Why are there no Device Diagnostic Tags for devices implemented with the DNP3 Driver?

Why are there no Device Diagnostic Tags for devices implemented with the DNP3 Driver?...

Instead there are some Internal Indicators tags, but none of that provides the basic device connection health details that the OPC UA Drivers section of the manual suggest should be available for all the Ignition drivers.

Some device connection health info is available under the Gateway System Tags devices folder (missing hostname or IP address) but I remain curious why that connection detail is not consistently available as Device Diagnostic Tags for all device drivers.

Ideally I'd like to have at least the hostname (or IP address) and boolean Connection state (isConnected) for all configured devices available as diagnostic tags under each device in the OPC browser (like what exists for the Modbus TCP driver).

Ignition v8.1.22

Hmm, seems like an omission, it should at least have the basic Connected, Hostname, etc… tags.

It won’t ever have the “Sampling” tags because it’s not supposed to be polling/sampling-based like more traditional drivers (even if it does act that way in some ways right now…).
