Alarms in iControl
Logging Acknowledgements as Events
358
In Event Log Viewer, there are columns for previous and new acknowledge statuses.
There is also a column for the user ID which is the IP address of the client. A new log entry is
created for each change in a particular status including changes to the server latch or alarm
acknowledgement. It is possible to query the database for specific acknowledgement
transitions and alarm statuses.
The Alarm State area of the log viewer has an extra field labeled Text, that enables searching
for additional information. For example, the text value of the button that was acknowledged
in iC Web could provide valuable in-context information about the acknowledged channel ID.
Alarm state filter area in Event Log Viewer
In the Alarm state area, the Ellipsis button ( ) allows you to filter with multiple criteria
selected.
Note: By default, the acknowledgement columns do not display in the log viewer.
Note: The system reads multiple criteria as a logical OR (e.g. selecting Critical and
Disabled alarms will yield a single list that includes all Critical alarms and all Disabled
alarms).
