Alarm log grids

Log alarms in two types of grids.

  • Alarm log grid. Displays a log of alarm events recorded in a database by an event logger such as the Alarm events logger. The Alarm log grid displays alarm information and alarm status in a table. Every row in the table corresponds to a change in alarm status.
  • Alarm log grid with filter. Displays the logged data in the same manner as the Alarm log grid, but allows you to filter the alarms temporarily.

An example alarm grid may display the following columns of information:
