When I deployed a thingsboard node and an edge, added a gateway connected to the edge, I wanted to manage remote configuration on thingsboard, but it's not working. I can only update configuration on the edge but not tb. However, telemetries are able to upload to tb. Is there any way to manage a gateway connected to an edge on the tb, that I can manage all the gateways connected to different edge?

Describe the issue There is need to change attributes and telemetry in the broker configuration based of customer needs. However a MQTT broker is hardcoded currently for sending a few standard data samples. It needs attention to customize the broker to allow data keys and values as per customer needs. A set of easy instructions like in other documentation is proposed. Configuration (Attach your configuration file) Notate: Remove Access token from file if you want to attach a tb_gateway.json Configuration file attached. mqtt configuration.txt Connector name (If you need help with some connector/converter): [e.g. MQTT Connector] "MQTT" Error traceback (If it was raised): Missing data as in additional information below. Versions (please complete the following information): OS: As in ThingsBoard Cloud Thingsboard IoT Gateway version: Latest as in ThingsBoard Cloud Python version: As in ThingsBoard Cloud Additional context We set up broker as per 'docker run -it -p 1884:1884 thingsboard/

Hi, We are currently using the offline gateway installer with Python 3.11. Is there an updated version available that supports Python 3.12?

Hi guys, In the dashboard, I want to press a button and read 25 Modbus attributes in the rule chain (from gateway). How can I do that? I have a bus with 25 controllers and I read a total of 30 parameters/device. Normally, I only need to monitor 2–3 parameters, but if there’s an error I need to set 10 and then confirm that they were written (I read them in Client Attributes). Thank you!
