• Program

  Name of the program associated with buffering messages displayed.

• Message

  The fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the machine sending a message as determined by an application.

• Originating OS User

  The user sending a message as determined by an application.

• Originating PI User

  The authenticated PI user sending a message as determined by an application.

• Priority

  An integer between 1 and 10 (1 being the most important - "highest priority") that is used by an application to define the order in which a message condition should be handled relative to other messages.

• Process Host

  Domain name of the machine sending a message.

• Process OS User

  The authenticated user of the application which is logging the message.

• Process PI User

  The authenticated PI user associated with a message being logged.

• Process ID

  ID of the process that sent the message.

• ID

• Source 1

  Log messages sent with the PI-SDK automatically send the application name with each message. When a programmer wishes to further identify the cause or contributors to a condition a message is reporting, these extra source fields can be supplied with a string value. By convention the sources are ordered going from general to specific, Source1 being the most general, Source2 to being the next level of specificity and so on.

• Source 2

  See above.

For detailed descriptions of these fields, refer to the "SendLogMessage" method in the PI SDK user guide.
