The interface itself has the following functions and configuration options:

Start acquisition even if a broker is not accessible

If this option is enabled, the acquisition will start even if the broker is not accessible. In case of an error, a warning is indicated in the validation dialog. If the system has been started without a connection to the broker, ibaPDA will periodically try to connect the broker.

Connection table

The table shows the configured connections. Each table row corresponds to a MQTT module, respectively a connection to a broker.

<Open log file>

If connections to MQTT brokers have been established, all connection-specific actions are logged in a text file. Using this button, you can open and check this file. In the file system on the hard disk, you will find the log files in the program path of the ibaPDA server (...\Programs\ iba\ibaPDA\Server\Log\). The file name of the current log file is MqttLog.txt, the name of the archived log files is MqttLog_yyyy_mm_dd_hh_mm_ss.txt.

<Reset statistics>

To reset the counters for all connections, simply click on the <Reset statistics> button.
