Add a Historian Node (Optional)

The steps listed in this topic are only needed if the Historian node was not properly configured during the installation and is not being displayed in the Node Manager.

Procedure

  1. Double-click the Configuration Hub icon on your desktop ().
    The Configuration Hub login page appears.
  2. Login with the default user credentials. That is <hostname>.admin.
    The configuration hub application appears, listing the Historian plugin in the NAVIGATION pane.
  3. In the NAVIGATION pane, select and expand Administration, and then select Node Manager.
    The node manager administration page appears.
  4. In the upper-right corner, select .
    The Add Node Manager window appears.
  5. Enter the HOST NAME. Here, it is the Historian node host name in a fully qualified domain name format. For example, testmachine123.testdomain.com.
  6. Enter the DISPLAY NAME for the Historian node.
  7. Enter the PORT NUMBER of the host that you entered.
  8. You must trust the node manager certificate. To trust the certificate, select Not Trusted.
    The Certificate Details window appears, listing the certificate information.
  9. Read the certificate details and if you trust, select Trust.
    In the Add Node Manager window, the certificate status changes to trusted.
  10. Select Test Connection.
    If the connection is successful, a success message appears. If not, check the host name and the port are correct.
  11. Select Add.
    The Historian node along with the plugin are added.
    By default, the plugin gets registered.

    In rare cases, for some reason, if the plugin is not registered, you can register the plugin.
