HistorianSpecify Tags for Data Collection
Before you begin
- Add the collector instance using which you want to collect data. Ensure that the collector is running.
- By default, the tag data is stored in the user data store, which is created automatically when you set up Configuration Hub. If, however, you want to store the data in a different data store, create it.
