OPC UA for Grafana – Industrial Data Access and Control
Access live and historical OPC UA data, write values, and diagnose runtime behavior directly from Grafana with OOUAMiddleware.
OOUA Grafana Industrial Extension turns Grafana into a true OPC UA interaction layer for industrial systems.
Grafana is powerful… but incomplete for industrial systems
Grafana is widely used for industrial dashboards.
It provides excellent visualization capabilities:
time series
alerts
dashboards
But it lacks critical OPC UA capabilities:
no native runtime
no controlled write
no diagnostic visibility
Industrial systems are interactive.
Grafana is read-only by design.
From visualization to industrial interaction
OOUA Grafana Industrial Extension extends Grafana with real OPC UA interaction capabilities.
It is not a standalone plugin.
It is a direct extension of OOUAMiddleware, bringing its runtime logic into Grafana.
Core capabilities
Multiple Data Retrieval Strategies
Access data using the right strategy for your use case:
- Aggregated History
- Raw History
- Real-Time Subscription
- Scheduled Polling
- Adaptive Mode
OPC UA Command Panel
Write values directly to OPC UA systems:
- type-aware controls
- numeric precision handling
- boolean command interface
- safe user interaction
OPC UA Diagnostic Panel
Understand system behavior:
- status codes
- runtime diagnostics
- communication insights
- troubleshooting support
Powered by OOUAMiddleware
The Grafana extension is only the visible layer.
All runtime logic is handled by OOUAMiddleware:
- OPC UA communication
- data modeling
- execution behavior
- performance optimization
Use cases
Commissioning & Testing
Interact with OPC UA systems in real-time during commissioning.
Write values, validate behavior, and diagnose issues directly from dashboards.
Rapid Prototyping
Build industrial dashboards with full interaction capabilities without SCADA complexity.
Industrial Debugging
Analyze system behavior with full access to live and historical data, combined with diagnostic tools.
Advanced Monitoring & Control
Combine visualization, control, and diagnostics in a single unified interface.
What makes OOUA different
OOUA is not a simple Grafana connector. It is an industrial OPC UA runtime extension built on top of OOUAMiddleware.
- Native OPC UA runtime (not a wrapper)
- Multi-strategy data access
- Controlled write from Grafana
- Diagnostic visibility
- High-performance C++ backend
- Extension of a full industrial middleware
OOUA is not a SCADA.
It is a lightweight industrial extension for Grafana.
It brings interaction, control, and understanding to your data.
