FactoryTalk Diagnostics records activity, status, warning, and error messages generated during the design, management, and operation of a FactoryTalk system.

The FactoryTalk Diagnostics service includes a Diagnostics Setup editor, a Diagnostics Viewer, and a local log on each computer where the FactoryTalk Services Platform is installed. Other custom logging destinations are also available. For example, the FactoryTalk AssetCentre software product provides customized FactoryTalk audit logs.

To set up options for logging destinations and to filter the types of messages logged on the local computer, use
