my version of Ignition?

Which Ignition Datatypes are supported via MQTT?

Do I need to do anything special to connect to my TTN (www.thethingsnetwork.org) broker?

Why are the parameter labels for the modules displayed oddly in the UI?

What do each of the MQTT Modules do in simple terms?

...

MQTT Distributor - A MQTT v3.1.1 compliant MQTT Server.
MQTT Engine - A module which acts as a MQTT to Ignition Tag Bridge. This module listens for and captures incoming MQTT messages and creates/updates Ignition tags based on those messages. In addition it listens for tag writes in Ignition and converts those to MQTT messages to send/update data and I/O on the remote MQTT devices. This module can be thought of as a tool to receive and visualize MQTT data in Ignition.
MQTT Transmission - An Ignition Tag to MQTT Bridge. This module listens for tag change events in Ignition and converts those to outgoing Sparkplug MQTT messages. In addition, it listens for incoming MQTT messages and updates tag values based on those incoming messages. This module can be thought of as a tool to MQTT enable Ignition Tag providers and push that data to an MQTT Server and MQTT Engine.

...

A: MQTT Engine will ignore any received UDT definitions that share the same name as an existing definition. In order to change or update a UDT definition within MQTT Engine the old definition must first be manually deleted.

How do I find the Self-Signed Certificates loaded for Ignition?

How can I reduce the overall bandwidth when using Ignition and MQTT modules over a cellular connection?

What are the changes to the STATE message in the Sparkplug v3.0.0 specification?

Why am I getting a certificate expired warning when loading a module?

What are the recommended IIoT Security Best Practices

Are proxy servers supported?

Proxy servers are currently only supported by the MQTT Google Injector

MQTT Transmission

How do I exclude tags from being included in Transmission Sparkplug message payload?

How do I exclude tags from being stored in a configured HistoryStore when Transmission is offline?

What does the MQTT 'Transmission Control/Refresh' in the MQTT Transmission tag provider do?

Why is my history store flushing slowly and the current live values not being sent?

I created a Transmitter but my MQTT Transmission module does not show connections to my MQTT Server

I have data that is toggling between stale and healthy at my subscribing MQTT Client

How do I limit tag properties from being published by Transmission?

How do I minimize data loss when using MQTT Store and Forward?

How do I determine the settings for an MQTT History Store?

Why are my tag properties not being published by MQTT Transmission?

Can I send a Sparkplug JSON formatted command to MQTT Transmission?

How do I exclude UDT definitions from being included in Transmission Sparkplug BIRTH message?

What is the CMD workflow between MQTT Engine and MQTT Transmission

How do I know how many MQTT clients are connected from MQTT Transmission

How can I set the QoS or retain flag for MQTT Transmission published messages

MQTT Engine

How do I persist alarm and history configurations for MQTT Engine tags?

How do I manage UDT definition changes at the edge?

I made a update to a UDT and now my data is now longer reporting

I deleted my MQTT Engine tags and lost all alarm and history configuration

If I delete and update a UDT definition in MQTT Engine will all of the existing instance's member Tags lose their custom properties and configurations (such as history)?

A: Yes, if a UDT definition is deleted and recreated, any existing UDT instances will lose any custom properties and/or configuration.

Q: What does the MQTT 'Transmission Control/Refresh' in the MQTT Transmission tag provider do?
- A: This tag is used to 'refresh' the MQTT client(s) associated with MQTT Transmission. By default, any new tags added to a transmitter definition will not be published to the MQTT server. By writing to the 'Transmission Control/Refresh' tag any newly added tags will be detected and published.

How do I ignore or block tag properties at Engine?

How do I expose MQTT Engine as an Ignition OPC UA tag provider

How do I configure MQTT Engine to subscribe on QOS1 for non Sparkplug message

How do I resolve out of order messages arriving at MQTT Engine from a server that does not guarantee in order delivery of messages

How can I synchronize events at MQTT Engine when using tag change scripts

Why do I see Sparkplug B namespace messages in my custom namespace folders?

MQTT Engine will match ALL namespaces for any incoming message. If MQTT Engine is receiving only custom namespace messages, we recommend disabling the default Sparkplug B default namespace. If MQTT Engine is receiving messages from both the Sparkplug B default namespace and a custom namespace, you will need to ensure that your custom namespace subscription is refined so as not to pick up the messages from the Sparkplug B namespace (spBv1.0/......)
