Question: Configuration of Historical Access

Open AndreSchm opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Is there a way to configure the following two properties in context of Historical Access:

  1. Storage of historical data As far as I understood the default memory space for the historical data is the main memory. Is there a way to set an other memory type like file system or a database?

  2. Maximum data points per node in HA The maximum amount of data points per node is capped at 1000. Is there a way to increase this threshold? Reading the docs I found the MaxReturnDataValues property. Is this implemented and configurable?

Thank you very much in advance.

  1. Not at the moment, I didn´t put any options. There are some ways to add this feature. I will make small study how to add this. Any proposal what TSDB or database you would like to use?
  2. See above, I could add options then user can define amount of data points.

I have implemented this for our product. It actually defines own class and uses it to make callbacks for the historian DB.

I would think of influxdb, postgres (maybe timescale) or MS sql server but I'm not sure, whether they are applicable for this purpose.

Any news on implementing an option to increase buffer size and/or target an external database for persistent storage?
