9410 series Logging
Event log overview
Your meter records events produced by the meter’s ION modules or external meter
events.
Meter events, such as meter configuration or changes to I/O state, have priority values
associated with them, so you can control what events are logged. Each event has a
priority based on its type and severity, and for most events you can configure the
priority. The event log records the date and time of the event, along with relevant
details about the event.
Your meter’s event log can be viewed through the meter’s display and ION Setup.
Event log data example:
NOTE: This example is representative only, and your meter’s event log may
appear different than shown.
See the ION Reference, available from www.usa.siemens.com/pds, for more
information about the Event Log Controller module and other ION modules.

User triggered event log entries
The Event Log includes an association between security-related events and the
username that was logged in to the meter during the event.
When a user produces an event, such as a reset, successful or unsuccessful login
attempts, user lockout or setup change, it is written to the event log. Events created in
standard security through the meter’s display have the username USER0. Events
created in advanced security through the display or ION Setup are associated with the
username that was logged into the meter (USER1 - USER50).
Assigning a designated reader for event log notification
A user can be assigned the role of designated reader for the event log.
When the Designated Reader is configured, an entry in the event log is considered
unread until it has been reviewed or backed up to external storage by the designated
reader. When the designated reader is informed that the event log is nearly full, an
event log review or backup strategy can be implemented before older entries are
overwritten. This feature can assist in ensuring that event log entries are not
overwritten before they can be reviewed. Use ION Setup to select a user to be the
designated reader.
