[Alarm]FutureMessages

Sequence of event records that have a time stamp with a date and time in the future can be stored historically. Typically, records with future dates and times relate forecasted data or data from a device that has different time settings, such as an outstation that has not had its clock set correctly.

You can use this parameter to define the lifetime in weeks for future messages. It defines the maximum amount of time in the future that is permitted for future messages. Any record that has a time stamp that is further in the future than the defined time is not stored historically.

For example, if the current date is October 1st 2021 and the FutureMessages is set to 1 week, any message that has a time stamp between October 2nd and October 7th will be stored historically. A message that has a time stamp beyond October 7th will be lost as the date of the future data is further in the future than the defined Future Message Life.

Note: This parameter can also be applied to a specific cluster or alarm server process. For more information, see Configure Alarm Parameters for a Specific Cluster or Process.
