Determining the settings for the MQTT Transmission History Store requires understanding the unique system properties at each Edge Node.
These include the number of tags at the Edge Node and Device levels, the frequency at which these tags are changing, the required period for data storage and the RAM or disk based storage available on the Edge hardware.
Testing is the best way to determine your settings for your Edge Gateway(s) and the recommended approach is to:
Reconnect and monitor the data flushing to ensure that the Flush settings (quantity and period) are able to handle the current tag changes that continue to build.
For ease of control we recommend setting a Primary Host ID in both MQTT Engine and in the MQTT Transmission.
Removing the Primary Host ID from MQTT Engine will simulate the primary backend application going offline and cause MQTT Transmission to store data to the History Store.
Restoring the Primary Host ID to MQTT Engine will simulate that the primary backend application is online and cause MQTT Transmission to flush the stored data.
The History Store values used in the video were selected to easily show the process for testing. It would be expected that a much higher Flush Quantity would be required in a live environment to stop a build up of data in history store preventing the publishing of live data.
