- Client ID
- Keep Alive
- The maximum interval in seconds (5-65,535) between any two MQTT protocol control packets sent by the client to the server.
- The minimum Keep Alive for MQTT Transmission is 5.
- If the client is idle and has no control packets to send, it will send PINGREQ protocol packet and the server is required to respond with a PINGRESP packet. If no response is received from the server within 1.5 times the Keep Alive, the client will close the connection.
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.
- Random Startup Delay
- The Random Startup Delay in milliseconds of the form 'min-max' where min is the low end and max is the high end of the random range. e.g. '10-1000'.
- Reconnect Delay
- The clients reconnect delay in millisecond.
- Subscribe to Legacy STATE Topic
- Data Format Type
- The format of the data to send. Default is Sparkplug_B_v1_0_Protobuf with JSON as an option.

From version 4.0.19 added support for digital signatures/hashing of Records that are generated by MQTT Transmission so that they can be verified in the MQTT Recorder database. |

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.
Note |
---|
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. |

From release 4.0.19, major improvements have been made to the disk-backed History Store. Details on configuring pre 4.0.19 modules can be found here. |

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. Review Determining the settings for an MQTT Transmission History Store |

- Edge Node Tag Capacity
- Maximum number of Edge Node level tag change events to store per Edge Node before dropping oldest historical Edge Node tag change events. This value is independent of the 'Device Tag Capacity' and only applies to how many 'Edge Node level' tag change events are stored per Edge Node.
- A tag change event is triggered by either a change in value or quality and results in the tag's Qualified Value (which has three attributes of value, quality and timestamp) being stored.
- Device Tag Capacity
- Maximum number of Device tag change events to store per Device before dropping oldest historical Device tag change events. This value is independent of the 'Edge Node Tag Capacity' and only applies to how many 'Device level' tag change events are stored per Device.
- A tag change event is triggered by either a change in value or quality and results in the tag's Qualified Value (which has three attributes of value, quality and timestamp) being stored.
- Flush Quantity
- The maximum number of tags to publish in a single message upon reestablishing communication.
- Flush Period
- The period to wait in milliseconds between publishes when flushing messages upon reestablishing communication
