About this source

Ignition SCADA gateway (Inductive Automation Ignition 8.3+) read through its built-in HTTP API with a customer API key. Covers gateway identity and license, health (critical problems, connection health, CPU and memory), projects, connections by kind (database, device, OPC, tag provider, historian, alarm journal, alarm notification, store and forward), tag configuration by provider and folder, installed modules, and gateway logs. Not covered: live tag values, tag history, and active alarms. The built-in API has no route for them. Auth: X-Ignition-API-Token header plus the gateway's public HTTPS address. All methods are read-only.
