Dashboard Setup ​

After onboarding, you manage your edge gateway through the Dashboard. This page covers the key tasks after your gateway is connected.

After onboarding completes, you'll be redirected to your project's logic configuration page. To find your gateway later:

  1. Select your tenant and project from the navigation
  2. Go to Project → Edge Gateways to see all connected gateways

Logic Configuration ​

The logic configuration editor lets you:

  • Deploy logic block libraries — select and install libraries on the gateway
  • Create logic block instances — instantiate blocks from deployed libraries
  • Wire contracts — connect logic block contracts to service provider implementations
  • Link interfaces — connect logic block interfaces to enable inter-block communication
  • Configure properties — set initial values for configurable properties

Changes to the logic configuration are pushed to the gateway in real time.

Monitoring Gateway Status ​

The Dashboard shows the current status of each gateway:

  • Connection state — online / offline
  • Deployed software — versions of all deployed components
  • Service providers — registered hardware interfaces
  • Logic block status — running instances and their health

Software Updates ​

Updates are deployed from the platform level over the air — no manual SSH access is required after initial onboarding. Two update lanes run independently:

  • OS and firmware updates replace the full root filesystem through Mender's A/B partition swap, with automatic rollback if the new system fails to boot. These are infrequent, roughly one or two per year.
  • Application updates deliver the Dale runtime, Mesh, and related services as docker-compose artifacts, deployed per device by VION Cloud. These are more frequent, roughly monthly.

Both lanes flow through Mender but serve different purposes: the OS lane swaps the whole rootfs, while the application lane updates the containers on the data partition without touching the OS.

The device is identified by a stable identifier derived from its hardware, so it keeps the same identity across reflashes and OS updates. During onboarding you can watch each commissioning stage; the onboarding commissioning status table lists what each stage means.
