Re: [foxboro] Equipment Power Status in SMDH

Tom,

Turning system monitor information into useful alerts has always been
a weak point in the IA system.  So far I've found exactly 2 ways of
doing what you request.
1) For events that generate a system monitor message, you can collect
those messages, either directly by using a logging application at the
printer port or periodically by collecting system monitor messages
from the historian or /opt/fox/sysmgm/sysmon/smon_log files.  Assuming
you know what messages you want to watch for, you can parse these
messages for the ones you're interested in and write that back as an
object manager variable.
2) Another option is to use the remv/remd utilities from foxwatch to
periodically collect all system monitor data and then parse the
results for the information you are interested in.  I run these weekly
and generate a report (see below) based on the particular data from
the system monitor report I'm interested in.
