About Historian Plugin Management in Configuration Hub

The Historian plugin in Configuration Hub enables you to perform several tasks like monitor, supervise, retrieve, and control gathering functions from a server, client, or one or more remote nodes. However, it operates as a web-based application.

When you install the Historian server and web-based clients, the Configuration Hub application is installed along with Proficy Authentication. Additionally, the Historian node and plugin are automatically registered with the Proficy Authentication and Configuration Hub based on the Historian HTTP and database port numbers.

After installing the Historian Server and the Web-based clients, if you access the Configuration Hub, you can see the Historian plugin displayed in the NAVIGATION pane. Also, the Historian node and the plugin can be seen in the Administration plugin > Node Manager.

Note: However, if during installation, the Historian node did not properly register with the Proficy Authentication and Configuration Hub, and did not appear in the Node Manager, you can add a Historian node on Configuration Hub using the Node Manager.

The Node Manger consolidates control over product and license details, and you can view the corresponding Historian node's certificate, and license details. Using the Node Manager, if needed, you can modify a plugin display name, unregister a plugin, and if you want to register it at a later stage, you can register the plugin again.
