Hi,

while I try Fleet Indexing, I found I always get a response of connected:false while the device is connected to the Iot core and publish message to iot core, anyone has faced this, thank you.

aws iot describe-index --index-name "AWS_Things"
{
    "indexName": "AWS_Things",
    "indexStatus": "ACTIVE",
    "schema": "REGISTRY_AND_SHADOW_AND_CONNECTIVITY_STATUS"
}

aws iot search-index --index-name "AWS_Things" --query-string "pm"
{
    "things": [
        {
            "thingName": "pm",
            "thingId": "{thingId}",
            "thingTypeName": "demo-iot",
            "thingGroupNames": [
                "test_group"
            ],
            "shadow": "{\"metadata\":{},\"version\":1}",
            "connectivity": {
                "connected": false
            }
        }
    ]
}

Accepted Answer

If your client is using a different client ID from Thing Name when connecting to AWS IoT, the connectivity status of your "thing" will not be indexed by Fleet Indexing.
