[foxboro] Unpublished Tip: Sysmon Alarms to a log file

I have run across an interesting yet unpublished feature of I/A, so I
thought I would pass it on.

Foxboro versions > 6.2 have a built in mechanism to log System Alarm
messages to an ASCII file on the Sysmon host AW.

Here is the procedure (perform on the sysmon host AW):
1. Create the directory /opt/fox/sysmgm/sysmon (do not confuse with
/usr/fox/sysmgm/sysmon)
2. cd /opt/fox/sysmgm/sysmon
3. touch smon_log

Any new System monitor alarms will now be appended to the smon_log file.
I have only tried it on AW51s, so I m unsure if this also works for AW70s.

Cool, eh?  I thought so.
