Source Configuration

A gateway configuration is a configuration that defines what a Capture Edge Gateway collects, where it is stored, how it is synced to the cloud, etc.

Pages​

Use the left navigation to move between configuration areas.

Top-right actions​

The configuration editor exposes four actions in the top-right.

1) Advanced options toggle​

Enable or disable advanced options. For basic configuration the non-advanced options will be enough. If you miss a page or option described here, you should enable the advanced options first.

2) </> JSON editor​

Opens the JSON editor overlay.

  • View or edit the configuration in raw JSON.
  • Intended for advanced users.
  • Useful for copy/paste workflows:
    • between Capture Edge and the portalZ
    • between environments
warning

Editing JSON bypasses UI validation and can break the configuration. Use only when you understand the schema.

3) Push configuration to linked edge gateways​

Pushes the current configuration to all gateways linked to this configuration.

Causes a restart

Pushing a configuration triggers a restart of the Capture Edge services on the affected gateways. This results in a short pause in data collection.

important

You must save changes before pushing. Unsaved changes are not included in the push.

4) Linked gateways / delete menu (three dots)​

Opens a menu with management actions:

  • Show linked edge gateways: displays the gateways currently using this configuration.
  • Delete configuration: deletes the configuration.
caution

Deleting a configuration affects any gateways still linked to it. Ensure the configuration is no longer in use before deleting.

5) Save​

Saves the configuration.

  • Green: there are unsaved changes.
  • Gray: everything is saved (nothing to save).
Saving does not apply changes to gateways

Saving stores the configuration but does not immediately apply it to edge gateways. To apply changes:

  • use Push to update all linked gateways, or
  • update a single gateway from the Edge Gateways page.
