Use the Age Watchdog Summary

The Age Watchdog Summary window shows the Controller the status of points configured in the Age Watchdog application, which monitors certain telemetered points within the RealTime database (RTDB) to determine if they are updated by Omnicomm within an expected time frame. Alarms will appear in the Age Watchdog Summary window to indicate potential problems with the Monitored point

The Age Watchdog Summary can be opened from the Summaries section of the easy eXtended Operator Station (ezXOS) Navigation Menu. Each row shows the name and value path of all points configured with ageWatchdog records, as well as the message, internal state, demand poll setting, point description, and last sample time for the monitored point. The display can be filtered by the name of the point and the internal state. The default message set matches the internal state; however, this message set can be customized.

The Age Watchdog Control panel can be opened for each record shown in the summary. The control panel shows the remote that is associated with the ageWatchdog record, the sampling frequency for the Monitored point in hours and minutes, the time qualifier, and the demand poll timeout. A Controller can control the demand polling for each record, as well as whether or not the record remains enabled in the Age Watchdog application.
