I am trying to record which user is passed the authentication challenge in an alarm journal table. Basically saying “User X changed system to Auto”. I have the authentication challenge working. I have the alarm working. But I cannot combine the two. It seems the alarm setup is gateway bound, and the authentication challenge is session bound. Is there a way to pass the username at the authentication challenge through to the alarm display path?
This functionality is what you would use the audit log for, not the alarm system.
Thank you for the info. I briefly looked into the audit log but found it a bit complicated for my liking. But I will look further into it as I would like to have the ability to log which user is performing which action.
This is exactly what the audit log is for. It logs every tag write performed by the system to a log. It’s not in the nice friendly format you’re wanting, but you can also log your own events if you really want that uses whatever wording you want.
