Category Settings

Use the Category Settings to edit or delete Categories and Sub-Categories.

AVEVA System Monitor monitors a broad range of health data targets, including System Platform Runtime Attributes, AVEVA System Platform Management Console Logger, AVEVA Application Services (formerly Wonderware), Microsoft SQL Server, Computer Performance Monitor Counters and Microsoft Windows Services.

The grid displays the Categories. Expand the category to view the Sub-category associated with the selected category.

The Wonderware category is selected by default, and the Platform, Engine, and Device Integration sub-categories are displayed.

However, AVEVA System Monitor provides a set of common Category and Sub-Category entries out of the box, which covers the monitoring requirements of the most demanding enterprise.

   The Edit Category window appears.

6. Editing and deleting a sub-category follow the same actions as described in Category management. If the Data Provider and/or Email Notification fields are specified, the entry overrides the respective setting in the parent category.
