Kindling - a collection of tools to help with Ignition

@Porter_Ellis is trying to shorten the trial expiration time, to test what a custom module does on trial expiration. I'm not a lawyer, this is not legal advice, but that's not circumventing the two hour trial timer.

Having something that automatically reset the trial timer, sure, that's a violation of the EULA both in spirit and in technicality. But also, if you have to restart the whole gateway to do it...meh. It's always been programmatically possible to reset the trial, even without restarting the gateway. I've said it before and I'll say it again: the kind of folks who are going to do that aren't going to be good customers anyways.

By definition they seem to not be paying customers lol. Unrelated but I did want to come back to this thread to say thanks for this tool, it has saved me a ton in the past few months. I am glad to see you keeping it updated and alive.

Any info on this?

No, not yet. Kindling is a 'spare time' project for me, so I haven't gotten a chance to recreate the issue.

You want to share? :laughing:

On my personal Windows (11) machine, running Kindling out of the IDE or directly installed, the 'Export Zip' functionality works fine for me. By default, it tries to open a file picker in your Downloads directory - maybe something in your environment is preventing that from working due to security restrictions? Can you try excluding Kindling from any AV or similar software temporarily?

Is there a gateway tag browser? if I load the gateway back up I can look though the available tags and structure?

No and yes.

No, there isn't a tag browser but you get access to the tags/valueStore.idb - so technically you can see the tags and structure.

This works for 8.1 thanks to some heroic work by our support apps team. It doesn't yet work for 8.3 tag exports, because it's basically the same amount of effort again.

And I'm not doing it myself because I don't want to touch it with a ten foot pole :smiley:

In the quarantine data cache viewer, I'm having trouble correlating the bottom section and the top section.

Is the large number at the bottom supposed to correlate with the Id?

I tried to unselect ALL and just examine one at a time but i was surprised it didn't show anything in the upper table section.

eg:

It's a bit confusing, because of the way legacy S+F data is modeled, but if I remember right it's basically two distinct things.

The top area (the table where you select things) is one of the tables in the S+F DB.
The bottom area is a different table that records just particular 'errors' within the S+F DB. And confusingly, making row selections in either one updates the preview pane on the right hand side, but they are independent of one another.
