Better visibility within Canary of MQTT Sparkplug B Messages
Feedback / Product Ideas and Feature Requests / Data Logging
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. MQTT Explorer is free and can be used to look at the broker but it doesn't decode the Sparkplug B payload. MQTT.fx can be used for that but isn't free and regardless, either requires installing extra software. Could we get some better screen within Canary to look at incoming SpB messages? My recent need for this was to be able to confirm the timestamp in the payload was in the past and so Canary logging data but with the wrong timestamp was a symptom of the data in the payload.
