140 Reporting
A sample content of a logging interval template file is shown below:
• device_attributes is a list of drive attributes that determine the drives to which the
template is applied.
• Possible attributes are: category for the category of the device, sw_pkg for the
SW package, sw_appl for the SW application.
• Values for these attributes are usually shown on the device front page and you
can use wild cards, for example, *(asterisk).
• If you do not specify any attributes, the template is applied to all devices.
• rules is a list of rules that define the parameters and values.
• param_id defines the index of the logged parameter, eg, "12.34
• unit defines the engineering unit of the monitored parameter, eg, "V" or "mA"
• either param_id, unit or both rules must be specified or the specific rule will not be
applied to any parameter.
• interval, signal_name and log_only_when_changed specify values that are applied
to the log interval of time, signal name and the Log only when changed selection of
the previously specified parameters.
• interval can be one of these values: “monitor”, “minute”, “5minutes”, “hour”, “day”
and “none”.
• signal_name can be any valid string.
• log_only_when_changed is true or false.
• from firmware 2.23 onwards, you can set fallback to true or false. By default the
fallback is false. If the fallback is set to true and there is a parameter that does not fit to
the primary interval (interval attribute), the NETA-21 tires to set the logging interval of
a matching parameter to the next available (lower frequency) interval during the
template run. It is possible that all intervals are fully used, in which case the parameter
is not logged at all.
• from firmware 2.23 onwards, priority can be set to 1 or 2 (default: 2) and the setting is
used to define whether the parameter interval setting overrides the intervals in other
templates.
