Optional MQTT client ID to use. If specified this will be used in the MQTT Transmission connect packet when connecting to the server. If left blank, a random client ID will be create of the form 'MT-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx'.
Warning |
---|
Caution: MQTT Clients IDs must be unique and if two clients attempt to connect with the same client ID, one will be forcefully disconnected from the server to allow the other client to connect. |

If the server does not receive, at minimum, a PINGREQ message from a client within 1.5 times the Keep Alive, it will terminate the connection and send the client's LWT if it has been defined.
For MQTT Transmission, this is an DEATH message.

Available in MQTT Transmission 4.0.16 and newer |
When enabled and alarms are enabled on tags, the contents of the triggered alarms will be transmitted via Sparkplug to MQTT Engine and will be inserted into the Ignition Alarm Journal on the server where MQTT Engine is installed.
Note |
---|
This is not full alarm support as the ability to clear or ack an alarm from MQTT Engine is not currently supported |

To use this feature you must add a line similar to the following to the data/ignition.conf file but replace the 'XX' with the proper index per the wrapper.java.additional statements: |

To publish records, MQTT Transmission uses a configured Transmitter. The properties entered into the Sparkplug settings for Group ID, Edge ID and Device ID (optional) must match an existing Sparkplug Edge Node based on a Transmitter and tag tree configuration. |

The "History" page allows for the configuration of MQTT Transmission History Stores.
When a Transmitter is configured to use an MQTT Transmission History Store, data is written to the History Store once MQTT Transmission has determined that there is a connection failure. Once a connection with an MQTT server is re-established the History Store will publish the stored messages with a flag set to indicate that the messages are "historical" to prevent confusion with live data values. Determination of a connection failure can be up to 1.5 times the configured keep alive. and, as such, any data published during this time can be lost.
From release 4.0.17, in order to cover data loss during a keep alive timeout scenario, the MQTT Transmission History Store includes a Rolling History Buffer that can be configured in the Advanced Properties configuration section. When the Rolling History Buffer is enabled, all tag changes will be written to the History Store regardless of connection status.
The History tab contains a Main section and an Advanced section.

title | Large Tag Capacities |
---|
If using a large tag capacity it is highly recommended to test the system under load in a non-production environment on similar hardware and software that will be used in production. During testing is also important to get the system into a state where the store and forward cache becomes full before beginning to flush. This will ensure that the system is sized appropriately when deployed into a production environment. There are a number of factors involved in determining how large the tag capacity can be including but not limited to system resources such as CPU, RAM (especially when using 'In-Memory'), Disk IOPS (if using 'Disk-Backed'), the nominal tag change rate (e.g. number of tags changing per second in the system), the flush rate, bandwidth availability, whether flushing in order vs asynchronously, etc. Because of the complex interactions of these variables it is highly recommended to test in a controlled environment. Generally any capacity over 2,000,000 is considered large and should be tested before deploying to production.
