HowTo
1

I have created file under aikaan installation directory with content shown below

$cat /opt/aikaan/bin/support/inventory/mender-inventory-myattr
#!/bin/sh
raven_version=ACC1120_001.06.01

But these attributes are not appearing in the tags of device info page . I cloud see only the below tags. In which “customer” is manually added tag from Aikaan webpage and other two were defaults tags

How to make the attributes under mender-inventory-myattr to appear on cloud ?

Hi ,

can you make sure the file /opt/aikaan/bin/support/inventory/mender-inventory-myattr has executable permission. I suspect this is the issue.

I have verified on my devices, look below

a. The file path, name and permission

root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# ls -l /opt/aikaan/bin/support/inventory/mender-inventory-myAttr.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 34 Jun 5 16:18 /opt/aikaan/bin/support/inventory/mender-inventory-myAttr.sh
root@raspberrypi:/home/pi#

The file content

root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# cat /opt/aikaan/bin/support/inventory/mender-inventory-myAttr.sh

#!/bin/bash
echo “device_temp=33”
root@raspberrypi:/home/pi#

The attribute seen on controller

Hai @chetansk

Thanks for the example script. The script was executable , but the content of the file was not containing the echo commands. as shown below

#!/bin/bash
device_temp=33
root@raspberrypi:/home/pi#

After updating the script now it is appearing on the cloud

Good this is working… Also I did not realise that echo was missing in your script.

Thanks
