A standalone desktop application targeted to advanced Ignition users. Features various tools to read and access Ignition's myriad data export formats.
Parses Ignition thread dump files, in JSON or plain text format. Multiple thread dumps from the same system can be opened at once and will be automatically aggregated together.
Opens Ignition .idb files (SQLite DBs) and displays a list of tables and allows arbitrary SQL queries to be executed.
Has special handling for:
- Metrics files
- System logs
- Images in the configuration DB
Open one (or multiple) wrapper.log files. If the output format is Ignition's default, they will be automatically parsed and presented in the same log view used for system logs. If multiple files are selected, an attempt will be made to sequence them and present as a single view.
Opens a zip file (including Ignition files like .gwbk or .modl). Allows opening other tools against the files within
the zip, including the .idb files in a gateway backup, or the files in a diagnostics bundle.
Opens the HSQLDB file that contains the Store and Forward disk cache. Attempts to parse the Java-serialized data within into its object representation. If unable to deserialize (e.g. due to a missing class), falls back to a string explanation of the serialized data.
Note: If you encounter any issues with missing classes, please file an issue.
Opens the Java serialized .alarms_$timestamp files Ignition uses to persist alarm information between Gateway
restarts.
Only works for alarm caches from 8.1.20 and up gateways.
Note: If you encounter any issues with missing classes, please file an issue.
Validates a Gateway Network Diagram, as exported from the Gateway webpage (see instructions below). You can load from a .json or .txt file on disk, or paste directly from the clipboard. Click the 'View Diagram in Browser' button to launch the diagram visualization in a local web browser.
- Set the
gateway.routes.status.GanRouteslogger to DEBUG. - Return to the gateway network status page and view the live graph.
- Return to the logs and copy the JSON to the clipboard or save it to a local file.
Opens Ignition XML files in a simple text view.
Has special handling for:
- Logback configuration files, with a special interactive editor
- Store and Forward quarantine files, with an attempt made to deserialize any Java-serialized data within
- Download the installer for your OS from the Downloads page: https://inductiveautomation.github.io/kindling/download.html
- Run the Kindling application.
- Open a supported file - either drag and drop directly onto the application window, click the
+icon in the tab strip, or select a tool to open from the menubar.
Preferences are stored in ~/.kindling/preferences.json and can be modified within the application from the menu bar.
Kindling uses Java Swing as a GUI framework, but is written almost exclusively in Kotlin, an alternate JVM language.
Gradle is used as the build tool, and will automatically download the appropriate Gradle and JDK version (via the
Gradle wrapper). Most IDEs (Eclipse, IntelliJ) should figure out the project structure automatically. You can directly
run the main class in your IDE (MainPanel), or
you can run the application via./gradlew run at the command line.
Contributions of any kind (additional tools, polish to existing tools, test files) are welcome.

Kindling is not an official Inductive Automation product and is provided as-is with no warranty.
