Generic Configurations
General settings for the Storage Provider service can be made in the Generic Configurations.
GENERIC CONFIGURATIONS
Provider Alias:
Each Analytics Storage Provider Service has its own GUID for identification. You can enter a provider alias in the general configuration area so that this can be replaced by a meaningful name.
Main Topic:
Basically, you do not have to worry about the topic. However, you can enter the so-called Main Topic here. It describes the first part of the overall topic. Beckhoff-specific additions are then added. This results in a very simple plug-and-play system with TwinCAT Analytics.
Host Message Broker:
The so-called Host Message Broker can be configured here. The Storage Provider Service logs on to this message broker itself and makes its data available. This broker can also be a so-called Data Message Broker, which is used to receive data to the Storage Provider Service. There can only be one Host Broker in the system, but several Data Brokers.
Logging:
Check various logging options.
Service:
Displays the status and default settings for starting the Windows service.
