Hello,

Is there a way to access the details of a device connection in Ignition (especially the buffers / the overflow) ?  
The data are shown on the Gateway Page : Status \> Devices \> Details (on a device). I would like to get those information (using System tags for instance) and display them in a View/Window.  
Best regards.

If you browse tags on the OPC client or just look under the OPC quick client and drill down to a device and the diagnostics folder, there's a lot of additional information there that you can get about the device. Hopefully what you're looking for is in a tag there.

For Example:
