Explanation
The title names the two main themes of the changeset: the sign-in and large-site import fixes, and the new UPS, PDU and environmental dashboards. The raw summary confirms both themes appear across the files: configValidation, metadata.json, sensor import changes, and new dashboard JSON files. The title is long at 99 characters and 15 words, but it is specific and accurate. It omits the new history streams and the 24-hour alarm cap, which is acceptable because the title does not need to cover every detail.

Explanation
The description follows the author's own template structure. It includes Summary, Plugin details, Testing, Breaking changes, Documentation, and Checklist sections. It gives a detailed account of the sign-in fix, the large-installation changes, the new dashboards, smaller fixes, and test results. It also lists breaking behaviour changes for 1.0.1 to 1.0.2 and includes screenshots. The repository's template index points to three PR templates, and the description covers the 'Change to an existing plugin' structure. The description is largely complete. Minor gaps remain: the Related issue links to
#136while the PR is#157, and the Testing section states the Sensor dashboard and Import sensors path were not tested.

before requesting history. Preserve each history response’s nextPageUrl as the
paging context for subsequent history requests instead of replacing it with the
initial historyUrl.

Review comments at @plugins/EcoStruxureIT-DCE/v1/docs/README.md:
- Around line 32-36: Update the Debug troubleshooting guidance in the README so
the token URL is not retained with the DCE password: prefer redacting the URL in
Debug output, or document how to restrict access to and securely delete the
diagnostic log after troubleshooting.
- Line 52: Update the README documentation around the curl.exe token-request
diagnostic to explain that -k disables server certificate verification and
supports self-signed certificates; recommend replacing it with --cacert and a
certificate file when a trusted certificate is available.

📋 Summary
This PR fixes the EcoStruxure IT Data Center Expert plugin failing to sign in and failing to import on large sites, and makes its data useful on those sites by reading sensor readings on demand. It also adds dashboards for UPS, rack PDU and environmental monitor devices. These came out of testing against a customer's live DCE server (559 devices, about 31,000 sensors).
Sign-in and setup
DCE rejected the placeholder OAuth client ID the plugin sent with the password grant (
invalid_client). When no client ID is set, the plugin now sends no client at all. The server URL is also more forgiving: anything pasted after/isxg(such as the API docs page) is ignored. The setup checks now say which step failed and link to a new Troubleshooting section in the README.Large installations
Reading every sensor takes DCE 17 to 31 seconds and returns about 7 MB on this site, longer than SquaredUp allows. So the sensors import step is now optional and behind a new Import sensors setting, off by default. Device dashboards read their own sensors instead, which takes DCE about 0.1 seconds per device. Two new streams, Environmental History and Device Sensor History, chart a device's sensors in two quick calls without needing Sensor objects.
Alarm History across all devices is now capped at the last 24 hours, because a week of resolved alarms on this site is far more than one response can hold. A single device's history uses its own endpoint and covers any timeframe.
Dashboards
I rebuilt the dashboards with SmartViz:
Status badges and blocks use DCE's own wording and severity colours. The plugin never overrides DCE's severity.
Smaller fixes
locale=en_US). The dashboards depend on this: they match some sensors by name, and the temperature bands assume °F.🖼️ Screenshots
These are from the customer's live data source. I replaced device names, locations, addresses, serial numbers and group names with made-up values, so the counts and charts are real but the names aren't. They're also in the plugin's new
screenshotsfolder, whichmetadata.jsonnow lists.Data Center Overview

🧩 Plugin details
🧪 Testing
I tested against a customer's on-premises DCE server through a SquaredUp relay agent, with the customer checking each dashboard in their SquaredUp organization. Setup passes, and the import completes with devices and device groups (sensors off). The Overview, Device, Device Group, UPS, Rack PDU and Environmental dashboards all load with live data.
I also ran individual streams against their data source with
squaredup test. That's how I checked the timings above, the 24-hour alarm cap, and that group alarms match the Alarm Summary counts. It's also how I checked that the UPS and PDU tiles find their sensors across the models they have: Smart-UPS 1000, 1500, 3000 XL and SRT 5000; PDUs AP7900B, AP7968B, AP7863, AP8965 and AP8841.squaredup validatepasses, and the SmartViz chart specs pass the platform's visualization validator.The Sensor dashboard and the Import sensors path weren't tested against live data. This customer has too many sensors for an import, so it stays off for them.
Does this PR introduce any breaking changes?
No one is using this plugin yet, so nothing in use breaks. For the record, three behaviours changed since 1.0.1:
sensorNamecolumn is gone from Active Alarms and Alarm History, because it failed whenever a sensor wasn't imported.📚 Documentation
