ChirpStack Application Server v3.8.0-test.1

Features

New error events

This release provide new error events for OTAA errors, frame-counter resets and re-transactions / replay-attacks (requires ChirpStack Network Server v3.7+). It also adds new error events when the gateway reports an error on downlink scheduling (e.g. collision, invalid frequency, …).

Downlink tx ack event

This publishes an acknowledgement when an item from the queue has been sent to the gateway for transmission and was accepted by the gateway.

myDevices integration

This new integration makes it possible to forward payload events to myDevices Cayenne and IoT in a Box.

Syslog logger

This adds a configuration option log_to_syslog. When enabled, log items will be forwarded to syslog.

  • Add API option to fetch device queue size only.
  • Add device profile to device list in web-interface.
  • Enable DNS round-robin load-balancing for gRPC client (to NS).
  • Add uplink IDs used for gelocation to geolocation event. (#413)
  • Internal cleanup of unused device_activation table and code.

Bugfixes

  • Fix LoRaWAN 1.1 OTAA bug (and update tests). (#382)

  • Fix assigning service profile to application (validate they share the same organization).
