After all of the scripts have successfully executed, create a new user in Snowflake. This user will be used by IoT Bridge for Snowflake to push data into Snowflake. In the Snowflake Web UI, go to Admin → Users & Roles and then click '+ User' in the upper right hand corner. Give it a username of your choice and a secure password as shown below. For this example we're calling the user IBSNOW_INGEST so we know this user is for ingest purposes. See below for an example and then click 'Create User'.

In addition, the user must have a specific role to be able to stream data into Snowflake. Click the newly created user to see the following.

...

• mqtt_server_url
  • This is the AWS IoT Core MQTT Server endpoint URL. It must be of the form: ssl://ENDPOINT_URL:8883
• mqtt_server_name
  • Give it a meaningful name if desired'
• mqtt_username
  • The username for the MQTT connection if required
  • If using Chariot MQTT Server, the default username is 'admin'
• mqtt_password
  • The password for the MQTT connection if required
  • If using Chariot MQTT Server, the default password is 'changeme' 
• primary_host_id
  • Set it to a text string such as 'IamHost'
• snowflake_streaming_client_name
  • Some text string such as 'MY_CLIENT'
• snowflake_streaming_table_name
  • This is the staged_sparkplug_raw_table created by the Snowflake setup in SQL Script 02
  • If the default Snowflake setup scripts were used, this is 'SPARKPLUG_RAW'
• snowflake_notify_db_name
  • This is the cl_bridge_node_db created by the Snowflake setup in SQL Script 06
  • If the default Snowflake setup scripts were used, this is 'cl_bridge_node_db'
• snowflake_notify_schema_name
  • This is the stage_db created by the Snowflake setup in SQL Script 06
  • If the default Snowflake setup scripts were used, this is 'stage_db'
• snowflake_notify_warehouse_name
  • This is the cl_bridge_ingest_wh created by the Snowflake setup in SQL Script 07
  • If the default Snowflake setup scripts were used, this is 'cl_bridge_ingest_wh'

When complete, it should look similar to what is shown below.

Edge Setup with Ignition and MQTT Transmission

Install Ignition and MQTT Transmission module

At this point IoT Bridge is configured and ready to receive data. To get data flowing into IBSNOW we'll set up Inductive Automation's Ignition platform along with the MQTT Transmission module from Cirrus Link.

Installation of Ignition is very straightforward following the instructions in the Installing and Upgrading Ignition guide.

With Ignition installed, the Cirrus Link MQTT Transmission module must be installed as a plugin to Ignition. Follow the instructions in our Module Installation guide

Import UDTs and tags

Launch the Ignition Designer to connect to your Ignition instance.

Once it is launched, navigate to the 'default' tag provider in the Tag Browser, expand the tag tree to see the automatically created tags as shown below and delete tags Example Tag and MQTT Quickstart.Image Modified

from the Designer import these tags IBSNOW_Quickstart_tags.json to MQTT Tags > PLC 1 create a UDT Definition and instance.
