Yes! I am including the credential. I just did not reproduce it here because I did not have a question on it.

Just checking, but the line you mentioned continues past what you wrote here…

 

vctl auth add --address <address of source instance where forwarder is installed> --credentials <publickey of installed forwarder agent>

 

The credentials are what is 100% required.  The address is added protection.

Hi All,

 

I am setting up two volttron instances on the same LAN, both are using ZMQ. I have one main volttron instance on a more performant computer, and one volttron instance running on a Raspberry Pi. Both are running Volttron 9.0

 

I am attempting to set up the Forward Historian, but can not make the connection from the platform on the Raspberry Pi to the main platform. I have followed the instructions in the following documentation: https://volttron.readthedocs.io/en/9.0.1/agent-framework/historian-agents/forwarder/forward-historian.html.

 

Is there something I might be missing? For the step in the documentation that calls for `vctl auth add --address <address of source instance where forwarder is installed>` should the address be in the format 192.168.55.55:22916? Is there a method for me to more productively debug this? 

 

Thank you for your help!
Lazlo
