Hi,

I’m logging data into a local MySQL database using transaction groups and wondering how to mirror it onto a remote server. I wanted to know if there is a built-in option for this in the ignition gateway or do I have to do it myself? Do I have to duplicate all my transaction groups, one for the local database, the other for the remote server?

I appreciate any help you can provide.

Either duplicating your transaction groups, or using MySql data replication:

[https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/replication.html](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/replication.html)

Ignition doesn’t have such a feature built-in.

Thank you, I will check that.
