Ignition Module does not like periods in tag provider name

Greetings!

I can't find this explicitly stated in the documentation, but are periods permitted when naming tag providers in Ignition?

My lucky permutation is as follows:

* Ignition 8.1.44
* Canary V23
* Canary module 24 (initially, but subsequently 23.0.1)
* Tag provider named "Cat.Dog"

This resulted in tags (where historised) created successfully in Canary, but the following errors in the logger, with data sitting in Store Forward:

Cannot invoke "com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.sqltags.model.TagPath.toStringFull()" because "tp" is null

Creating a new tag provider "tpCatDog" works fine.

    Hi ,

    I am not getting the same behavior. I added a provider using a period in the name and everything seemed to work as expected. No errors were recorded. I used the same versions as you mentioned above.

       thanks for the reply. 

       

      I am assuming it was the period because storage started working after I removed it. Perhaps it was something to do with deleting and recreating the tag provider with the older version of the collector module in place. Will try to recreate.

       

      Thanks again.
