Audit & Event Caching

If a situation occurs where the FactoryTalk AssetCentre server is offline for a period of time, audit and event messages are not lost. The FactoryTalk AssetCentre client will cache all log messages from the local computer, then push the messages up to the AssetCentre server when a connection is re-established. The cache limitation is 4GB. The FactoryTalk AssetCentre client does not need to be active (i.e., open) for the cached logs to be sent to the server.

In versions prior to v6.00, if a long-term absence of connection to the FactoryTalk AssetCentre server occurs, it is possible for this cache file to grow too large to synchronize using the default connection. See Knowledgebase Document ID: QA26565 - RSVCHOST Consuming 50-90% Processor on FactoryTalk AssetCentre Client for a resolution. v6.00 of FactoryTalk AssetCentre resolves this problem.
