This section explains each of the properties in the configuration blade.

---|---|
Collection | This associates the Agent to a specific Collection (default to that of the current Data Stream). |
Polling Interval (seconds) | A timespan to specify how often should the Agent check for new data/changes or update its cache. |
Once the Server Url is provided, the Agent will attempt to connect to the Litmus Edge OPC UA Server and retrieve its available Endpoints. Selecting an Endpoint will populate the Security dropdown with the available User Security Policies for the Endpoint.
Property | Description |
---|---|
Use Variables | Tick to select saved Server Url, User Name, and Password variables; or enter the text manually. |
Server Url | The Url of the OPC UA Server to connect to. |

Security | The authentication options are:
|
User Name | The User Name used to authenticate with the server (applies to UserName Security only). |
Password | The Password used to authenticate with the server (applies to UserName Security only). |
When the Connection details are completed, the Agent attempts to authenticate with the Litmus Edge OPC UA Server. If successful, the Address Space of the Server is made available to the Agent, allowing the navigation of Branches.
Property | Description |
---|---|
Branch Navigation | The method used to navigate to the Node where the Tag values are retrieved:
|
Branch Path | The dot-separated Branch path to the Node where the Tag values are retrieved (applies to Using Dot Notation Branch Navigation only).
A path that is invalid or does not exist will not display any available Tags. Do not use dots (.) in the Branch names to ensure the Address Space is traversed correctly. |
