OPC UA Protocol Connection

server_url String URL address of the OPC UA server e.g. opc.tcp://localhost:12686/example
is_secure Boolean Signifies whether the connection to OPC UA server is secure or not. If it is true then cert_alias option will be used
cert_alias String Alias of the client certificate used for secure communication with OpcUA server. The private and public key of the certificate in .pem format has to be

updated via Settings→Device SSL Certificate. The alias mentioned for certificate must match with the one specified in config-json. A default alias named opcua is available, its certificate can be found at {install_location}\aliot-4.0\data\keystore\opcua.pem

discover_endpoints Boolean true value denotes that the connection endpoints will be discovered from the server_url and endpoint matching with security policy will be used for connection. 

false value means the endpoint will be the same as server_url. Default value is true.

security_policy_uri String Possible values are http://opcfoundation.org/UA/SecurityPolicy#Nonehttp://opcfoundation.org/UA/SecurityPolicy#Basic128Rsa15http://opcfoundation.org/UA/SecurityPolicy#Basic256,

http://opcfoundation.org/UA/SecurityPolicy#Basic256Sha256. The uri ending with None means no security policy is applied. Default value is Basic128Rsa15 uri.

tag_id String Unique tag id defined in the context of the current thing_config. This is used further in metric_mappings or derived_tags or scan_tag_ids or monitor_tag_ids to refer to this tag value.
node_id String The OPC UA tag definition which is present at OPC UA server e.g. ns=2;s=Channel1.Machine1.Tag1 or ns=0;i=2259. The format for tag is as follows:

ns=<namespace id>;s=<string identifier of the tag> OR ns=<namespace id>;i=<integer identifier of the tag>

For example: ns=2;s=Channel1.Machine1.Tag1
