Configuring a Summary Action

If you only need scheduled data summaries, you should instead use summary tags and replication. However, if you want to trigger summaries based on events in history, you must use the event subsystem. For more information on configuring replication, see Managing and Configuring Replication.

To configure a summary action

1. In the Action Type list, select Summary.

   

2. To add a new summary operation, click Add and define the operation. For more information, see Adding a Summary Operation.

3. To assign analog or discrete tags to a summary operation, select the summary operation in the list and then click Tags. For more information on adding a summary tag, see Assigning a Tag to a Summary Operation.

4. To delete a summary action, select the summary operation in the window and then click Delete.

5. To clear the window of all summary operations, click Clear All.

6. To modify a summary action, select the summary operation in the window and then click Properties. For more information on the dialog box that appears, see Adding a Summary Operation.

   If you modify a summary operation, you may see inconsistencies between old summary data and new summary data. You can not save the modified summary operation if its criteria is identical to an existing summary operation associated with the current event tag.

7. (Optional) In the Post Detector Delay box, type the amount of time, in milliseconds, that must elapse after an event is detected before the event action can be executed.
