I have over 100 Ignition Edge v8.1.37 that i need to make configuration changes to the MQTT Transmission Settings - the changes will be the same on all of the devices but i want to keep the site-specific configuration as is.
I need to add a new MQTT Transmission Set, new Servers and new SparkplugB transmitter to many different Edge nodes. I would like to know if there is any automated way that i can make these updates?
I would like to avoid having to make the same changes manually over 100 times on all of the ignition edge devices. Please let me know if there are any capabilities to automate configuration changes like this.
It is theoretical possible to script updates to configuration entries in the internal config database, but you will likely need guidance from Cirrus Link on precisely how to change those values.
The script would need to run directly in the Edge node, so you will also need to set up a message handler for those nodes that can run this script. (Presumably deploying the updated project to the Edge node via EAM.) This hurdle may make the task untenable--editing 100 sites via gateway web interface may be quicker. (Though a single SQL statement for the internal DB might be conveniently run via the hidden gateway config console.)
You really should have Cirrus Link help you get this right.
