This example shows how to store Connext data in InfluxDB at high data rates. Afterwards historical data can be visualized via Grafana. Using InfluxDB allows to historize data at much higher data rate when compared to MySQL data base. Example uses a preconfigured Telegraf functionality (available starting with PACEdge v2.2.0), which takes data tags that are being published to a specific MQTT topic and automatically stores them in InfluxDB database.
Example steps:

1.Setup Connext project, where data is being gathered via OPC UA Client
2.Configure Connext to publish data tags via MQTT
3.Observe data via Grafana
Applicable PACEdge Versions: 2.2
