IBSNOW: FAQ

General

I am interested in IoT Bridge for Snowflake. How do I set it up?

Where can I get more information on MQTT Transmission and setting it up?

I have a logging error of "Failed to load the private key based on <PRIVATE KEY>"

Is the Ingestion able to handle a UNS Topic Namespace or only Sparkplug B?

Currently, only Sparkplug B is supported

Where can we find the machine models data?

All machine models can be found in the NODE_MACHINE_REGISTRY_VW view

How does the snowflake_streaming_channel_scheme = EDGE_ID work?

The channel scheme setting defines how IBSNOW connects to the Snowflake streaming endpoint. A channel represents a logical, named streaming connection to Snowflake. When you choose EDGE_ID as your channel scheme, IBSNOW will make a separate connections to the Snowflake streaming endpoint for each unique Sparkplug edge node.

Why are my SPARKPLUG_DEVICE_MESSAGES table and NODE_MACHINE_REGISTRY_VW view empty?

If you are not publishing MQTT Sparkplug messages formatted using Sparkplug templates, these will not be populated as the templates are used to create and maintain the NODE_MACHINE_REGISTRY_VW view. The payload will be present in the SPARKPLUG_RAW table.
