Automatic Tag list Update with Ignition Module

Need for updating tag list while logging data with Ignition Module. A method for Canary to recognize obsolesced tags without having to use the Obsolete utility as it can be cumbersome and require…

DNP3 Module for logging from these kinds of OPC Servers

Right now logging data from a DNP3 server using one of Canary's OPC Collectors is a hassle.

Diagnostic Tags for Collectors

We have recently setup event monitoring for diagnostic tags in our environment which is working great. We are currently troubleshooting an issue with spiking high CPU use on one of our Cygnet…

Data Transformation to different data type at data collector

Would like the ability to use data transformation during the data collection step to transform to a different data type, for example: a Boolean tag from true/false to a string like (on/off,…

Better visibility within Canary of MQTT Sparkplug B Messages

With OPC DA and UA, Canary's tools (e.g. logger administrator and Canary Admin, OPC collector tile) allow us to see incoming data nicely. For MQTT though, I feel this is somewhat less the case.…

Enable MQTT Collector to Auto-Log Tags Matching Pattern

Please add a way to set one or more filters for an MQTT Collector Subscription to automatically collect tags which pass at least one of the filters. The "automatically log all tags" setting for an…

Internal ID for tags so that they could be renamed without Axiom charts/applications loosing their link

When a tag is renamed, any Axiom applications/charts using the old name will no longer work correctly. Would it be possible to have some sort of internal ID or something whereby that didn't happen?…

Force Collection at Scan Rate OPC Collector

We want to request a feature where we can force a sample interval for the OPC Collector. The data should be collected at the sample interval time defined and "NOT on change".…

Modbus & PLC Data Collection

It would be a huge benefit to be able to have a separate .json config file for each Modbus or PLC source of data (individual devices). At the moment a node must have all devices configured in one .…

To extend OPC UA collector to support Historical Access (HA)

At the moment the Canary OPC UA Collector only supports Data Access (DA). OPC UA has many other features such as Historical Access (HA) - in my situation,…

rename tags only in selected datafiles

It would be great if you could choose the files to rename the tags in. If I choose this file and earlier it searches to the beginning of time and then has to validate every file,…

Display Name property from Sparkplug

When I try setting a Sparkplug property «Display Name» this is ignored by Axiom, and does not overwrite the default autogenerered display name when adding tags to Canary.…

Force Canary to load data from beginning

If Canary was set to pull only 30 days in the past but there's actually 500 days of data, it'd be nice to be able to force Canary to load data after changing the setpoint from 30 days to 500 days.…

Close Notification for SaF

When SaF service loses connection with the Historian, you get an email alert like below. 2025/05/16 01:06:46.096 | Warn | Logger | | (MY-SERVER) PHD lost connection to the Store and Forward service.…

Storing SparkplugB CMD messages

This was discussed briefly by mail earlier, so I'll post a summary of that discussion here as well. We initially enquired about the the possibility for Canary to automatically store SparkplugB…

Tag Creation

Tag creation should initialize to a zero value.

Dynamic tag for dataset name

Allow the dataset name to reference a tag name from opc or logger. This would allow the historian to automatically rollover into a newly named dataset when a tag name changes.…

Flagging for Application critical Tags

My organization would benefit from a feature that would allow us to define/flag application critical tags so that they may be easily identified as critical and possibly add "on-change"/"no-change"…
