Configure an alarm log

An alarm log displays the date and time alarms occurred in your system as well as the state of each alarm.
Viewing the alarm log at runtime requires a database, a configured logger, and the
Alarm Grid
 or
Alarm History Grid
 widget. The
Alarm log grid
 widget displays the alarm event log. The
Alarm Event Log grid
 displays data for each alarm event and alarm state. Each row in the grid depicts a change of state for an alarm event.
