Best Practices

Pagination Strategy:Management:

    Always use limit and offset parameters when dealing withfor large device inventories. Start with reasonable page sizes (50-100 devices) and implement proper pagination logicinventories to avoid timeouts andDefault memorypage issues.sizes should be kept reasonable (25-100 devices) for optimal performance

    Status Updates:

      Use the update_status=true parameter judiciously,sparingly in production, as it may increase response times but ensures you gettriggers real-time device status.communication ForCache dashboards,status considerinformation cachingwhen strategiespossible and onlyuse refreshperiodic statusupdates whenrather needed.than per-request updates

      Error Handling:

        Security Considerations:

        PerformanceRemote Optimization:Operations:

        • UseRemote specificoperations filters(reboot, ratherfactory thanreset, retrievingsync) allare asynchronous - monitor device status to confirm completion
        Allow adequate time between remote operations to prevent device overload Always test remote operations on non-production devices and filtering locally Implement proper caching for device type and location reference data Batch operations where possible rather than making individual API calls Use partial updates (PATCH) instead of full updates (PUT) when changing few fieldsfirst

        Operational Safety:

          Always verify device serial numbers before performing destructive operations Implement confirmation workflows for operations like factory resets or device deletion Use the debug: true flag during troubleshooting, but remember to disable it afterward Monitor the pending_settings field to track ongoing operations and avoid conflicts
