AWS IoT Device Management adds MQTT session data to connectivity status API, enabling you to troubleshoot connectivity issues and audit connection patterns across your Internet of things (IoT) device fleet. This launch brings AWS IoT Device Management's existing connectivity status API to full parity with AWS IoT Core's recently launched GetConnection API , enabling you to retrieve detailed connection and MQTT session information for the IoT device by its thing name. In addition to the connection status, timestamp, and disconnect reason already available, you now get visibility into MQTT sessi
