Configuration history

The configuration history is available for the configs _alert_hdl (alert handling) and _alert_class (alert class) configs. For all other configs configs, only the current state is saved.

When the settings for these configs are changed, the current configuration is stored in the RAIMA database.

For _alert_class and _alert_hdl configs, a history of changes is maintained in the configuration history. This is necessary to display the correct information when reading historical alerts from the database.

To avoid entries in the configuration history:

  • Use the function dpSetTimed(0,….); when modifying the configs.
  • When importing ASCII files via the ASCII manager, use the option -noAlertConfigHist.

If a datapoint is deleted, all records related to that datapoint and its elements are also removed from the configuration history.
