Collecting Performance Data Chapter 3
For user-defined manual events you can enter additional
information about manual configuration in the event name.
The properties of manual events are the same like for the
user-defined events (page 85).
For more information on manual events, refer to "Manual Events
(page
88 )" in the Configuration Console online help.
The Recycle Bin is a system-generated category similar to the
categories for available or running events. It is used to hold events
that are no longer used to collect performance parameter data, but
still have historical data in the database that may be used in reports.
The Recycle Bin is only displayed in the Performance Parameters
Events tree if historical data exists.
When you modify a set of performance parameters, FactoryTalk
Metrics disables the existing events for the modified set, and creates
new events for the category. Then it checks if any data has been
logged for the disabled events. If no data has been logged, the events
are deleted. If there is some historical data for the event, the event is
moved to the Recycle Bin.
