Manage devices

​

View a device

To view a device in Miru, navigate to the Devices page, click the device, and open its Overview tab. The Overview shows the device’s details and its deployment activity. Details The Status and Properties cards show the device’s status, group, current release, and agent version. Activity The deployments for this device are listed with the most recent at the top. Click a deployment to expand the list of changes it made, and click a change to view its diff.

​

Provision a device

To provision a device, visit the device provisioning documentation.

​

Edit a device

You can change a device’s name and description. To change its group, move the device instead. To edit a device, click the ellipses (…) on the device you want to edit and hit Edit. A dialog will appear. Update the name or description, then click Save.

​

Ping a device

Pinging a device sends a real-time request to verify whether it is online. Ping requests wait up to 5 seconds for a response from the device before timing out. Online devices should return a success message similar to the one below. On the other hand, offline devices should return a timeout message similar to the one below.

​

Move a device

To move a device to a different group, click the ellipses (…) on the device you want to move and select Move. A dialog will appear. Select the group you want to move the device to and hit Move.

​

Archive a device

Archiving a device:

• Sets its status to archived and hides it from the devices list
• Immediately invalidates the device’s authentication session, so the Miru Agent can no longer connect to Miru or receive config updates
• Prevents new deployments to the device
• Frees up a device slot in your plan’s device limit (archived devices do not count toward billing)

Archiving keeps the device’s full deployment and configuration history. No data is lost when archiving a device and it can be restored at any time. To archive a device, click the ellipses (…) on the device and select Archive. A confirmation dialog will appear. Click Archive to confirm.

​

Restore an archived device

Archived devices can’t be unarchived directly. To bring an archived device back, you must reprovision it. The device returns to activating and then online, and keeps its deployment history. Restoring a device counts toward your plan’s device limit and will be billed accordingly.

​

Delete a device

Deleting a device permanently removes it from Miru and immediately invalidates its authentication session. This action is irreversible. Please proceed with caution. A device can only be deleted if it has never had a deployment. Devices with deployment history must be archived instead. To delete a device, click the ellipses (…) on the device you want to delete and hit Delete. A confirmation dialog will appear. Click Delete to confirm.

​

Bulk actions

To act on several devices at once, turn on Multi-select in the display options and check the devices you want. A bar at the bottom of the page shows how many devices are selected and what you can do with them:

• Move : move the devices to a group, up to 1,000 at a time. See Move a device.
• Archive : archive the devices, up to 100 at a time. If only some of them can be archived, the button shows how many, for example Archive (3). See Archive a device.
