• the product is not well tested. Only the happy path cases vere briefly tried out and found working under ideal conditions.
• the product UI is not finished and not user-friendly, lacking any documentation or help.

The technological preview phases serves a few purposes:

• Show product that is in development to limited audience.
• Gather feedback regarding market usability.
• Confirm further development priorities.
• Open space for discussion with interested parties.

Some basic instructions for products in technological preview phase follows:

MAMAS Technological Preview/early beta

MAMAS is a

• Monitoring
• Alerting
• Management
• Automation
• System

Please note following before exploring MAMAS Technological Preview+beta1

• MAMAS supports Advantech v2 and v3 routers at the moment. You should have reasonably recent firmware. The oldest tested was 6.1.10
• The UM could be downloads through admin->device agents. Check the URL is matching your installation.
• (beta1 only) The UM webUI in the router allows for restarting agent, MAMAS server URL change and displays logs. You can run the agent from shell (/opt/amamas/bin/mamas_agent.sh) if needed and inspect/change configuration (/opt/amamas/settings.ini and /opt/amamas/server.ini) by hand.
• The agent registers on the server during first contact and sends real data only in second contact (by default roughly 5 minutes after first one). Till that time, device is listed as Arriving device
• If you want to see the alerts on your Slack client, you need to create your Slac channel and paste the connection information (Slack token and channel name) under admin->settings.

Key elements shown in the MAMAS Tech. Preview

• Routers (and to a limited extend also Linux boxes) reporting to mngmt. server. Reported data are visible on the details page.
• Monitoring groups (each mon. group gathers the same data as the 'all' group that is shown on the dashboard).
• Alerting - alerts can be set on individual devices or a number of devices in a group. Alerts are delivered via Slack.
• Firmware management - every router FW detected on any device is automatically downloaded. Admin can approve (or disprove) FW version for device settings and set FW version preferred for individual devices. NOTE that the agent FW upgrade is disabled on the device at the moment.
• (beta1 only) You can add a new FW for download to be used to flash to routers once available and approved.
• Configuration cloning - one device can be set to clone configuration of another device. All customized configuration values (changes done on top of the FW defaults) from the master device will be copied to the tracking device. NOTE that FW version is not counted among configuration values.
• License management - your instance has 30 devices limit at the moment. Please do not reach this limit as once you do, the system starts misbehaving from user point of view. 29 devices are perfectly safe.

Please follow to your MAMAS TP instance (NOTE: each instance has different credentials: choose the instance you were given credentials to)

• Blue instance
• Red instance
• Green instance
