Template:Networking rutos manual data to server

Summary

Data to Server function provides you with the possibility to set up senders that transfer data collected from Modbus slaves to remote servers.

If you're having trouble finding this page or some of the parameters described here on your device's WebUI, you should turn on "Advanced WebUI" mode. You can do that by clicking the "Advanced" button, located at the top of the WebUI.

When you add a new data sender, you will be redirected to its configuration window. The figure below is an example of that window and the table below provides information on the fields that it contains:

General

Field	Value	Description
Enabled	off | on; default: off	Enables or disables data sender.
Name	string; default: none	Name of the data sender. Used for easier data senders management purposes only (optional).
Protocol	HTTP(S) | MQTT; default: HTTP(S)	Protocol used for sending the data to server.
JSON format	string; default: {"TS": "%t", "D": "%d", "data": %a}	You can fully customize JSON segment, possible values: Date (Linux timestamp) - %t Date (Day/Month/Year Hour:Minute:Second) - %d Modbus slave ID - %i Modbus slave IP - %p Start register - %s Register data (JSON object) - %a
Segment count	integer [1..10]; default: 1	Max segment count in one JSON string sent to server.
URL/Host/Connection string	string; default: none	URL for HTTP(S); Host for MQTT; Connection string for Azure MQTT.
Period	integer [1..86400]; default: 60	Interval for sending the collected data to server (in seconds, 1-86400)
Data filtering	All data | By slave ID | By slave IP; default: All data	Choose which data this sender will send to server.
By slave ID: Slave ID	integer [1..255]; default: none	Data will be sent to server only from slave device with this modbus ID (1-255).
By slave IP: Slave IP	ip; default: none	Data will be sent to server from slave device with this IP address only (Modbus TCP slaves only).
Retry on fail	off | on; default: off	In case of a failed attempt, retry to send the same data to server later (Retry until successful).

Protocol HTTP(S)

Field	Value	Description
Custom Header	string; default: none	Allows to add custom headers to the HTTP requests.
Use TLS	off | on; default: off	Enables the use of TSL certificates.
On: TLS type	Certificate based; default: Certificate based	Select type of TLS.
On: A File	.ca file; default: none	Certificate authority is an entity that issues digital certificates. A digital certificate certifies the ownership of a public key by the named subject of the certificate.
On: Client Certificate	.crt file; default: none	Certificate file is a type of digital certificate that is used by client systems to make authenticated requests to a remote server. If client certificate is not needed, leave both client certificate and client key fields empty.
On: Private Key	.key file; default: none	File containing private key for this client. This file needs to be not encrypted.

Protocol MQTT

Field	Value	Description
Port	integer [0..65535]; default: 1883	Port number for connecting to MQTT.
Keepalive	integer [1..640]; default: 60	MQTT Keepalive period in seconds.
Topic	string; default: none	MQTT topic to be used for publishing the data.
QoS	integer [0..2]; default: 0	MQTT Quality of Service. Allowed values: 0 - when we prefer that the message will not arrive at all rather than arrive twice, 1 - when we want the message to arrive at least once but don't care if it arrives twice (or more), 2 - when we want the message to arrive exactly once. A higher QoS value means a slower transfer.
Use TLS	off | on; default: off	Enables the use of TSL certificates.
On: TLS type	Certificate based | Pre-shared key based; default: Certificate based	Select type of TLS.
Certificate based: CA File	.ca file; default: none	Certificate authority is an entity that issues digital certificates. A digital certificate certifies the ownership of a public key by the named subject of the certificate.
Certificate based: Client Certificate	.crt file; default: none	Certificate file is a type of digital certificate that is used by client systems to make authenticated requests to a remote server. If client certificate is not needed, leave both client certificate and client key fields empty.
Certificate based: Private Key	.key file; default: none	File containing private key for this client. This file needs to be not encrypted.
Pre-shared key based: Pre-Shared-Key	string; default: none	The pre-shared-key in hex format with no leading "0x".
Pre-shared key based: Identity	string; default: none	The identity of this client. May be used as the username depending on the server settings.
Use Credentials	off | on; default: off	Enables use of username and password for authentication.
