[volttron-dev] Challenges using the Forward Historian

[Lazlo Paul <lazlopaul17@xxxxxxxxx>]

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
