@nathanRona I just did a quick test against test.mosquitto.org and was able to publish and receive JSON with Timestamp based values. I'm posting the JSON config so you can import it and see for yourself. I can't see exactly what is wrong with your setup but this confirms that it does in fact work. In the configuration I'm providing there are 2 data points, when you set the value for one it will publish to the receiving topic of the other.

Thanks
Might add point through API from external prog as well (example phyton)

Found how to set it up, The issue was Tag filter that should be "reception/#" i.w. the # was missing,

Hi @nathanRona sorry you are having such a torrid time getting Mango to upgrade. It seems that the issue is that you have started Mango directly using supervisorctl to launch the java process. Unfortunately this means that Mango cannot upgrade itself. It is the script that launches Mango (ma.sh -> ma-start.sh -> java) that does the unzipping of the new core upgrade file.

I recently created a new script (start-mango.sh) for starting Mango as the old ones were a bit fragile. This script is our new preferred way of launching Mango, we left the old ones so upgraded systems did not break.

I updated the help documentation here - https://help.infiniteautomation.com/linux-installation

What Linux distribution are you using? Does it use systemd?
