Manage your IoT solution

This overview introduces the key concepts around the options to manage an Azure IoT solution. Each section includes links to content that provides further detail and guidance.

The following diagram shows a high-level view of the components in a typical IoT solution. This article focuses on the areas relevant to managing an IoT solution.

There are many options for managing your IoT solution including the Azure portal, PowerShell, and ARM templates. This article summarizes the main options.

To learn about securing your IoT solution, see Secure your IoT solution.

Monitoring

While there are tools specifically for monitoring devices in your IoT solution, you also need to be able to monitor the health of your IoT services:

Service Monitoring options
IoT Hub Use Azure Monitor to monitor your IoT hub
Check IoT Hub service and resource health
Device Provisioning Service (DPS) Use Azure Monitor to monitor your DPS instance
IoT Edge Use Azure Monitor to monitor your IoT Edge fleet
Monitor IoT Edge deployments
IoT Central Use audit logs to track activity in your IoT Central application
Use Azure Monitor to monitor your IoT Central application
Azure Digital Twins Use Azure Monitor to monitor Azure Digital Twins resources

To learn more about the Azure Monitor service, see Azure Monitor overview.

Azure portal

The Azure portal offers a consistent GUI environment for managing your Azure IoT services. For example, you can use the portal to:

Action Links
Deploy service instances in your Azure subscription Manage your IoT hubs
Set up DPS
Manage IoT Central applications
Set up an Azure Digital Twins instance
Configure services Create and delete routes and endpoints (IoT Hub)
Deploy IoT Edge modules
Configure file uploads (IoT Hub)
Manage device enrollments (DPS)
Manage allocation policies (DPS)

ARM templates and Bicep

To implement infrastructure as code for your Azure IoT solutions, use Azure Resource Manager templates (ARM templates). The template is a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) file that defines the infrastructure and configuration for your project. Bicep is a new language that offers the same capabilities as ARM templates but with a syntax that's easier to use.

For example, you can use ARM templates or Bicep to:

Action Links
Deploy service instances in your Azure subscription Create an IoT hub
Set up DPS
Manage services Create and delete routes and endpoints (IoT Hub)
Azure Resource Manager SDK samples (IoT Central)

For ARM templates and Bicep reference documentation, see:

PowerShell

Use PowerShell to automate the management of your IoT solution. For example, you can use PowerShell to:

Action Links
Deploy service instances in your Azure subscription Create an IoT hub using the New-AzIotHub cmdlet
Create an IoT Central application
Manage services Create and delete routes and endpoints (IoT Hub)
Manage an IoT Central application

For PowerShell reference documentation, see:

Azure CLI

Use the Azure CLI to automate the management of your IoT solution. For example, you can use the Azure CLI to:

Action Links
Deploy service instances in your Azure subscription Create an IoT hub using the Azure CLI
Create an IoT Central application
Set up an Azure Digital Twins instance
Set up DPS
Manage services Create and delete routes and endpoints (IoT Hub)
Deploy and monitor IoT Edge modules at scale
Manage an IoT Central application
Create an Azure Digital Twins graph

For Azure CLI reference documentation, see:

Azure DevOps tools

Use Azure DevOps tools to automate the management of your IoT solution. For example, you can use Azure DevOps tools to enable:
