AWS IoT TwinMaker Introduction & Tutorial with SiteWise for data ingestion & Grafana for visualization - Workshop

[@joseviniciussantosdearaujo9185]

Beautiful presentation. What the software that you used to make the animations?

[@syedtousif2226]

Thank you, it was really a good information to create digital twins model in aws! Apart that, can we implement Supply chain management model in this digital twin? If yes , what are the needs?

[@ArchitectureBytes]

Supply Chain has many parts - Warehouses, Products, Inventory, Suppliers, Orders, Customers, Transport etc. Essentially it's Physical Objects and Processes. Lot of this can be represented as a digital twins alongside other visual representations.

[@prabhuraj9150]

Thank you. But for me the Motor Shader function is not working as you have showed here. Just following your script and model. Annotation is working for the same entity and parameter, but object color is not changing. Any idea what could have been changed?

[@ArchitectureBytes]

Pls ensure you have configured and used the 'Rule' correctly 13:11 and 14:52

[@shwethaaithala6920]

Thanks a lot for the video. Can you also explain how to deal with multiple assets? Suppose I have 2 assets and want to have 2 annotations in my scene, annotation1 will show data from asset1 and annotation2 will show data from asset2. And data for all assets comes back as part of the same Lambda function. How do I achieve this?

[@ArchitectureBytes]

Lambda function can send generated data to SiteWise (just like Simulator does in the Tutorial). In TwinMaker scene bind annotations to your respective entity/component/property 12:08

Great tutorial, it got me 90% of the way there, but I am having an issue with CORS. When I go to load the model in Grafana I receive "NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource." which is due to CORS not functioning properly. I believe that I have the bucket for the TwinMaker configured correctly with the domain of the managed Grafana but I can't load the models in Grafana.

[@ArchitectureBytes]

Please follow the CORS link in the updated Github repo readme file - to ensure CORS is setup correctly. Note the requirement of asterisk (*) character at the beginning of the "AllowedOrigins": JSON element.

I could't see the Twin datasource. I need grafana enterprise?

[@ArchitectureBytes]

No, you don't need Enterprise version for this. Login to Grafana workspace, choose Plugins menu on the left. Search for TwinMaker plugin and install. To do this, logged in Grafana Workspace user - should be 'admin' 17:45

Thanks for your video. Can you share information on the approximate costs associated with this exercise? I have an account for 12 months free use

[@ArchitectureBytes]

Hi... for pricing please check latest AWS documentation for these services - as the pricing is subject to change.

[@karthickramadoss4937]

Good explanation. Thanks a lot. As per you video , I complete all the configuration, I created new user in IAM center . However , In Grafana Dashboard , I can t able to view the new user in ,authentication Tab to map. . Can you provide your suggestions ?

[@ArchitectureBytes]

You need to create this user in 'IAM Identity Center' (and not as AWS IAM user). Please see 16:31 onwards.

[@karthickramadoss4937]

@@ArchitectureBytes I created the user in "IAM identity center " only but , I cant able to view the user in authentication tab. .Any Configuration change required ?

[@karthickramadoss4937]

Thanks for your reply.

[@ArchitectureBytes]

​ @karthickramadoss4937 While creating Grafana Workspace - ensure that you have chosen Authentication Method as: AWS IAM Identity Center. as shown at 15:47 - role is correct While Assigning user: Ensure that you are choosing the correct Grafana Workspace 17:34 Users are not filtered incorrectly in search bar 17:37

@@ArchitectureBytes i created user in IAM identity center called " test ". Now test user required following "AWSGrafanaAccountAdministrator " IAM policy ?

In the grafana pannel settings while uploading scene i got this error in the pannel ‘ v.useId is not a function’ please tell how to resolve this

[@ArchitectureBytes]

Are you using Amazon Managed Grafana? Can you pls provide timestamp in the video where you get this error?

[@ArchitectureBytes]

What's the Grafana version in your Grafana Workspace? In this demo we use version 9.4

[@karanramesh4760]

I am using amazon managed grafana 9.4

[@ArchitectureBytes]

The error may be coming from the TwinMaker Grafana Plugin (ReactJS?). Check Browser > Developer Console > see if there are any additional error messages. Log into Grafana Workspace > Administration > Plugins > Select TwinMaker Plugin > 'Update' if an update is available. Also, clear your browser cache, try using Chrome (although a wide range of browsers are supported) .
