Hi Everybody,
You may remember me from such posts as

Isn't there a package on cassandra, called message manager?  Which is an 
alarm collector.  A classy bit of software, good work Ted Jirik fella.  It 
saves messages in a text file daily which you could then upload in to a DMBS 
preferably MySQL and then use Apache and PHP to serve them out again.

We can pull X-windows from any of our I/A workstations, so we haven't tried
anything special beyond that to display live alarm messages on a PC.  But we are
dumping the alarms to a text file, manipulating it with awk scripts, and
archiving the resulting reports.  We do this automatically each day, running it
using cron.  We produce various alarm reports and put them on the network so
they can be analyzed by any production folks with network access.

This is a low-tech approach, but it works and requires no new hardware or
software, just some fairly basic awk scripting.

For systems with legacy historians like ours, the data is in the file
/usr/hstorian/almhist.  The format of this file is funky and does not work with
commands like cat, pr or grep.  Foxboro has written a script that will dump this
file to a usable ASCII file for you.  Then you take it from there using standard
Unix text manipulation tools.

See the Foxboro Helpful Hint #714 for the script.  We haven't used the AIM*
historian package yet, so I don't know how you'd go about doing this on an AIM*
system.

[Johnson, Alex (Foxboro)]

For what it is worth,


FoxAMI can store the messages in Informix on a Solaris AW/AP and you can
down load Informix's ODBC driver to make the data available to PCs.


Event Driven Scripts allows the user to filter messages (Alarms, SOE, OAJ,
SysMon, etc) and run a user supplied task.

Replace the printer with an old pc (low cost) running a terminal software in
capture mode.  Archive the captured ascii data to disk, periodically archive
the alarm data files across your network.  From there you can parse the
ascii data however you like and analyze it for nuisance, frequency, or
reports.
