FactoryTalk Historian SE uses the FactoryTalk Diagnostics
component of the FactoryTalk Services Platform to record messages
sent by the FactoryTalk Historian SE server. In the event of a
message, the FactoryTalk server logs it in the FactoryTalk
Diagnostics service.
If the FactoryTalk Historian SE server cannot connect to the
FactoryTalk Diagnostics service, the server will log the messages in
the Windows Event log and continue to reconnect to FactoryTalk
Diagnostics service. Once the server reconnects to the FactoryTalk
Diagnostics service, a message is logged indicating that some
messages may not have been logged and will advise you to check the
local Windows Event log.
