AWS IoT Device Management

AWS IoT Device Management now adds MQTT session data to the connectivity status API, allowing you to troubleshoot connectivity issues and audit connection patterns across your IoT device fleet.

This update brings the connectivity status API to full parity with AWS IoT Core's GetConnection API, providing detailed connection and MQTT session information for IoT devices by their thing name. You now have visibility into MQTT session timeout and session expiry values, along with optional socket level details such as source and destination IP addresses, ports, and client VPC endpoint ID. Access to socket information is controlled through granular IAM policies.

  • New Feature: MQTT session data in connectivity status API
  • Advantage: Indefinite data retention compared to 30 minutes for GetConnection API
  • Availability: All regions where AWS IoT Device Management is supported
