# hawkBit Device Simulator

The device simulator handles software update commands from the update server.

## Run
```
java -jar examples/hawkbit-device-simulator/target/hawkbit-device-simulator-*-SNAPSHOT.jar
```
Or:
```
run org.eclipse.hawkbit.simulator.DeviceSimulator
```

## Notes

The simulator has user authentication enabled by default. Default credentials:
*  username : admin
*  passwd : admin

This can be configured/disabled by spring boot properties

## Usage
The device simulator exposes an REST-API which can be used to trigger device creation.

Optional parameters:
* name : name prefix simulated devices (default: "dmfSimulated"), followed by counter
* amount : number of simulated devices (default: 20, capped at: 4000)
* tenant : in a multi-tenenat ready hawkBit installation (default: "DEFAULT")


Example: for 20 simulated devices (default)
```
http://localhost:8083/start
```

Example: for 10 simulated devices that start with the name prefix "activeSim": 
```
http://localhost:8083/start?amount=10&name=activeSim
```
