Yes, using the Canary module. It uses the Views API in the background, so make sure the Ignition service account has the required access.

You just have to transform the Ignition tag path to a Canary format, i.e:  
`[CanaryProvider]Historian/Dataset/Path/To/Tag`  
where:

- CanaryProvider is the name of the provider as configured on the gateway
- Historian is the name of the historian as configured in the Views setup
- Dataset is the name of the dataset in the historian
- Path/To/Tag is the Ignition, excluding the tag provider
