How to setup Tag History in a Gateway centric module?

Module Development
1

I am looking at developing my own OEE system for autonomous vehicles.

I have come up with a tag architecture for my module, but would like to store historical data on these tags. Is this something I can configure automatically upon startup of my module… or is it something I would have to do manually through the Ignition gateway settings webpage?

I was trying to find some detailed Tag history examples using the SDK, but I failed.

If you’re using the ManagedTagProvider and would like tags you generate to store history you’ll need to add the historian dependencies to your maven project.

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.inductiveautomation.ignition</groupId>
        <artifactId>tag-historian</artifactId>
        <version>4.1.0</version>
        <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>

Then you can configure historical properties on your tag like this:

    BasicBoundPropertySet props = new BasicBoundPropertySet();
    props.set(WellKnownTagProps.HistoryProvider, "HistorianProvider");
    props.set(TagHistoryProps.HistorySampleRate, 1000);
    provider.configureTag(tagPath, props);

Thanks for the info Cody. I will try it out!
