Event Logging Service (ELS)

The Event Logging Service (ELS) is the CygNet Software service that maintains a journal of system events by logging system-generated events and user-defined events. There are four types of events: service, operations, alarms, and external.

Event Type Description

Service

Service events are issued from CygNet services regarding tasks such as startup, shutdown, etc.

Operations

Operations events are issued from current value services in response to operations control messages (such as a UIS command).

Alarms

Alarm events are issued from the Common Alarm Service regarding set, reset, and acknowledgment of alarms for individual points.

External

External events are those events that have been manually entered to the ELS.

See Alarm Event Logging Service (ELSALM) and Logging for more information.
