MQTT Streaming
Wildeye can stream live site data directly into your SCADA or industrial monitoring system. As new readings arrive from the field, they are pushed to your system automatically - there is no need to poll or schedule data imports.
This is useful if you need your operational data visible inside a platform like Ignition alongside data from other equipment, or if you want to build custom dashboards, alarms, or control logic on top of your Wildeye data.
How it works
Wildeye publishes data using MQTT, a lightweight messaging standard widely used in industrial and IoT applications. Data is structured using the Sparkplug B specification, which is supported natively by most modern SCADA platforms.
When your system connects to the Wildeye broker, your sites appear as devices and your readings appear as named data points. Updates arrive as they happen - typically within seconds of a reading being received from the field.
What systems does it work with?
Any SCADA or HMI platform that supports Sparkplug B can connect to Wildeye. The most common integration is with Ignition by Inductive Automation, which has built-in Sparkplug B support. Other compatible platforms and custom applications using standard MQTT libraries also work.
Wildeye's MQTT integration is typically set up by a SCADA integrator on your behalf. If you are working with an integrator, they can contact the Wildeye support team to get the credentials and configuration details they need.
What data is available?
Any logged input on your Wildeye sites can be made available over MQTT. This includes sensor readings from Modbus, SDI-12, and other connected devices.
Note: Calculated values are not currently available over MQTT. If you need a specific data point that is not streaming, contact support and we can advise.
Getting started
To enable MQTT streaming for your account, contact the Wildeye support team. We will:
Set up secure credentials for your system or integrator
Enable streaming on your account
Send a configuration guide with everything needed to connect
Once your account is enabled, your integrator can have data flowing into your SCADA system within a short setup session.
