Hello,  
I have an Ignition Edge 8.1.42 where it is required to provide data from a Datalogger device that generates data in .csv files in which the received data is as follows:  
Id, value, timestamp  
Id, value, timestamp  
Is there any possibility to perform the ingestion of this data in Ignition Edge?

You will have to write a script to read that file regularly, and parse new values into memory tags.

There is some sample code in this thread to get you started, note it is an older thread so there may be some more efficient methods now;

(I’m unsure how to do this)

Instead of DB insert, because of Edge, use system.tag.writeBlocking()

Does it work with system.tag.queryTagHistory() in Edge?

Sorry, I meant to say system.tag.storeTagHistory

If you want to store it in the internal historian, for use in e.g. an easy chart, then yes.

However, note the limitation of Edge of 35 days history.

know that limitation, that's why I was asking if it would work. In this case, the data received would be from 1 day or at most 2 days.

I hope it works
