In Unify Publishing Settings, the settings for MQTT and RabbitMQ can be configured. The settings define messages to be published to MQTT or RabbitMQ or both. The prerequisite for this is to set Topics in MQTT and Routing keys in RabbitMQ before configuring and starting the Atlas Copco Data Communication service.

Publishing Settings
Settings	Description
MQTT Settings	MQTT broker must be installed before you can continue with the settings. The broker must support MQTT v5 and QoS level 2 (Exactly Once). For more information on how to install an MQTT broker, see MQTT Overview. MQTT Topics are used in the MQTT ecosystem for the broker to determine which clients receive specific messages. Enable Publish To MQTT Select this checkbox to publish data to an MQTT broker. By default, this checkbox is disabled. When enabled, more settings are available: Broker URL The host where the MQTT broker is installed. A URL must be entered to be able to publish messages to MQTT broker. Username Enter the username for MQTT broker authentication. Leave this field blank, if you use the MQTT broker without authentication configured. Password The password for the broker. Leave this field blank, if you use the MQTT broker without authentication configured. Click VERIFY CONNECTION to update the Verification Status.
RabbitMQ Settings	RabbitMQ must be installed before you can continue with the settings. For more information how to install RabbitMQ, see RabbitMQ Overview. In RabbitMQ, exchanges are used as routing mediators that decide what messages are sent to a queue, multiple queues or discarded. Queues deliver messages to consumers using a FIFO model. Bindings are used by exchanges to route messages to specific queues. Routing keys in RabbitMQ are attached to exchanges to filter specific messages and route them to the bounded queues. Enable RabbitMQ Publishing: Toggles the RabbitMQ publishing settings to be visible. When enabled, the following setting are available: Exchange Name: The name of the RabbitMQ exchange to use. Hostname: The host where RabbitMQ is installed. (This value must be set if the Enable RabbitMQ Publishing checkbox is checked) Username: The username Atlas Copco Data Communication is using when connecting to the RabbitMQ broker. Password: The password Atlas Copco Data Communication is using when connecting to the RabbitMQ broker. Virtual Host: The name of the RabbitMQ virtual host. Port: The port Atlas Copco Data Communication is using when connecting to the RabbitMQ broker. Publish Ack Timeout: Time allowed for message acknowledgment (in seconds). Click VERIFY CONNECTION to update the Verification Status.
Unify V1	The Unify version(s) of the messages that should be published. Applies to both MQTT and RabbitMQ publishing. Currently only Unify V1 is supported. Selected only when Unify is enabled and either MQTT or RabbitMQ is chosen. The available models are: Tools Controller Result with Trace Events Joining Processes

Remote Logging

Settings	Description
Elastic Stack	Enable loggging to Elasticsearch: Enables logging to Elasticsearch. Url: Url to Elasticsearch. Username: Username for Elasticsearch. Password: Password for Elasticsearch. Index: Elasticsearch index. The logs are sent to this index.

Security Settings

In Choose Certificate, select a certificate that will be used for TLS and/or HTTPS.
Click Verify certificate to validate the selected certificate.
In Audit log settings, specify the Location where the logs must be stored. The default location is C:\ProgramData\Atlas Copco\Audit Logs\<service name>\
Audit logs must be protected and must not be changed. By default, only the software has write access to audit log files. Normal users are blocked from accessing or changing these files.

Audit logs must be immutable. Default permissions must be retained. Changing file permissions can affect the integrity of audit data. Responsibility for data changes lies with the customer.

Audit logging is also available through OpenTelemetry (OTEL). OTEL uses the same settings as regular logging. To filter audit logs in OTEL, use: Attributes.LogType: "Audit"

Audit Logs for Atlas Copco Data Communication Installation Configurator will always be in the default location.
After reviewing the settings, click Save and then click Close.
