How to connect openHistorian with other datasources #87

Hello, thanks for this awesome contribution for Open Source community.

Let's say that I have an Siemens PLC with some interesting information I want to collect. We already use a C++ program to communicate and read data from this PLC, so that part is not the problem.

My question is: How can I make this data available to openHistorian collect. Like ... what is the piece of software that need to be built so that I can connect the two?

Is it a endpoint for openHistorian to connect to? Is it a service that push values into openHistorian using it's API?
