Writing historical events directly to tag is required if there are:

The configuration parameters required to write historical events directly to the database, via the Historian, bypassing the Tag are shown below.
Under the MQTT Engine Settings General Tab, navigate to the Miscellaneous Settings and ensure Store Historical events is selected
History must be enabled on the MQTT Engine tag but the only property used from the tag history configuration is the Storage Provider.

All other properties such as Sample Mode, Max Time Between Samples, Deadband etc are ignored when writing historic data |
The Edge side client can publish historic data either in-order (synchronously) or asynchronously.
Tip |

If you are using MQTT Transmission as the Edge side client, under the MQTT Transmission Settings for your transmitter, navigate to the History Settings to disable the In-Order History configuration parameter. Enabling the In-Order History for MQTT Transmission is unnecessary and will result in a waste of resources. |

The configuration parameters required to write historical events to the tag instead of directly to the Historian are detailed below.
Under the MQTT Engine Settings General Tab, navigate to the Miscellaneous Settings and ensure Store Historical events is de-selected
History must be enabled on the tag (either directly on the MQTT Engine tag and/or reference tag) with these two three settings required:
All historic data will be written to the tag using the timestamp associated with the historical data.
Note |
---|
Deadband Style must be set to Discrete for all tag datatypes. This ensures that a change is registered any time the value moves +/- the specified amount from the last stored value. If left at the default Auto setting, Ignition will determine the deadband style based on the tag datatype. See this Ignition Configuring Tag History Deadband and Analog Compression for details on how the Analog and Discrete Deadband Styles differ. |
Note |

When Max Time Between Samples is greater than 0, it isinserts at this sample time are not honored during historical data flushes because the tag updates for historical data occur too quickly. See exampleFor example the Max Time Between Samples is 5 Seconds. Whilst the edge node is offline, the edge node tag has updates every 10 seconds. On reconnect, all these historical change events are published and written to the MQTT Engine tag within milliseconds. As a result the Max Time Between Samples does not trigger. |
If you are not using reference tags, the Edge side client must publish historic data in-order (synchronously) before live data resumes. This is because Ignition will ignore writes to the tag if the timestamp on the tag change is older that the current value.

If you are using MQTT Transmission as the Edge side client, under the MQTT Transmission Settings for your transmitter, navigate to the History Settings to select or deselect the In-Order History configuration parameter. As shown below, when the MQTT Transmission client comes back online and flushes history, it will flush the oldest historical events first (in order) before sending live Tag changes events to Engine. |
