View Data from a Manufacturing Connect Edge Instance and/or a Child Device

to view data from a manufacturing connect edge instance, at least one child device (connected device within the manufacturing connect edge instance) must be properly set up the child device must be connected with tags, and then the tags must be transformed as imported topics inside the manufacturing connect edge instance's default generic mqtt ssl connector this first child connection will facilitate the data connection between a manufacturing connect edge instance and the manufacturing connect additional child device connections from a manufacturing connect edge instance will append to the manufacturing connect edge instance's data note viewing a child device's messages works only for standard tags before you begin using manufacturing connect, activate an edge device see create a configuration and activate an edge device docid\ jala8oa1dtk8bdvoenawa for more details to use view data from an edge device and/or a child device, you will need to do the following step 1 connect a device with tags in manufacturing connect edge step 2 setup default generic mqtt ssl connector with imported topics in manufacturing connect edge step 3 view data in manufacturing connect to jump to a specific section, refer to the table of contents on the right side and click the corresponding step s tep 1 connect a device with tags in manufacturing connect edge before data can be viewed for a manufacturing connect edge instance, a device must be first connected to the instance and then associated with tags this allows the connected device's data to be extracted from the manufacturing connect edge instance to connect a device with at least one tag connect a device docid\ rfvijdxz7dbad8mwbisma add tags docid\ ioanzd2awqnkuppgee3eh to the connected device from the previous step step 2 set up default generic mqtt ssl connector with imported topics in manufacturing connect edge after a device is connected with tags, the default generic mqtt ssl connector must be enabled then the generated tags earlier must then be transformed as topics to be immediately imported and enabled into the default generic mqtt ssl connector to set up default generic mqtt ssl connector with at least one imported topic make sure that the default generic mqtt ssl connector is connected see manage individual connectors within manage connectors docid\ slflfyqo1irgdr y0rxzc for details import the added tags from step 1 connect a device with tags in manufacturing connect edge as outbound topics to the default generic mqtt ssl connector see connector topics within manage connectors docid\ slflfyqo1irgdr y0rxzc for details enable the imported topics see the manage connector topics section in manage connectors docid\ slflfyqo1irgdr y0rxzc for details (optional) edit the imported topics to assign user friendly names step 3 view data in manufacturing connect once a manufacturing connect edge instance is connected to manufacturing connect and a device is added to that manufacturing connect edge instance, you can view data (outbound messages) from that manufacturing connect edge instance or that instance's (child device) in the manufacturing connect ui to access the data viewing ui in manufacturing connect log in to manufacturing connect from the navigation panel, select edge management the edge devices tab appears view data from edge device to view edge device data from edge devices , click the id of the edge device whose data you want to view the device details pane appears click the raw tab the raw data pane appears toggle auto refresh at the bottom of the pane select the refresh interval from the interval drop down list the messages published by the topics you have added to the generic mqtt ssl connector in step 2 setup default generic mqtt ssl connector with imported topics in manufacturing connect edge appear on the pane the list of messages is refreshed according to the interval you have selected from the earlier step view data from child edge device to view child edge device data click the show child devices icon next to an edge device the child devices for the edge device drop down click the id of the child device whose data you want to view the selected device's information pane appears click the explore tab the explore pane appears toggle auto refresh at the bottom of the pane select the refresh interval from the interval drop down list the topics you have added to the default generic mqtt ssl connector in step 2 setup default generic mqtt ssl connector with imported topics in manufacturing connect edge appear on the pane their last value and updated at fields refresh according to the interval you have selected in the previous step to see the list of values a topic has published since it began auto refreshing, click last value for that topic the values appear in the edge device object value dialog box, in a tabular format to display the same data as a chart, select the chart tab note once a child device's data has been published (and has become viewable) in manufacturing connect, you can visualize this data using grafana see visualize child device data using grafana docid 7arcayfrur9x7mafqft7w
