View status information

Using the Management Console, you can monitor five main areas of the system: general system status, data acquisition, client connections, history blocks, and legacy error messages. These items appear in the console tree.

• If you click Status, the details pane shows the overall status for the AVEVA Historian, such as whether the server is running, the number of system errors, and the time since the last startup.

• If you click Data Acquisition, the details pane shows each data source (IOServer\topic or other client) that is supplying the Historian with data.

• If you click Replication, the details pane shows a list of servers to which this Historian is replicating data. On the server actually receiving the data, there will be a corresponding entry under its Data Acquisition node.

  For more information on tag replication, see Manage and configure replication.

• If you click Clients, the details pane shows the status of all clients that are currently connected to the Historian.

• If you click History Blocks, the details pane shows a list of all of the history blocks stored on the Historian computer.

  For more information on administering history blocks, see Manage partitions and history blocks.

  For more information on monitoring the general status, data acquisition, client connections, and the system message log, see Monitoring the system.

If you have multiple Historian servers registered in the console, make sure that you select the server you want to manage before you right-click in the tree to select a short-cut menu command.
