Get Started with Proficy Historian and Operations Hub

Before You Begin

Before beginning, make a note of the following:

• Ensure the Historian Web Clients are installed on the Historian machine; this is very important if you will be using the Historian REST API in Operations Hub.
• Ensure that you can access Historian Web Trending Client from a remote machine or from the Operations Hub machine.
• Ensure that certificates are trusted for both Operations Hub and Historian (not strictly necessary if you use option to ignore TLS/SSL, but a good idea).

Steps

The following sections walk you through:

1. Configuring a Historian data source (System API or REST API) in Operations Hub. See Configure Historian Data Sources for Operations Hub.
2. Creating a Model. See Create a Model for Operations Hub to use with Historian.
3. Using the Trend widget to trend model-based Historian data or trend data directly from a Historian. See Use the Trend Widget for Historian Data Source.
4. Creating a Historian REST query. See Create Historian REST Query for Operations Hub.
