  • In the case where a large number devices are connected through a device service, and the device service is restarted, the maximum HTTP request size (for Go Lang applications this is 10MB) may be exceeded when the device service restarts and makes call to Core Metadata for all relevant devices and device profile information. This issue is being addressed in the V2 API to be released with Ireland release (spring 2021).  Although it requires some custom coding, there are workarounds to this issue.  Connect with the EdgeX community via Slack (https://edgexfoundry.slack.com/archives/CE44YG81E) if you need assistance if this issue is applicable to your use case.
