Configuring Data Push Settings
You can push the sensor data to a remote server for data synchronization. The data will be sent in JSON format using
HTTP POST requests. You need to set up the destination and authentication for data push on the PDU.
After configuring the destination and authentication settings, do either or both of the following:
•
To perform the data push after the occurrence of a certain event, create the data push action and assign it to an event
