Hi,  
I do see Nodes Offline and Nodes Online, Node Unit Count but I don’t see them changing values. I believe it is Related to the no of servers.  
I am not using Ignition Edge Transmission. I am using RedLion DA30 to send data from the field to Ignition Server.

Will the number of MQTT Clients connected, Online count and Offline count is available in a tag Under Edge Nodes?  
Thank you.

Yes, your node counts should be current if they actually connect, eg. as in this video

If they don't show up it's likely that there is a connection problem. That would take a minute  
to diagnose, eg. with wireshark.
