recently reported by any agent associated with the specified class.
Static
This strategy allows mapping of an agent class to a specific manifest ID.
