Nodes in AlarmWorX64 Logger

Each node represents a computer or system on the network that is configured to run one or more of the named logger configurations in the active AlarmWorX64 Logger configuration database. When the logger executable is run, it looks for its network computer name in the list of nodes to determine which logger configuration(s) to run. If a logger cannot find its computer name in the list of nodes, it will run the default configuration.

 

Note: If you want the local machine to run one or more non-default alarm logger configurations, you can use "anonymous" as the node name instead of specifying the actual node name.

 

To add a new node to a configuration:

  1. Right-click the Nodes tree and select the Add Node command from the context menu. The New Node form appears.

  2. Enter the name of the network node in the Name text box.

  3. Right click the node and select the Add Node Configuration command.

  4. Select the configuration that will be connected to the node from the Configuration Name drop-down menu.

  5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to add any additional configurations to your node.

  6. Click the Apply button.
