FactoryTalk Diagnostics Setup Help

FactoryTalk®

Diagnostics helps answer the question, "Why did that happen?"

FactoryTalk® Diagnostics

collects and provides access to a global store of time-and-date stamped messages.

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

Diagnostics Setup

.

To review diagnostics messages, use the

Diagnostics Viewer

. Diagnostics Viewer can be used to view both local messages and messages retrieved from logs on multiple computers.

FactoryTalk View SE

,

FactoryTalk Alarms and Events

, and other

FactoryTalk

software products can send messages to both the local log and the

FactoryTalk

audit log on one computer. When settings options for a particular logging destination, the options affect the log on this computer that any number of

FactoryTalk

products may be using. Likewise, when configuring message routing options, the filtering options selected affect the types of messages routed from all

FactoryTalk

products that send messages to that destination.
