How to get ArchFX Cloud data into Qlik

Qlik can be used to display ArchFX Cloud data. This is done by creating and configuring a "Rest Connector" within Qlik.

To do so, you will need your user token from ArchFX Cloud. You can find this token from https://arch.archfx.io/api/v1/auth/token/ (replace arch.archfx.io with your own ArchFX Cloud Server if different).

Use the following as arguments for the Qlik Rest Connector configuration:

• API URL: https://arch.archfx.io/api/v1/data/raw/
• API Parameters: You will need to specify a comma-separated list arguments to select the data you want
  • org=<your-org> should always be one of the arguments
  • variable=<variable-id> is used to select the kind of data you want (see table below)
  • device=<device-id> is used to specify the device/connector Arch ID
  • parent=<line-id> is used to filter by Line Arch ID
  • start=<ISO Formatted Date Time> is used to specify the starting point for the query. Note that ArchFX will limit queries to 10,000 records, so you should always specify a starting point to ensure to get the proper data
  • end=<ISO Formatted Date Time> is used to specify the end point. Leave empty if you want all data until "now"
  • An example of the arguments could be "org=acme-inc, variable=0000-5051, device=d--0000-0000-0000-0001, start=2021-02-10T10:00:00+00:00"
• Add authentication token as header: Use the "token" you got above,and enter as Authorization: Token token-you-copied

Next is the list of most common variable IDs in a factory:
