Hello
I have a chart component with a custom property, I would like to use an alarm with email notification to detect when this value has reached a certain range. I would like to do this without the use of tags.
I was thinking of using the notification pipeline and calling the path of the custom property. Using logic to tell if its in range.
Is this possible?
No, alarms can only be attached to gateway tags. Use tags.
Or use Ignition's scripted email capabilities to set up your own infrastructure.
(Why can you not use tags? What are your underlying requirements?)
I found the solution you mentioned which I think is this
It works well.
So my requirements are not to use tags because, its my understanding they exist in on the gateway level and I would like my tag and data not to be visible. So I use custom properties within a view to store my data.
I may be misinformed, correct me if I'm wrong.
Thank You
Correct.
Why? And note that anything not in the gateway scope ceases to exist when clients are closed. Any functionality that you want to work when no-one is logged in must be in the gateway.
(Also be aware that perspective sessions and their data are entirely accessible from gateway scope by other sessions if programmed to do so. If you have a security or privacy need for this, you've failed.)
Not be visible to who?
