Hi there!


We've had a similar need to this for a SIEMENS-based industrial monitoring project. We've used Zabbix with a custom Python plugin we've developed. 


Your best bet would be an open-source monitoring tool such as Zabbix with a reliable library for OPC-UA to develop from. With that, you can create your own plugin and make it relevant to your requirements. There's such a library for Python in case that is your language of preference.


Zabbix has a Modbus integration in case it would help. For OPC, GitHub is a good place to look for.

Sorry, I'm a little late for this party.


I don't have direct experience with OPC-based monitoring, so the best I can probably do is to echo Faycal's answer.


Zabbix has an extremely flexible data ingestion engine - including MQTT & ModBus.


Again, forgive my lack of knowledge of OPC, but it may also be relevant to say that the Zabbix Agent 2 is a modular Zabbix agent that can be extended. This means that - in line with Faycal's comment, an OPC module could be developed in GO and incorporated into the Zabbix agent itself.


Sorry, I can't add much more to this topic.
