Ignition broker sending NCMD request for my MQTT publisher (Eon node) even after sending NBIRTH.  
My NBIRTH metric is like following, please help me what I am missing, because ignition marking this node as STALE and keeps on requesting NCMD:  
{  
"timestamp": 1678375439000,  
"metrics": [  
{  
"name": "Node Control/Next Server",  
"timestamp": 1678375439000,  
"dataType": "Boolean",  
"value": false  
},  
{  
"name": "bdSeq",  
"timestamp": 1678375439000,  
"dataType": "Int64",  
"value": 0  
},  
{  
"name": "Node Control/Rebirth",  
"timestamp": 1678375439000,  
"dataType": "Boolean",  
"value": false  
},  
{  
"name": "IgnGrp/IgnEdg",  
"timestamp": 1678375439000,  
"dataType": "UInt8",  
"value": 519  
}  
],

Are there any errors from the MQTT Engine module in the gateway logs?

Also, the value for "IgnGrp/IgnEdg" metric is too large for the datatype specified.

Yes. Getting error like "Received DDATA for OFFLINE edge node that didn't send a birth".  
Though I am sending NBIRTH and DBIRTH both. I also see error like "Edge Node IgnGrp/IgnEdg is offline but we got a DBIRTH from device.

I will check the datatype thing.
