You can detail this two features please:

Remote Service Editing
Generic Service Viewing

[VladimirRosu]

Adding that editing and creating Users, User Groups and Organizations are supported only in the Legacy Composer at this time (v 8.0.0).

Chris C. updated this to reflect.

[cbaldwin]

Remote Service "editing" allows you to create a service which represents a service in your Remote Edge service implementation to execute within Composer.  You can specify the same name and arguments as your remote edge service.

Generic service viewing let's you see the services on the Generic Thing template.  An example would be GetPropertyValues service, you can now open to view the inputs, outputs, documentation.  You cannot see the implementation however.

Ok thanks, "Remote Service Editing" was too good to be true Imagine an Edge Agend which has Javascript embedded and you can program it from the platform...

[VladimirRosu]

Is the Monitoring section from the Old Composer planned to be integrated in the Next Gen Composer?

Thanks,

[cbaldwin]

Hi Vlad,

From our engineering team:

For the 8.3 release of Next-Gen Composer in 2018, System Monitoring will be fully exposed within Next-Gen Composer.  Some of the monitors will be re-skinned versions of the existing monitors whereas others will be re-engineered.

We'll have more details as we near release.
