You can adjust it using the documentation, but you do not have to.
# Example of a simple config.toml # Specify the data source [source] type = "mqtt" host = "test.mosquitto.org" port = 1883 topics = ["datafurt/test/topic"] # Specify the target system [target] type = "csv" path = "./data.csv"

Questions?
Let's try to answer some common questions.
What is DataFurt?
DataFurt Systems is a German company that specializes in software solutions for industrial data communication.
DataFurt Bridge is the main product of DataFurt Systems. It is a local service that receives data from various sources and translates it into different target systems.
How is the software paid for and delivered?
You can conveniently download and test the software before purchase.
License purchases are handled through our provider Lemon Squeezy. You always pay for the coming year in advance. Immediately after purchase, you receive your invoice with VAT shown and a link where you can download your license file(s). Working with license files is described in the documentation.
Do I need to buy a new license every year?
No, the license is a subscription that automatically renews for a defined term. The term can be set to between 1 and 3 years. Your yearly cost remains unchanged for that term. You can cancel the license at any time so it will not renew after the term ends.
When a new term begins, you must renew the license file on every server where DataFurt Bridge is running.
Which term should I choose?
If you want maximum planning certainty and minimal maintenance effort, choose the maximum term of 3 years.
If you want to stay as flexible as possible, choose the minimum term of 1 year.
What does the direct, qualified email support include?
Email support includes answers to specific questions about configuration, using the software, and issues that arise. The usual response time is 1 business day.
Intensive training, online sessions, or on-site support are not included, but they are available on request and are billed separately.
