Setting up alarm priorities and history logging

To enable alarm and event history logging on the computer running the Tag Alarm and
Event Server, select the check box, Enable history, as shown in the next illustration.

If you enable logging, you must specify a database definition for the server. For more
information, see “Setting up alarm and event history logging” on page 12-31.

Optionally, you can set up server-assigned priority values for the alarm server. To modify
the severity range, change values in the Low boxes only. Priorities defined at an alarm
server override the system-wide settings held at the FactoryTalk Directory.

The Redundancy tab provides settings for defining a secondary server.

To override priority
settings at the
FactoryTalk Directory,
select this check box.

To modify the severity
range for a priority,
change the value in
the Low boxes.

To enable history
logging, select this
check box, and then
select an existing
database definition.
