Hi,

I am confused about adding tags to Tag Browser from MQTT, but when I am trying to do it, I can't see any Tag Providers in Browse Devices..

What should it be? I have no qlue... first I thought it is in Security settings, but it didn't help me...

I never used MQTT.

Did you expand the Devices node?

I think you may be confused here. You don't "add tags" with MQTT - they just show up in the Tag Browser automatically. Select the MQTT provider to see them.

"Browse Devices..." is for browsing the built in OPC server (or another connected OPC server).

I know..)) I worked with MQTT tags a lot of times, but this time I have no idea why I can't see them in Browse Devices...

You wouldn’t see them, or any other tag providers, unless the Exposed Tags setting for the OPC server is enabled.

But you shouldn’t be accessing tags this way from the same gateway that is exposing them.

Make sure to restart after enabling the "Expose Tag Providers" setting.

Thank You! That worked!)  
Something just went wrong with Ignition OPC UA Server after IT guys made some changes to network, so after the restart I changed the endpoint of this OPC Connection...
