It's rock solid, highly secured and the world's most powerful Python server. You can run state of the art ML algorithms like Tensor flow on Django. This makes Ignition as "ML powered SCADA". I am NOT sure if you paid attention to this link. 2 wonderful solutions are available.

Simple and efficient way could be also using pure Tcp connection, and some binary protocol. import SocketServer import time class MyTCPHandler(SocketServer.BaseRequestHandler): def handle(self): self.data = self.request.recv(1024).strip() print self.data #read data from connection, parameters f.ex. #and here alarm data could be read and sent to active connection self.request.send(self.data.upper()) time.sleep(2) #connection is closed after sending data b… --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/is-there-a-way-to-consume-mqtt-json-payload-in-ignition-without-cirrus-link-driver/18280)._
