Change Description


Two new request counters for usage statistics operationsCreatedCount, operationsUpdateCount, introduced for REST endpoints in an earlier version (10.20.611.0), are now fully implemented. These counters are incremented in the following way:

  • operationsCreated: When operations are created via REST by POST request on a single operations API (/devicecontrol/operations) or the bulk operations API (/devicecontrol/bulkoperations).
    • Creating bulk operations leads to asynchronously creating individual operations in the background, and Cumulocity is counting each created operation individually.
  • operationsUpdated: When a single operation is updated via REST, or via MQTT standard SmartREST static templates (501-507), or via MQTT custom SmartREST templates.
    • Template 507 can cause multiple operations updates, so each updated operation is counted separately.
