log all users actions and system actions

Post by Ladrone »

HI all,
I'm looking for a panel that log all events that occur to the system.

I'm not understand if the eventscreen support it or i have to use the audit panel.
Can someone explain me what is the difference between the two panels and what's the best choice for solve my problem?
Can you also explain what configuration i have to do for implement the eventscreen and/or audit panel?

Thanks in advance
Leonado

Hello,

if data shall be archived you have to add an _archive config at the dp elements.
For the Audit Trail panel you have to use special Audit Trail functions to generate entries in the database which can be read with this functionality.
The Event Screen can display current value changes and historical data (if archived).

For details concerning archiving, the Audit Trail panel and the Event Screen please have a look at the WinCC OA online help:
Module PARA --> Data point configs --> _archive (Archiving)
System Management --> Diagnostics --> Alert and event panel
Special functions --> Audit Trail.

Which choise is the best depends on the requirements you have.
Without detailed information this question cannot be answered.

Sorry for my bad explanation of the problem, I'm looking for a panel that record and store all users action on the scada.

I try to use the event panel, but that panel record all events of the system.
Is it possible to display on the event panel only the ui manager state change and not drivers managers state changes?

Using audit trail is it possible to archive the data register by the audit trail panel? (I found in the help that is possible, but after a first time that i configure the archive manager, i delete it from the system managements --> database --> database settings, and i'm not been able to configure that manager again!)

thanks
Leonardo

Hello,

it would be possilble to use a DPE-filter in the AEScreen which filters those elements which can be set by the user.

At the standard AEScreen it is not possible to filter for messages based on a specific manager type and manager number.
The queries allow this functionality but it is not available as filter setting in the panel.
You could make your own panel to display requested data or try to modify the AEScreen.

If you have deleted an archive from the list it should be possible to add it again using the panels for the configuration of the value archives.
When using the Audit Trail feature you have to use CTRL functions to create entries which will be shown in the Audit Trail panel. If only a normal dpSet() is used no entries will be created.
