The Meshlium Manager System provides several plugins in order to transmit the received data to an external Cloud system. The data received in Meshlium from the nodes of the network is stored in the internal database. Thus, the data is synchronized to an external server thanks the "Cloud Connector" process dedicated to this task.
Meshlium runs a set of scripts for implementing the data synchronization from its internal database "to the cloud". In other words, those scripts send data to web servers where the cloud service providers host their clouds. Those scripts are called Cloud Connector.
All Cloud Connectors can be found in the "Cloud Connector" tab in the Meshlium Manager System. The user must select their own Cloud Connector and enter the credentials for initializing the process that will take care of the database synchronization. For more information, please refer to the "Cloud Connectors" section in the Meshlium technical guide.
Since Meshlium Manager System v4.0.9, HTTPS is the default method for sending data. HTTPS is the recommended technology because it provides many cyber security services.
For HTTPS, the user must keep in mind that the Meshlium's certificate has to be installed on the Waspmote or Plug & Sense! radio prior to opening secure connections. The next picture shows how the user can download the Meshlium's certificate from Manager System → System → Users Manager → Download Certificate:
Then, the certificate can be opened and copied from a normal text editor in order to paste the contents of the certificate into the PCS form. So when the PCS user selects some protocol which sends data to Meshlium via HTTPS, it is mandatory to insert the corresponding Meshlium's certificate as it is shown in the next image.
Since Meshlium Manager System v4.0.9, HTTPS is the default method in order to send data. HTTPS is the recommended technology because it provides many cyber security services. Therefore, the HTTPS service is always enabled on Meshlium.
However, Meshlium Manager System v4.1.0 and greater versions allow the user to enable the HTTP service in order to be able to receive HTTP non-secure requests. The user must go to Manager System → System → Security → HTTP Service:
