View Data from a Belden Horizon Data Operations Instance and/or a Child Device

to view data from a belden horizon data operations instance, at least one child device (connected device within the belden horizon data operations instance) must be first properly set up the child device must be connected with tags, and then the tags must be transformed as imported topics inside the belden horizon data operations instance's default generic mqtt ssl connector this first child connection will facilitate the data connection between a belden horizon data operations instance and the belden horizon data manager additional child device connections from a belden horizon data operations instance will append to the belden horizon data operations instance's data and also display as additional child devices in belden horizon data manager notes viewing a child device's messages works only for standard tags if the child device's tag is removed from the default generic mqtt ssl connector, the child device is not deleted from the list of available child devices and will still be displayed before you begin using belden horizon data manager, activate an edge device see docid\ bbgh94p0zhjuz0juao6by 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 belden horizon data operations step 2 set up default generic mqtt ssl connector with imported topics in belden horizon data operations step 3 view data in belden horizon data manager to jump to a specific section, refer to the table of contents on the right side and click the corresponding step step 1 connect a device with tags in belden horizon data operations before data can be viewed for a belden horizon data operations 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 belden horizon data operations instance to connect a device with at least one tag docid\ fzhgh9 zgck06u648n cr docid 4y 4f9l r7irmk69lmeoz to the connected device from the previous step step 2 set up default generic mqtt ssl connector with imported topics in belden horizon data operations 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 docid 0m9n5efexraamimfwyau3 for details import the added tags from step 1 connect a device with tags in belden horizon data operations as outbound topics to the default generic mqtt ssl connector see connector topics within docid 0m9n5efexraamimfwyau3 for details enable the imported topics see the manage connector topics section in docid 0m9n5efexraamimfwyau3 for details (optional) edit the imported topics to assign user friendly names step 3 view data in belden horizon data manager once a belden horizon data operations instance is connected to belden horizon data manager and a device is added to that belden horizon data operations instance, you can view data (outbound messages) from that belden horizon data operations instance or that instance's (child device) in the belden horizon data manager ui to access the data viewing ui in belden horizon data manager log in to belden horizon data manager select a company the projects pane appears do one of the following click a project from the projects pane the dashboard pane appears for the project click the actions icon for a project, and then select view the dashboard pane appears for the project from the navigation panel, select edge devices the edge devices pane 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 set up default generic mqtt ssl connector with imported topics in belden horizon data operations 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 set up default generic mqtt ssl connector with imported topics in belden horizon data operations 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 belden horizon data manager, you can visualize this data using grafana see docid\ ozlzfqdm9f w1gdoirdws
