The System Log monitors Project Users' Actions in the Project Manager. All actions in the Project Manager are recorded and can be reported.
· Log In
· Log Out
· Start Node
· Stop Node
· Start View
· Start Draw
· Download database to Node
· Download Graphics
· Create or Delete SCADA Node
· Create or Delete a Project
· Log Data Maintenance modification
These can be sorted and filtered by Time, Date, computer, node and IP addresses.
An HTML report is displayed in the Web Browser. This report can be copied and pasted into EXCEL, Word or other office applications.
The System Log allows you to remotely monitor User Login, Start Node, Stop Node, View logins, Draw users, download database to SCADA Node, download Graphics to SCADA node, Restart SCADA node, etc. The System Log monitors connections to the Project Node (Web Server) and actions performed from the Project Manager. These are searchable by date, time, IP Address of the Client, etc. The System Log shows actions by Project Users. (Note – use the System Action Log to monitor Power User, General User, and Restricted User actions on the SCADA node, e.g. setpoint changes, auto/manual, start/stop equipment).
By selecting either custom search criteria or All Records, a report is generated (sample report shown below).
