Cloud manager
If you don't see this page, you need to enable the Advanced options toggle in the top right.
The Cloud manager page controls how Capture Edge talks to the cloud for:
- software updates
- device registration (provisioning)
- authentication (login)
- configuration refresh polling
- an optional realtime MQTT connection for diagnostics
Most deployments point these endpoints to the Capture platform. If you run a custom environment, replace them with your environment URLs.
Cloud manager settings
Updater endpoint
Endpoint used by the updater to check for and download software updates.
If updates are failing, this endpoint is the first place to verify.
Provisioning endpoint
Endpoint used to register/provision the device in the cloud.
Auth endpoint
Endpoint used for login/authentication.
This endpoint is used when Capture Edge needs to authenticate against the cloud services (for example to retrieve configuration or access protected APIs).
Config refresh (ms)
How often Capture Edge checks whether a new configuration is available.
- Unit: milliseconds
- Lower values detect new configurations faster but increase polling frequency.
Do not set this unnecessarily low. Excessive polling increases network and server load.
Real time cloud connection (MQTT)
This section configures the endpoint for the realtime cloud connection, which uses MQTT.
Endpoint
MQTT endpoint used for realtime communication with the cloud.
This connection is used for:
- realtime logs
- diagnostics (as supported by the platform)
This realtime connection is not required, but it is recommended because it improves observability and speeds up troubleshooting.
If realtime MQTT is not configured or not reachable, Capture Edge continues to function. Data collection and batch syncing are not dependent on this connection.
