Predix Time Series Information Fields in HistorianServers.reg file
Following fields are added to HistorianServers.reg file to provide Predix Time series ingestion URL and Predix UAA credentials.
| Field | Description | Contact |
|---|---|---|
| Cloud Destination Address | The URL of a data streaming endpoint exposed by the Predix Time Series instance to which the data should go. Typically, it starts with wss://. | Your Predix Time Series administrator can provide this URL. |
| Identity Issuer | The URL of an authentication endpoint for the collector to authenticate itself and acquire necessary credentials to stream to the Predix Time Series. Typically, it starts with https:// and ends with /oauth/token. | Your Predix Time Series administrator can provide this URL. |
| Client ID | This field identifies the collector when interacting with the Predix Time Series. This is equivalent to the User name in many authentication schemes. The client must exist in the UAA identified by the Identity Issuer, and the system requires that the timeseries.zones. {ZoneId}.ingest and timeseries.zones.{ZoneId}.query authorities are granted to the client for the Predix Zone ID specified. | Your Predix Time Series administrator can provide this information. |
| Client Secret | This field stores the secret to authenticate the collector. This is equivalent to Password in many authentication schemes. | Your Predix Time Series administrator can provide this information. |
| Zone ID | Because the Predix system hosts many instances of the Time Series service, the Zone ID uniquely identifies the one instance to which the collector will stream data. | Your Predix Time Series administrator can provide this information. |
| Proxy | If the collector is running on a network where proxy servers are used to access web resources outside of the network, then proxy server settings must be provided. This field identifies the URL of the proxy server to be used for both the authentication process and for streaming data. However, it does not affect the proxy server used by Windows when establishing secure connections. As a result, you should still properly configure the proxy settings for the Windows user account under which the collector service runs. | Your local IT administrator can provide the proxy server information. |
