Simplified Operations
Mist Edge has a New Home
We have moved Mist Edges from the Organization and Site submenus to the main navigation on the left. We have also combined the Mist Edge Inventory, Mist Edge Clusters, and Mist Tunnels into a single page.
Note: The Mist Edge tab is visible only to the customers who have an active Mist Edge subscription.
The following table lists the changes in the navigation:
| Previous Navigation | New Navigation | |
| Mist Edge Page | Organization > Mist Edges
|
Mist Edges
(Available as a main menu item) |
| Mist Tunnels | Organization > Mist Tunnels | |
| Site Edges | Site > Mist Edges | |
| Site Mist Edge Configuration | Organization > Site Configuration | No change. |
Here is the updated Mist Edge page which is accessed from the left-hand navigation. Mist Edges, Clusters, and Tunnels are consolidated into a single page.
Site level configuration remains unchanged in the site settings for when Mist Edges are assigned to a specific site (site edge).
Support for CenTrak on Mist APs
Mist can now send CenTrak tag data to Centrak servers via webhooks. When enabled, Mist APs listen for CenTrak tags and the Mist Cloud relays the tag data, including calculated x,y location coordinates to the CenTrak servers in real-time over webhooks. CenTrak provides asset tracking and management solutions for healthcare providers. AP Firmware 0.10.24287 or newer is required.
CenTrak listening can be enabled at an individual AP level, or in bulk using Device Profiles.
To receive CenTrak data, configure a site level “Location Coordinates” webhook
Example CenTrak data sent via webhook. CenTrak data is included in the wifi_beacon_extended_info, in addition to x,y coordinates

In the April 20th 2023 product updates, we mentioned a minimum AP firmware requirement to view “Bytes” on certain pages. This change has been moved to our next production push the week of May 15th.
