Devices

A device is a machine to which config instances are deployed. This could be an NVIDIA Jetson, Raspberry Pi, industrial PC, or any other computer running your robot’s application. Configurations are deployed to devices via the Miru Agent, a lightweight systemd service that runs on your devices, handling the deployment lifecycle of configurations. Visit the Miru Agent documentation for more information.

Status

Devices leverage several states to track their registration and connectivity with the Miru control plane. Devices begin in the inactive state. During the Miru Agent install process, devices briefly enter the activating state before transitioning to online. Once the Miru Agent has been provisioned on a device, the device remains online or offline for the remainder of its existence—devices don’t transition back to inactive or activating. The only exception to this is when a device is reprovisioned. During reprovisioning, devices briefly enter the activating state before transitioning back to online. To view a device’s status, hover over its name on the Devices page.

​

View a device

To view a device in Miru, navigate to the Devices page, click into the device you want to view, and switch to the Overview tab at the top. Metadata At the top of the page, you’ll find the device’s metadata, including its name, status, agent version, and more. Audit trail At the bottom of the page, you’ll find a complete audit trail of deployments made to the device.

​

Provision a device

To provision a device, visit the device provisioning documentation.

​

Edit a device

Navigate to the Devices page, click the ellipses (…) on the device you want to edit, and hit Edit. Update the desired fields, 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.

​

Delete a device

Deleting a device immediately invalidates its authentication session and removes all deployment and configuration history. This action is irreversible. Please proceed with caution. 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.
