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.
