Asynchronous Request for Monitoring Reachability and Loss-Of-Connectivity Status of the Devices Over a Duration:

POST /diagnostics/basic/devicereachability

Contents

Uses and Requirements

The API allows specifying reachability for IP Data, SMS, and Loss of Connectivity in any combination in a single API request. The API also allows the application to specify the monitoring expiration time, which could amount to up to 10 years (3650 days) of monitoring duration for a set of devices.

The API can be used in bulk mode, where multiple device identifiers can be supplied in the API request. All devices detected as duplicates are considered a single request for all such devices for the purpose of the API call instance.

The API first provides a synchronous (200 OK) response after which it sends an asynchronous callback confirming the registration of the monitoring request for the duration. This callback may contain the reachability status of the device only if the device is reachable.

The calling application gets individual (per device) callbacks providing updates to the reachability status (as specified in the request) for the entire duration of monitoring. The expected frequency of such updates from a single device is dependent on the sleep mode timer settings for the device (using the worst-case assumption that the device does not initiate data itself).

Request

HTTP Request

Query Parameters

None.

Header Parameters

Parameter Name Data Type Description
Authorization
required		 string HTTP Authorization bearer token.

required		 string Must be application/json.

Request Body

Parameter Name Data Type Description
accountName
required		 String The name of a billing account, which is usually in the format of 10 digits, a hyphen, and then five more digits. Must include any leading zeros.
devices
required		 Array of device identifier objects Each object in the array identifies a device that you want to know reachability:
  • kind: the type of the identifier (IMEI, MDN, MSISDN, ICCID); Required for IoT devices; not needed for consumer devices.
  • id: a device identifier value; Required for IoT devices; not needed for consumer devices.
Note: the kind has to be the same across the list, mixed kind is not supported today.
requestType
required		 String Valid values include:
  • REACHABLE_FOR_DATA
  • REACHABLE_FOR_SMS (Not supported for Higher Category LTE devices (IMS devices.)
  • REACHABLE_FOR_DATA_SMS (Not supported for Higher Category LTE devices (IMS devices.)

  • REACHABLE_FOR_DATA_AND_LOSS
  • REACHABLE_FOR_SMS_AND_LOSS (Not supported for Higher Category LTE devices (IMS devices.)
  • REACHABLE_FOR_DATA_SMS_AND_LOSS (Not supported for Higher Category LTE devices (IMS devices.)
 
monitorExpirationTime
required		 String

Identifies the absolute time at which the reachability request is considered to expire, from 6 months to 10 years.

The format should be aligned with RFC3339, example: “2017-12-19T16:39:57-08:00” (in UTC passed as String)

Minimum 6 months to 10 years Maximum (up to 3650 days, to be precise).

Success Response

Status 200

Success Response with the body of the response includes requestID that can be used to correlate the callbacks.

Parameter Name Data Type Description
requestID string

A unique string that associates the request with the reachability information that is sent in asynchronous callback message (Callback Service set to “DiagnosticsService”).

ThingSpace sends a separate callback message for each device that was in the request. All of the callback messages have the same requestID (tansactionID).

Example Success Response

Status 200

{
  "requestId": "595f5c44-c31c-4552-8670-020a1545a84d"
}

Error response

Status 400

Failure Response with the body of the response includes errorResponse.

Parameter Name Data Type Description
errorResponse errorResponse object errorResponse object contains:
  • errorCode
  • errorMessage

Error codes and messages are listed on the Error Codes page, along with explanations and suggestions for corrective actions.

Reachability Callback Parameters

Parameter Name Data Type Description
requestId

A unique string that associates the request with the reachability information that is sent in asynchronous callback message.

ThingSpace sends a separate callback message for each device that was in the request. All of the callback messages have the same requestId.
deviceIds
required		 Array of device identifier objects Only one object with {kind, id} where kind shall be same as the one in initial request from customer:
  • kind: the type of the identifier (IMEI, MDN, MSISDN, ICCID)
  • id: a device identifier value
status
required		 String Success, Failed
diagnosticsResponse.deviceReachabilityResponse.deviceIdentifierCollection Array of device identifier objects All the non-null device identifiers for the device:
  • kind: the type of the identifier (IMEI, MDN, MSISDN, ICCID)
  • id: a device identifier value
Only included in Initial Callback of registration of event
diagnosticsResponse.deviceReachabilityResponse.monitorId String The ID of the registered monitor (UUID), which could be used by the customer when stopping the monitoring on this particular monitor.

This field is present only if status is SUCCESS.
diagnosticsResponse.deviceReachabilityResponse.accountName
required		 String The name of a billing account, which is usually in the format of 10 digits, a hyphen, and then five more digits. Must include any leading zeros.
diagnosticsResponse.deviceReachabilityResponse.reportedTime
required		 String

Identifies the absolute time at which the reachability report is received from SCEF.

diagnosticsResponse.deviceReachabilityResponse.registrationType String

Valid values include:

  • EVENT_REGISTER_FOR_DATA
  • EVENT_REGISTER_FOR_SMS
  • EVENT_REGISTER_FOR_CONNECTION_LOSS

diagnosticsResponse.deviceReachabilityResponse.MaxUEAvailabilityTime DateTime The timestamp (UTC) until which a device using a power-saving mechanism (CAT M or NB-IoT device) is expected to be reachable for DATA/SMS Delivery. Only sent when notificationReport value is REACHABLE_FOR_DATA/REACHABLE_FOR_SMS. 

This parameter will not be present if the device is anything other than a CAT-M or NB-IOT device. For CAT-M or NB-IOT device, this parameter may only be present if it is generated for PSM/eDRX wakeups; it may not be provided in other cases.
