How to send request-response from mender server to device

Hi, i am wondering if there is a way how to send JSON data by http or anything from server to a specific device. i am guessing that can be done through deviceconnect service bud I didn’t find any topic about that. thanks in advance.

Hi @rabbyt,

There’s no, lets say “immediate” way to do it, other than creating an artifact which contains the JSON payload and deploying it to the specific device.
Depending on the exact use case, Configure AddOn might be suitable. Other than that, the next stage would be automating something around the Troubleshoot AddOn functionality, but that also is not exactly an elegant solution.

So in a nutshell: automating via custom Update Module and a deployment to the specific device is probably the way to go.
