Ignition SCADA to Azure Data Lake - Data Collection

Hi Team,

I am looking for some solution to transfer/copy data from Ignition SCADA to Azure Data Lake Storage.

Is there any connector I can use to establish this connection and allow Operations/Machine data flow into Azure Cloud?

During my research, I found that if the REST API is enabled at the ignition end, there is a possibility to connect via webservices? Can you provide any details or documentation around this ?

Thanks,

Nalini Bhavaraju.

    Hi Nalini Bhavaraju,

    Thanks for reaching out in Microsoft Q&A forum,

    No direct "Ignition-to-ADLS" connector exists, but Microsoft provides solid official services to get your SCADA operations/machine data flowing reliably into Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2.

    Here's how, focusing on native Azure tools:

    • Azure Data Factory's HTTP connector is perfect for your REST API research it pulls JSON/XML directly from Ignition's enabled WebDev/Sepasoft endpoints and copies it as Parquet/CSV files to ADLS, with built-in scheduling, retries, and partitioning. For real-time streaming, send data to Azure Event Hubs (via Ignition MQTT if available), then use Stream Analytics to land it in ADLS as optimized Parquet—no code needed.​
    • Both handle high-volume OT data securely with Managed Identities. The REST path confirms your finding: expose endpoints in Ignition, point ADF's HTTP source at them (supports auth/certs), and sink to ADLS.
    • REST/HTTP: Create ADF HTTP dataset → Copy to ADLS → Test with your Ignition URL​
    • Streaming: Event Hubs capture → Stream Analytics output to ADLS
