Logs

Event Log

This log shows database information regarding events that occur in the system. Events are generally system initiated, for example an upload occurred, or a scheduled task completed. Event records are generated by FactoryTalk-enabled products.

Audit Log

This log shows database information regarding actions users perform in the system, such as making edits to an Logix Designer project or opening or closing such a software product. Audit records are generated by FactoryTalk-enabled products.

Diagnostics and Health Log

The Diagnostics and Health Log provides information about the condition of automation devices. For example, a monitoring software product, such as RSNetWorxMD, detects a problem with a device on the automation network. It reports the problem and logs the information in the Diagnostics and Health Log.

Initially, only previously existing data appears in the Diagnostics and Health Log if that data was imported from the RSMACC Network Health Solution. This data is not updated by FactoryTalk AssetCentre. New data is logged in the Diagnostics and Health Log only if RSNetWorx MD is installed on your system.

FactoryTalk AssetCentre uses the same FactoryTalk Directory server with FactoryTalk Alarms and Events. When installing AssetCentre Diagnostics Connector, FactoryTalk AssetCentre will log Automatic Device Descriptive Analytics (ADDA) events from FactoryTalk Alarms and Events and displays them as Diagnostics and Health logs. FactoryTalk View Studio Enterprise v12.00.00 and Studio 5000 Logix Designer v33.00.00 are required to be installed for this function. The Automatic Device Descriptive Analytics (ADDA) logs are not editable.
