Hi to All,

I have a request from customers to upload images to Azure blob. I am using the “upload” component in perspective. Does anybody have experience using Azure blob with Perspective? Is that at all possible?

Thanks!

I don’t have any Azure experience, but I would expect it to have a web API for such things. Your upload event script in Perspective would use system.net.httpClient to pass the file on to Azure. Details depending on Azure’s API, of course.

You’d probably want to make a local database entry with the locator information Azure’s API gives you so you can retrieve/list the images later.

Thank you, Phil.

I also think so.

Hello,

I have been trying to do something similar but am having trouble getting Ignition’s HTTP library to successfully PUT a blob into storage. Were you able to successfully do this Maja? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

You could try something using SSH File transfer protocol. I haven't done it myself but i was looing at some similar integrations. This could work.

The python standard FTPlib is included with our bundled Jython:
