Extended Event Archiving System Configuration
PlantScape Server and Client Configuration Guide 389
The following table provides a description of each extended event archiving
status.
Status Description
OK The extended event archiving system is operating as required.
Overload The system is receiving events at a faster rate than it is configured to copy
them into the online extended event file. This might happen in a peak
traffic period, if the number of events being received during the extended
event collection cycle period is greater than the extended event collection
throttle value. The system should recover from this overload state when
the rate of receiving events falls below the collection throttle value. If the
overload status stays on permanently, or for prolonged, frequent periods,
the collection throttle value needs to be increased as the number of events
being generated is too great for the system to continually process.
Failed A required archive to tape has not been performed and the online
extended event file has filled up again. The online events cannot be copied
to the archive file because the system will not overwrite the existing file
until it is archived to tape. The Failed alarm will be generated at every
collection cycle period until the file is archived to tape. After this archive
has been done, the system will copy the online extended event file to the
archive file and indicate that another archive needs to be performed. The
system will resume collection of events into the online extended event file.
The second archive must be done before the online file has filled up,
otherwise the failed alarm will be generated again.
Full Disk When there is not enough free space on the hard disk to store events, the
system will stop collecting events and the status will become “Full Disk”.
A “Disk Space Error” alarm will be generated when this happens.
Copy Mode Valid for redundant systems only. If the backup system has been off-line
for some reason, then the backup system will not have all of the events in
it’s online event file. When the backup system comes back online, the
online event file is copied to it from the primary system. At this time no
events can be stored in the primary system’s online event file. The status
of the archiving system becomes “Copy Mode” during the time that the
online event file is being copied to the backup system.
