Configuring MQTT messages for the integration

Add new properties to the MQTT messages that are generated from inspections in Maximo® Visual Inspection Edge and are linked to a device type in Maximo Monitor.

Before you begin

Before you begin, check that the alerts are working correctly:

  • In Maximo Visual Inspection Edge, check that the inspections that you updated during the integration are generating alerts.
  • In Maximo Monitor, open the device types that were created during the integration and view their recent events. When the integration is configured correctly, the inspection alerts from Maximo Visual Inspection Edge generate events in Maximo Monitor.

About this task

Note: New properties are added to the default generic device type properties and cannot be modified. Therefore, new properties cannot be added and existing properties cannot be deselected.

Procedure

  1. In Maximo Visual Inspection Edge, from the side navigation menu, expand Settings and then click Maximo Monitor.
  2. Click Add device type.
  3. Select or deselect the properties that specify the MQTT message properties that are sent to Maximo Monitor when this device type is assigned to an inspection.
  4. In the New properties section, select the Trigger property and then enter a single key from the JSON object in the MQTT trigger messages.
    When the inspection has MQTT triggers enabled, MQTT trigger messages are sent to Maximo Visual Inspection Edge to trigger the inspection of images. A single value can be included in the trigger messages.
  5. In the Inspections section, select the Maximo Monitor device type.
    Assets are created in Maximo Monitor and mapped to the device type. For more information about assets, see Monitoring by device type..
