Connector configuration

TrendMiner’s standard connector (also known as the ‘Plant Integrations’ module) supports out-of-the-box connectivity to some common time series, context and asset data sources. More information on the natively supported data sources can be found here. Some of these connections have configurable parameters which can be used to optimize the connection or change the behavior of the connection. All connector configuration is saved in a file called Web.config which is located in the root directory of the installed connector.

The Web.config file contains plain text in XML format and can be opened with a simple text editor such as notepad.

Specific connector configuration is saved in the <appSettings> element. By default this element contains some default config. The exact list of configuration parameters and their default values depends on the installed connector version.

Important

Each time the connector is updated a new Web.config file is installed, and the previous settings are lost, which might result in unexpected behavior in TrendMiner. We therefore strongly encourage to keep a list of overridden settings and edit the config file again manually after updating the connector.

Replacing the new Web.config with a backup of an old version is not recommended as the new Web.config might contain new parameters which are not present in previous versions. 

The following parameters are supported in version v3.6.96-b9d1bb4[1].
