Historical Data & Persistence #595

Closed diginfo closed 7 years ago

diginfo commented 7 years ago

I guess I am a bit confused over the persistence setup, initially I thought that it allowed received data to be saved so that you could view historical data as well as now data.

But now I think it is probably just to allow resuming in the case of a crash, or engine restart etc ?

Can you clarify this and also let me know how I can store / retrieve historical data.

Many Thanks

Persistence is for storing retained messages, and provide offline capabilities for the devices. If you need to integrate a time series tracker, it is possible via the 'publish' but you will have to provide your own logic. Let me know if you need help with that.

Thanks so much for replying, appreciate that.

But could you explain how I can access historical data, as at the moment all I am able to see is the live data.

Many Thanks
