Modern Historian

Fully automated provisioning for a modern historian stack

A big part of this setup is about the provisioning of the edge stack with all you need to run a modern historian.

6 Docker containers are used:

  • OPC-UA Server
  • InfluxDB
  • Telegraf
  • Grafana
  • Portainer
  • Traefik

Here is a diagram to show the architecture:

What you get

Several configurations are applied during the provisioning process in order to automate and simplify the setup. Below is a quick summary of what you get out of the box:

  • OPC-UA Server:
    • A Pump object added to the OPC-UA server namespace for the scope of the demo scenario. Read more here on the setup of the OPC-UA server.
  • InfluxDB v2:
    • tokens for telegraf and Grafana created
    • bucket created
    • task to calculate prussures differences
  • Telegraf:
    • configuration to read data from the OPC UA Server
    • configuration to write data into InfluxDB's bucket
  • Grafana:
    • datasource configuraion
    • demo dashboard
  • Trefik:
    • Setup Traefik as reverse proxy and load balancer for Portainer and Grafana

InfluxDB2's generated tokens are stored on output/tokens.txt file.

Below is a screenshot for the provisioned dashboard:

Access to the services

In order to get access to the services please, refer to the below table:

Service URL Username Password
InfluxDB v2 http://localhost:8086 demouser demopassword
Grafana https://localhost:6443/grafana demouser demopassword
Portainer https://localhost:6443/portainer/#!home admin
Traefik https://localhost:6443/dashboard/#/ admin demopassword

To get access to the OPC UA Server, you can use any OPC UA client, e.g. Prosys

As url, use the following opc.tcp://localhost:4334/UA/DemoOPCUAServer

NOTE: In case of cloud deployment, ensure to replace localhost with the public IP address of your droplet.
