AVEVA Insight supports Wonderware Application Server events captured through Wonderware Historian replication or the Wonderware Historian SDK. (For more information on Application Server events, see the Wonderware Server Platform 2017 documentation.)

When you chart tags with associated events on a line chart, those events will be displayed as part of your line chart.

Chart showing events

On a line chart, AVEVA Insight can display:

Alarm highlight

Alarm state
The alarm state is displayed as a highlighted line that begins with an Alarm.Set event and ends with an Alarm.Clear event.

Note: If either the Alarm.Set or Alarm.Clear for an alarm occurs outside the displayed timeframe, the highlighted are will still display. However, if both Alarm.Set and Alarm.Clear for the same alarm occur outside of the displayed timeframe, the highlight will not be displayed.

Alarm acknowledge events icon

Alarm Acknowledge event
When an alarm is acknowledged, that point in time is marked by an Alarm Acknowledge icon (left).

Event_icon

Application Write event
When the application records an event, it is marked with an Application Write icon (shown left).

User write icon

User Write event
When a user records an event, it is marked with a User Write icon (shown left).

User write secured_icon

User Write Secured event
When a User.Write.Secured event occurs, it is marked with a User Write Secured icon (shown left)

User write verified icon

User Write Verified event
When a User.Write.Verified event occurs, it is marked with a User Write Verified icon (shown left)

Multiple events icon

Multiple events
To reduce clutter, if there are too many events to display neatly for the timeframe presented, AVEVA Insight uses the Multiple Events icon (left). This occurs if any tag displayed has more than 30 events for the timeframe shown.

If you zoom in, you will see individual event and alarm icons. If you zoom out far enough, the Multiple Events icon disappears.

Note: Events can appear in the display area for a chart even if no tag data is available.

When the displayed timeframe includes one or more tags with more than 30 events, individual event icons are replaced with Multiple Events icons.

Chart showing multiple event icons

If more than 100 events per tag occur within the displayed timeframe, you'll see no icons Instead, you'll see a toast notification saying there are too many events to display. In this case, you can zoom in to see more events details.
