Stop Diagnostics Observation:

DELETE /devices/attributes/actions/observe

Stops existing Diagnostics observation of IOT devices.

Contents

Uses and Requirements

You can cancel existing diagnostic reporting. A list of devices must be specified along with the specific RF attributes for which you want diagnostic observation to be stopped.

Note: There is a known issue with the lightweight machine-to-machine (LWM2M) observation timer expiring. Three things to be aware of:

  1. LWM2M has an expiry timer for each observation session
  2. LWM2M will only verify if the timer has expired if it receives notifications from the device
  3. If the the device stops communicating for whatever reason, LWM2M servers will not send an OBSERVE_DURATION_EXPIRED to ThingSpace (When LWM2M servers receive notification after the observation period that is when it would typically cancel the observe session and send notifications).  If this scenario occurs where the device stops communicating prior to observation period expiring the customer will have to manually turn "Request real time streaming" option off via the ThingSpace Portal or use this API

To turn off "Request real time streaming" at the portal:

  1. log in to the portal
  2. Select your device to open Device Details
  3. Click on the button labeled "Live stream" to open RF live stream
  4. Click on the switch to toggle "Request real time streaming" off
