DataAnalytics 1.0.2.1495: 

New Features:

  • ANR stability issues fixes
  • Log file upload ­ This feature allows uploading of DataAnalytics application log files to Analytic Cloud. File is compressed (gzip) before uploading. Please Note: File Upload setting should be enabled or set to true for this feature to work.
  • NV file rolling ­ When NV file size reaches a default set limit it will be compressed and stored in the configured path. User can able to configure no. of NV files to be rolled in the device and size of the NV file. Compressed file format will be: <Timestamp>_<GroupFileName>.gz
  • New metrics included in Common Tools DCA Below are the new metrics:
  1. BatteryUsageNumber
  2. BatteryUsageDecommissionThreshold
  3. BatteryHealthPercentage
  4. BatteryPercentDecommissionThreshold
  5. BatteryDecommission
  6. DataAnalyticsVersion
  7. DeviceModel
  8. DeviceSerial
  9. AndroidVersion
  10. BuildNumber
  • Config file clean up ­ Removed unused attributes in the config file so that engine requires less computation and config readability is increased.
  • Log file enahancement (Json format) ­ This feature enables DataAnalytics application log entries to be stored in Json format.
  • Clear All CSP DAE data ­ This feature enables user to delete data (files and folders) of DataAnalytics and AnalyticsMgr CSP. But application logs and compressed nv files placed on external sdcard (if sdcard available) or internal sdcard will not be deleted, user has to delete manually if they need. Implicit metrics and events's config also get cleared.
  • Individual Metrics and events for all existing DCA ­ Data Analytics Engine collects device data and uploads to cloud. DCA collection can be enable or disabled using StageNow Tool. User can enable either individual metrics or level based groups (Low, Medium, and High) based on level selected Engine will decide what metrics needs to collect.
  • Default config for WAN devices ­ The default config will contain the below listed metrics which will be enabled on WAN device immediately after booting from the box:
  1. BatteryLevel
  2. BatterySerial
  3. BatteryUsageNumber
  4. DataAnalyticsVersion
  5. DeviceModel
  6. DeviceSerial
  7. BuildNumber
  8. AndroidVersion
  9. AvailablePhysicalMemory
  10. AvailableStorageMemory
  11. WwanSignalQuality
  • Data and event throttling ­ DataAnalytics engine allows 3rd party applications to register as a DCA. Once 3rd party DCA is successfully configured and engine receives new configuration to enable 3rd party DCA metrics, engine will collect data for those DCA on interval specified in the configuration. It is necessary that engine has to monitor all DCAs data and events triggered from each DCA. This feature would enable engine to monitor all DCA data and events it uploads.
  • Commands for upload single and all log files ­ There are 2 types of commands to upload log files, they are Engine.UploadCurrentLogFile and Engine.UploadAllLogFiles. Engine.UploadCurrentLogFile command will allow uploading of log file that is currently being rolled (i.e. DataAnalytics.log.0 file) and Engine.UploadAllLogFiles command will allow uploading of all log files present in the log directory. Please Note: File Upload feature should be enabled or set to true for this feature to work.
  • Commands for DCA ­ DataAnalytics engine collects data from each DCA configured at regular intervals and uploads to cloud. Whenever engine receives new commands, engine will perform action based on intervals specified in the configuration. There are total 4 types of Analytics Commands, they are No Command, Engine.UploadCurrentLogFile, Engine.UploadAllLogFiles and Custom Command. Please Note: File Upload feature should be enabled or set to true for this feature to work.
  • Start DCA based on device capabilities ­ This feature allows each DCA to decide if service needs to start or not based on device capabilities. For example MC40 device does not have GPS and WWAN capabilities. If user configures with GPS and WWAN metrics, engine will try to start respective services. GPS and WWAN DCA's can return saying they are not capable to run by identifying the feature support. And then engine will not start those DCAs. Hence engine avoids running DCA services which are not needed.
  • MySecondDCA ­ We can create our own DCA (Data Collection Agent) to collect custom metrics from the device and upload to desired destination. DataAnalytics DCA Developer Kit contains essential resources that can guide the development process. Data collection for Level based metrics, individual metrics and events are all supported.

Ethernet on the 4­slot charging cradle is not supported in this release.
