Exclude Tag Write From Audit Log

Ignition
1

Hello,

Is there a way to choose to exclude a tag-write that is part of a script from the audit log?

I created a heartbeat signal in Ignition that using a gateway timer, but now ever 5 seconds when the bit switches a new audit entry is created. This has caused our audit log to be flooded with tag-writes we have no interest in logging.

I'm looking for a way to either exclude a tag-write from the audit log or a different way to implement a heartbeat signal in Ignition that won't cause an audit log entry.

Thanks!

If you're writing to an OPC tag, write directly to the OPC tag rather than using an intermediate Ignition OPC tag. You'll need to specify the device and OPC path like you would with an Ignition OPC tag configuration, but this writes directly over OPC.

Are you running 8.1.42? This version is logging all script tag writes into the audit log which had not been like that before. It is causing us issues as well but it has been fixed/removed in higher versions.

Yes, running 8.1.42. I'll try updating the GW. Thanks!
