The Alarm Console is where you view open alarms. The OrionAlarmArchiveProvider includes views for displaying
archived alarms. You can also use a BQL query.
Your file alarm database contains open alarms. Your remote
Orion alarm database contains archived alarms.
- To view archived alarms, double–click OrionAlarmService, click the drop-down list in the upper
right corner of the view and select Alarm Db View.
The
Alarm History view opens.
The drop-down list indicates all the information
this view can contain.
- To query the Orion alarm database, use the openAlarms or
ackPending extents.
For example:
alarm:archive|bql:select * where source like '%/control/temp/BooleanChangeOfStateAlarmExt'
alarm:archive|bql:select * where (sourceState =
'normal' or sourceState = 'alert') and ackState = 'acked'
"alarm:archive|bql: select * where source = OrdList
'slot:/control/temp'"
For any query looking for both open and closed alarms, you
must run it against both the local database and the archive. Archived
records are part of the openAlarms. For example, neither of the following
queries results in any records from the archive alarm:
alarm:|bql:select * from openAlarms
alarm:archive|bql:select
* from openAlarms
