Setting up message routing

When you set up message routing, you specify where messages associated with a
particular audience and severity will be logged.

For example, you can specify that tag write messages logged for the Developer audience
are sent to the local log, to the Diagnostics list, or to neither destination.

All messages are logged as Error, Warning, or Information, with the audience Operator.
The exception is tag write messages, which are logged as Information and Audit, with the
audiences Developer and Secure.

For more information about audience and severity, see “Message categories” on
page 15-3.

For details about message routing options, click Help in the Diagnostics Setup tool.

Logging to a central database

In addition to logging information locally on each computer, you can set up FactoryTalk
Diagnostics to log to a central, ODBC-compliant database.

If messages for a particular combination of audience and severity are not routed to a destination,
they will not be logged.
