Audit Providers

If FactoryTalk AssetCentre is installed in a system with other FactoryTalk Audit enabled software pieces (such as View SE), it is possible to receive audit messages from them. In order to receive these Audits, it is necessary to install the FactoryTalk AssetCentre desktop client on any computers hosting these software pieces. The FactoryTalk AssetCentre desktop client is responsible for collecting the audit and event messages locally, then passing them on to the FactoryTalk AssetCentre server. See Knowledgebase Document ID: IN25096 - FactoryTalk AssetCentre Client Needed to Receive Audits for more information.

Exempt from this rule are Windows CE based components, such as View ME applications running on Allen-Bradley PanelView Plus devices. See the section below on receiving audits and events from an Allen-Bradley PanelView Plus for more information on this.
