Configuring the Alarm Summary and History Log Files
The SmartServer stores alarm summary and alarm history log files on its flash disk. The alarm
summary log file lists all active alarms received by the Alarm Notifiers. The alarm history log file lists
all the alarm notification events that have been generated by the Alarm Notifier.
You can use the alarm summary and alarm history icons on the top and bottom of the right side of the
Alarm Notifier: Configure Web page to configure the alarm summary and alarm history log files.
You can select in which format the log files are stored (CSV or binary); set the maximum file size,
which sets the maximum number of entries that can be stored in the log file; and specify where the log
files are stored on the flash disk.
Note: The SmartServer does not limit how much alarm data can be logged; however, you must
maintain at least 1,024 KB of free space on the SmartServer server flash disk.
You can click the alarm summary and alarm summary icons to open the Alarm Notifier: Summary
and Alarm Notifier: History Web pages, respectively. For more information on how to use these
Web pages to acknowledge and clear the alarms reported by the Alarm Notifier, see the next section,
Automatically Transferring Alarm Logs.
You can have the SmartServer automatically transfer alarm log files (binary or CSV format) to a
remote server and extract the selected data to a .csv or XML file. For more information on how to do
this, see Automatically Transferring Data Logs in Chapter 8.
