Hello! We are trying to test out the store and forward capabilities of our edge devices in the field running ignition edge.  
The issue that I am coming across (possibly due to lack of experience) , is that the manuals reference using the main ignition historian or a SQL database, but our historian is located within OSI PI. We use an MQTT Broker that has a PI Connector that sends our Ignition Edge tags into PI.  
What are the parameters to get S&F to work properly? How do others test to see if it works how it should? our PLC's are on fiber so would I just turn off the MQTT connection between the Moxa and the broker in order to test S&F??  
I attached a simple network diagram.
