History extensions

Extensions come in different types to match the data type of the component and the collection method desired. You can add an extension to a component by dragging the extension onto your Property Sheetor onto your Nav side bar pane from the history palette.

Property Value Description
Status read-only Indicates the condition of the network, device or component at the last check.

{ok} indicates that the component is licensed and polling successfully.

{down} indicates that the last check was unsuccessful, perhaps because of an incorrect property, or possibly loss of network connection.

{disabled} indicates that the Enable property is set to false.

{fault} indicates another problem. Refer to Fault Cause for more information.

Fault Cause read-only Indicates the reason why a system object (network, device, component, extension, etc.) is not working properly (in fault). This property is empty unless a fault exists.
Enabled true or false Activates (true) and deactivates (false) the object (network, device, point, component, table, schedule, descriptor, etc.).
Active Period Days of the week: All (default), Time range: 12:00:00 AM to 12:00:00 AM (default) Use to specify (via selectable check boxes) the days of the week as well as start and end times (via configurable properties hours:minutes:seconds) for data collection.

Precision 32 bit (default), 64 bit Allows you to select 32 bit or 64 bit options for the history data logging. The 64 bit option allows for higher level of precision but consumes more memory.
