Confirm that the Sparkplug™ Server Component is Installed

The Sparkplug extension driver provides the MQTT driver with extra functionality. It provides Geo SCADA Expert with the ability to communicate with MQTT brokers in order to retrieve and/or control data on Sparkplug Edge Nodes and Sparkplug devices. For such communications, the Sparkplug component has to be installed on each of the servers on your system (including any permanent standby servers), in addition to the MQTT component.

Use the Add/Remove Programs function in the Windows® Control Panel to check whether the required components are installed.

The Sparkplug component is located in the Server group, in a branch off from its MQTT ‘parent’ driver component. To check that this component has been installed, ensure that the symbol to the left of the text Sparkplug does not have an X on it.
