Environment Variables Used by the OPCUA DA Collector
The environment variables used by the OPCUA DA collector are available in the opcua-collector-config.json file. The following table describes these values.
Important: For OPCUA DA, Server-to-Server, and Server-to-Cloud collectors, ensure that you have set the environment variables correctly before applying the configuration changes. This is because after you have applied the configuration changes for a collector, you cannot set the environment variables. If, however, you must change the values of the environment variables after the applying the changes, you must change the InterfaceName and DefaultTagPrefix values. When you do so, a new instance of the collector is created. As a result, you must add the tags again.
