How do i pull the tags from my Edge server to my Main Ignition server.  
I had to install an ignition edge server onsite locally as it is on a wireless internet connection a was having issues communicating to one PLC with 20000 tags and about to double that soon.  
I can push the main server tags to the edge server but can’t see a way to do the reverse.  
I can’t do it via OPC-UA as an Edge server only allows to bind locally and has no option to set the bind address.

Another easy option is **Ignition Edge Sync Services.** (Need license for this)

"Ignition Edge Sync Services acts as a limited remote server that synchronizes data from the edge of the network to a central Ignition server."  
Please refer : [Edge Sync Services - Ignition User Manual 8.0 - Ignition Documentation](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/Edge+Sync+Services)

Have you tried configuring a remote tag provider on the main server pointing at your edge gateway?
