Hi,  
I am trying to implement MQTT connection with Ignition , I had followed the below link  
([Managing files with MQTT Transmission and MQTT Engine - MQTT Modules for Ignition 8.x - Confluence](https://docs.chariot.io/display/CLD80/Managing+files+with+MQTT+Transmission+and+MQTT+Engine))

However I am getting an error as **Transmission Client is Not Connected** with status code as **405**.

MQTT and Ignition are on same machine and with MQTT broker I am able to have a connection.

Any leads will be helpful.

Thanks

I would recommend starting with this tutorial: [Getting Started: Two Ignition Architecture - MQTT Modules for Ignition 8.x - Confluence](https://docs.chariot.io/display/CLD80/Getting+Started%3A+Two+Ignition+Architecture)

It covers the basics on establishing a connection and sending tag data. It also shows how the Transmitter and tag tree should be created which is a prerequisite to sending file data.

This may also be useful: [MQTT Transmission Transmitters and Tag Trees - MQTT Modules for Ignition 8.x - Confluence](https://docs.chariot.io/display/CLD80/MQTT+Transmission+Transmitters+and+Tag+Trees)

By mistake I had deleted Edge Node folder from Ignition Tag browser.  
I am trying to create the folder, but its not getting created.

See this doc from Inductive Automation: [Creating Tags - Ignition User Manual 8.1 - Ignition Documentation](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Creating+Tags). Note you can not create tags or folders manually in the MQTT Engine tag provider as it is a ‘managed tag provider’. Tags and folders can only be created there by the MQTT Engine module itself based on incoming Sparkplug data.
