Historian

The Historian category provides status information about the historic data that is being stored. The status information is useful for identifying which points, if any, are logging excess data.

Historian Status Settings

The status for the historic data is categorized as:

Id

Indicates the type of historic data. The Id can be:

His Error

The number of errors per region of historic data. This should be 0. If your system has a number other than 0, this indicates abnormal conditions and you should contact Schneider Electric for assistance.

Total Memory Usage

The total amount of memory used to store the records and database information.

Record Size

The size (in bytes) of a single record.

Total Stream

The number of streams used to transfer the directories for historic data. When the historic data is transferred, it is separated into directories. Each directory requires approximately 1 stream.

Total Primary File

The total number of files that are on disk and represent the time period defined for the primary historic granule index. There is 1 file per granule (a period of time, for example, a week). If the Index after n weeks feature is not being used, the Total Primary File entry is the total number of historic files on disk (see Manage the Size of the Primary Index).

Total Secondary File

The total number of files that are on disk and represent the time period defined for the secondary historic granule index. The entry is 0 if the Index after n weeks feature is disabled (see Manage the Size of the Primary Index).

Total Record

The total number of historic records that are stored on the hard disk. If this number increases rapidly, there may be a high server load (see Check for High Load on a Geo SCADA Expert server).

Total Data

The total size of the historic data.

%Flush

The percentage of historic data that has not yet been saved to the hard disk.

Flush Record

The number of historic records that have not yet been saved to the hard disk.

Flush Data

Indicates the size of the data that has not yet been saved to the hard disk.

Read Count

The number of file read operations.

Write Count

The number of file write operations.

%Cache

The percentage of historic data that is stored in the cache. The cache is used to store data that is required by a historic display that is currently in use. For example, if the Events List for a specific item is displayed, the cache is used to store all of the historic data that could be shown on the Events List for that item.

Cache Record

The number of historic records that are stored in the cache (see Define the Historic Data Cache Size).

Cache Data

The size of the historic data that is stored in the cache (see Define the Historic Data Cache Size).

Loaded Files

The number of historic files that have been loaded.

Locked Files

The number of historic files that are locked in the database (cannot be accessed because they are currently secured for use elsewhere, for example, are being used for a Historic search).

Largest File

The size of the largest historic file.

Largest File Name

The name of the largest historic file.

Flush Error

Indicates the number of historic files that could not be written (‘flushed’) to disk. If this is anything other than 0, there is a problem, and the cause of the problem is indicated in the Error Code column.

Error Code

Shows the result of writing data to file on disk.

The Error Code is blank if there were no errors writing data to file on disk.

An Error Code is shown if there are errors writing data to file on disk. The error code relates to the first error that occurred and is an operating system error code. It uses the syntax: <error number> - > <error description>.

Error File

The name of the first file in which Geo SCADA Expert has detected an error (the error is described in the Error Code column).

Oldest Writable Granule Number

Used primarily on a Hot Standby (MAIN), this lists the oldest granule number that you can write to. For Event Journal, Configuration Changes and the Alarm Summary streams this is in Hour Number, for all other data streams this is in Week Number. The Granule Number depends on the type of data (as described) and the age of the data stored - smaller Granule Numbers imply older data.

Oldest Writable Record Time

Used primarily on a Hot Standby (MAIN), this lists the oldest writable record time in UTC date and time

Oldest Syncable Granule Number

Used primarily on a Hot Standby (MAIN), this lists the oldest granule number that you can synchronize when the Keep online for period has been extended and the extended period is protected on the Permanent Standby. When the protected period expires this column does not display any values.

For Event Journal, Configuration Changes and the Alarm Summary streams this is in Hour Number, for all other data streams this is in Week Number. The granule number depends on the configuration of your system, in most configurations the oldest writable granule is the same number, if you use Archive after the two numbers will be different.

Oldest Syncable Record Time

Used primarily on a Hot Standby (MAIN) this lists the oldest syncable record time in UTC date time.

Protected Period

This shows in hours or weeks the remaining amount of protected period remaining when you have extended the Keep online for period. This value should decrease with time until the period expires, see Protect Permanent Standby Servers.

Protected Period Expires

This indicates the date and time in UTC time, when the protected period expires.
