Note: The following information refers to remote applications only (see Introduction to Remote Applications).
VTS logs more than just alarm data in its Alarms.log files. Also stored is data related to events concerning security, operator control actions, remote configuration, and the Alarm Dialer system.
What Remote Configuration Actions Are Logged?
VTS logs events related to remote configuration to the alarm history. The following actions will result in an entry in the History alarm list:
• Updating one or more files
• Adding a tag
• Copying a tag
• Modifying the properties of a tag
• Deleting a tag
• Deleting a file (using the Remove File button in the Remote Configuration dialog)
What Information is Logged?
For each remote configuration-related event in the History list, the following information is displayed:
• The name of the PC on which the security event occurred (e.g. [WorkstationX])
• The name of the tag or file that was affected by the remote configuration action
• The username of the user who was logged on when the security event occurred (e.g. JSmith)
What Format is used in the History List for Remote Configuration-related Events?
• The Priority for remote configuration-related events is always "Event"
• The Area for remote configuration-related events is always "OperatorLog"
• Workstation names are enclosed in square brackets (e.g. [WorkstationX])
• Config.ini labels are used for specific remote configuration events
An example of a remote configuration-related event entry in the History list is displayed below:
