Trend Edge tags on central Ignition gateway

[damien.tiede]

Hi Ignition Experts,
I have a requirement to trend Edge gateway tags (historical and real time) on a central Ignition gateway.
I tried setting up Edge Sync services, but discovered that this only writes historical Edge tag data that is expiring from the 7 day window on the Edge gateway.
Is there a way to achieve my goals using Edge Sync services, or do I need to pursue another strategy ?

Thanks,
Damien

Some good info on the topic:

Ignition Edge data logging to Ignition

Disclaimer: we haven’t done anything with Ignition Edge in production yet. But you should probably check out the difference between “Edge Panel” and “Edge Enterprise”. See https://inductiveautomation.com/whats-new-ignition-edge On “Edge Enterprise”, the edge device connects with a regular gateway, and can sync data using the store-and-forward as usual in Ignition. So it doesn’t act as a plain OPC server, but is tightly integrated.

Please, Can you help me Edge Sync Services with SQL server

You need to make a gateway network connection to your other gateway (Configure -> Connections -> Gateway Network) - that’s where you will enter the remote gateway’s IP. Once you’ve done that, you’ll enter that gateway’s name (not it’s IP address) in the Remote Gateway Name field. You will likely also need to configure ‘Service Security’ on the remote gateway to allow the edge gateway to store history using its history provider. https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/Gateway+Network…
