Receiving Audits and Events from a Computer Member of the FactoryTalk Directory

As of version 9.00 of FactoryTalk AssetCentre, diagnostic information (audit and event logs) can be collected from computers that are part of the FactoryTalk Directory where FactoryTalk AssetCentre is configured without having to install the FactoryTalk AssetCentre desktop client. This is possible by installing the FactoryTalk Diagnostics Connector option, which installs the FactoryTalk AssetCentre common components responsible for driving diagnostic information into the FactoryTalk AssetCentre system from computers without the FactoryTalk AssetCentre desktop client. Computers from which diagnostics information collection is desired must be part of the FactoryTalk Directory where FactoryTalk AssetCentre is configured. For more information, refer to Knowledgebase Document ID: QA41730 – FactoryTalk AssetCentre Diagnostics Connector.
