The Edge Node BIRTH message will contain the following:

The Sparkplug elements: Namespace, Group ID, Edge Node ID. They will be grouped under "topic" along with Edge Node Descriptor and Message Type
A "timestamp" for when the payload was constructed
A "bdSeq" sequence number to track the "session" of the Tag Agent
Any Edge Node tags defined in the Edge Node folder (in our example we have none).
A message sequence number
