ControlFLASH and Factory Talk AssetCentre 
Interaction
Introduction
ControlFLASH uses FactoryTalk AssetCentre to log user actions such as flashing 
a device or starting the application. The following information is included in the 
log:
• Windows credentials 
• Device being flashed
• Path to the device being flashed 
• Status of the operation
The following information is also available in the ControlFLASH log file, as it 
was in previous versions.
Information Monitoring
In FactoryTalk-enabled software products, information such as system events and 
user actions are recorded in the Event Log and Audit Log.
Event Log
The Event Log displays database information regarding events that occur in the 
system. Events are generally system-initiated. For example, an upload occurred as 
scheduled, or an alarm condition occurred. Only events that occur in 
FactoryTalk-enabled products are recorded in the Event Log.
Audit Log
The Audit Log displays database information regarding actions that users 
perform in the system, such as editing an RSLogix 5000 project or checking-out a 
file from the FactoryTalk AssetCentre database. Audit records are generated by 
FactoryTalk-enabled products.
