Hi all, in the last days I have done some tests with the current version of the OPC UA adapter and looked for improvements. One important aspect that I noticed quickly is the support of multiple nodes that are connected to the base node specified in the adapter. In the current state of the adapter, the getSchema method uses the specified node as a starting point and conducts a search for connected nodes. As soon as all connected nodes are found, all variables are displayed together as a list in the EventSchema. At this point, I think Streampipes could better support the hierarchical nature of OPC UA. One idea, which has already been raised by Philipp, would be to visualized all variables found in the nodes in a tree structure, so the user can see the hierarchical structure at first glance and can easily select the variables of interest.
What do you think? Would you agree that this is a useful aspect for improvement? Do you have any other ideas how we could deal with this? Do you know some use cases we should definitely consider when dealing with hierarchical nodes? Best, Tim
