Connections and configurations

Check configurations

Incorrect configurations can interrupt data flow and cause errors in values and ranges. Perform the following steps confirm correct configuration for your adapter.

1. Navigate to Configure data source and validate each parameter value.

2. Navigate to Configure data selection and validate each parameter value.

3. Navigate to Egress endpoints and verify each configured endpoint's Endpoint property and credentials are correct.

   • For a AVEVA PI Server endpoint, verify UserName and Password.

   • For an CONNECT data services endpoint, verify ClientId and ClientSecret.

TCP connection

Perform the following steps to see all established TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) sessions in Linux:

4. Open a terminal.

5. Type the following command: ss -o state established -t -p

6. Select Enter.

Check connectivity

Perform the following steps to verify active connections to the data source and egress endpoints.

7. Based on your egress endpoints, verify that data values are updating.

8. For AVEVA PI Server, send a request to the PI Web API to verify that PI point values are updating. Use Postman or a Web browser to send the request. For more information, see PI Web API Reference.

   Alternatively, use any PI Client software to read point values from the PI Data Archive directly.

9. For CONNECT data services, view the CONNECT data services portal to verify that data streams are updating. For more information, see Getting started with trend data.

   Alternatively, you can use Postman to send an API request to verify data streams. For more information, see API calls for reading data.

10. If configured, use a health endpoint to determine the status of the adapter.

    For more information, see Health and Diagnostics.
