Is there any way to log alarms to a SQL database?

Using Lookout 5.1, I have an application where it would be useful for Historical purposes to log alarm messages (generation, acknowledgement, completion) to an SQL database.  It is desired to run a 3rd party application in order to compute response times, and determine historical trends that might be discernable from the frequency of particular alarms (equpment out of calibration, equipment needing replacement, etc...).
Is there any way to acquire information on alarms, their generation and completion?
David Dudley

After all the reliability and integration headaches we've had with Lookout 5.0, it was an uphill battle just to get those above me to upgrade to 5.1.  I'm not about to start that mess again, in order to upgrade to 6.0, and in addition, if I went to them and said "It'd be nice to do .... to Lookout, and it will only cost us $$$ in order to do ....", I think I'd be kicked out of their office before I finished the sentence.
We've finally got Lookout 5.1 into a condition where it works reliably *most* of the time.  I'm not about to start another upgrade path, unless it were to something else.  Lookout seems fine for "small" systems, which are worked on by a single user, but in this case, we've got over 5000 tags from some 60 PLC's we're handling, with around 2000 or so discrete alarms.  The system is maintained by me, and I do *some* development on it, but we also have 3 or 4 other people who also work on the *same* system, which in the current design, with a single lookout file, and no discrete process database system, makes it extremely difficult, since only one of the users can be working on the system at a time*, and they MUST do it on the production system, as you can't merge pieces from different developers into the single operating system.
Can Citadel 5 be added or merged into Lookout 5.1?

  • Is there any way to log web traffic information of the users with RV082 router ?

    Dear all,
    I just bought a RV082 router. I can't find any way for logging the web traffic of the users.
    Can it be done with the router ?
    Thanks
    Fabio

    Hello,
    If I am not mistaking the best you can do is to send syslog traffic to a server or locally (to a server being preferred) .
    But you are going to see stuff like this:
    30>Aug 3 22:12:40 2005 gw RGFW-OUT: ACCEPT (TCP 192.168.1.111:2101->212.5.219.46:80 on ppp0) [0,0]

    You will need an external device to make this happen, Having a proxy server such as Squid would do it for you and not just that but will optimize the newtork :)

  • Is there any way to log in using a skype account, not a Microsoft one?

    I can only log into the app using the Microsoft account, however I have most of my skype contacts in my old skype account, is there a way to log in to the app using the skype account instead?

    Hi and welcome to the Skype Community,
    I'm afraid you can only sign in to Skype Translator using a Microsoft account. You can - however - link your Microsoft account to your "old" Skype account and then juse Skype Translator that way. Keep in mind though that you will lose the contact list of your Microsoft account based Skype account that way.

  • Is there any way to log in to a windows domain from iPad?

    My school has both a windows network and iPads.  Until recently all worked fine except there has now been a county-wide internet policy change.  To connect from the school network to the internet there is now a lightspeed gateway.  Now this is fine on the windows PC as each child's log in credentials automatically pass to the lightspeed server to allow internet access.
    On the iPads though the situation is almost bad enough to render them useless.  To use any app that requires internet access you have to log in in either Safari or K9 browser (the education authority's prefered browser).  The connection then drops out if the iPad goes into standby.
    Is there any app that would allow the children to log on using their windows credentials when the iPad starts up and keeps them connected until they log out?  This would make life so much easier - I managed to work out all the connection issues on my own but these children are under 8, expecting them to understand all this is unreasonable.

    Oh Lightspeed.
    And no there isn't for what you asked - through AD, have you looked at Mobile Manager in Lightspeed? I didn't want our school getting Lightspeed so I haven't used it - I don't know how much control and flexability it has.

    1. Click here and buy the DVD; you may want to install more RAM in the computer.

  • Is there any way to log errors (dropped frames, specifically) to a file?

    I'm a brand new user of FCP and Apple. I'm performing some testing and I don't see a way to log errors to a file. Any suggestions?

    If you're experiencing dropped frames, dollars to doughnuts it's not an error in FCP but rather the fact that your scratch disk (the drive you're capturing to) isn't fast enough for the format you're capturing. It shouldn't be your startup disk in any event... FW drives are not fast enough for some formats, and internal SATA's aren't fast enough (at least just one of them) for uncompressed 10 bit or HD files... What are you capturing to, and which format are you capturing, DV?

  • Is there any way to log in to active directory from a mac without joining the AD domain?

    I am looking for a way to log in to active directory without having the Mac join the AD domain. Basically i have not been able to understand all the ramifications of joining the AD domain. From what I have read in various documentations on the apple site and some of the AD plug in sites, it seems that if the mac joins the domain, all kinds of group policies get 'transfered' to the mac experience. How exactly does that affect the privileges of the local mac user on their machine? do they need to change their mac password? what happens to their existing home directories? what happens when they have their laptops at home?
    TIA

    The reason i am hesitant about binding the macs is that i'm not sure what are all the effects of that. will they have to change their mac passwords / usernames? more than likely the auto login will have to go. If there are multiple accounts on the mac (ex one admin account and other regular and admin accounts) how does binding affect them? how will it work when the mac is not in the office? if they have admin rights on the mac but not on the windows AD, how will that affect them? Do you know of a source i could go to to find answers for questions like these?
    Unfortunately, the source for answers should be your IT department. I can tell you how my machine works. I have a personal machine with no restrictions and a work machine bound to an Active Directory domain. Even my work machine has few restrictions compared to normal. I have a privileged account I can use if necessary. Also, I'm pretty much a goody-two-shoes so I don't try to circumvent restrictions.
    Basically, the Mac uses a system called Open Directory to manage user accounts. Every Mac comes with its own miniature Open Directory server. If you have a network with MacOS X Server, you can use the server's Open Directory. You can also use Microsoft's Active Directory to perform all the same tasks. The user's logins and passwords would be whatever is on Active Directory. They can change their password on the Mac and it will change the Active Directory password. Active Directory can enforce passwords expirations too.
    I am not an Active Directory administrator, so I can't give you specifics. Pretty much everything you have mentioned can be controlled via Active Directory. That is what it is for. It does require active participation of your IT staff. If you don't have that, then I don't see it working out well. It sounds like a paradox. IT wants to control users, but doesn't want to deal with it. You can't have it both ways. Maybe let it be known among the Mac users that visiting those restricted sites could cause IT to get rid of Mac altogether. That does sound like a probable outcome.

  • Is there any way to log off automatically from a WIFI connection every time the device is turned off or goes into sleep mode.

    I have a bunch of Apple devices in my house (kids) and don't like the idea of all these devices (iPads, iPod touches, iPhones) always being connected to my home WIFI.  Ideally, I would prefer the devices connect automatically when they are in use by a human and log off the network when they (the devices) go to sleep mode or are turned off.

    This is not an answer, more of a question.  I know that when a pad goes to sleep, it drops the connection. We all remember the thousands of posts from folks who had trouble re establishing the connection after waking up in the early days.  What is different now is the use of push, and notifications.  If you have these enabled, doesn't that mean that the wifi needs to stay active?  
    I notice that I have notifications on the screen that came in while asleep, and I can only believe that the wifi saw them.  This is different from the old behavior or re grabbing the wifi.
    So, to Pam, on one the devices you are concerned about, turn off notifications, fetch and push, put it to sleep, and see if it drops off the network.  I am kind of curious.
    By the way, having the wifi active has not shown me any battery usage. The router certainly does not care.  Security is at the router end, so if somebody wants to hijack my signal, it does not matter if the pad is active or not.  So I guess I am not clear either on what your issue might be.

  • Is there any way to add dynamic parameter in sql without breaking Server Behavior

    Hello, i'm building multiple language site.. i would like to know if there is possible way to add dynamic parameter in my query, without break the server behavior.
    For example:
    mysql_select_db($database_dxc_conn, $dxc_conn);
    $query_Recordset1 = "SELECT article.articleName, article.articleDesc FROM article";
    $Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_Recordset1, $dxc_conn) or die(mysql_error());
    $row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1);
    $totalRows_Recordset1 = mysql_num_rows($Recordset1);
    will become something like this:
    $additionalSQL=", article.articleName_en";
    mysql_select_db($database_dxc_conn, $dxc_conn);
    $query_Recordset1 = "SELECT article.articleName, article.articleDesc $additionalSQL FROM article";
    $Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_Recordset1, $dxc_conn) or die(mysql_error());
    $row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1);
    $totalRows_Recordset1 = mysql_num_rows($Recordset1);
    this is just an example, my real scenarion is far more complicated than this... however this kind of approach break the server behavior and force to do hand-coding...
    i would like to know if there's better way to do such thing like this...

    Server behaviors are simply bits of boilerplate code automatically generated by Dreamweaver. Editing the code doesn't "break" it (unless your edits are badly written). However, once you edit the code, Dreamweaver no longer recognizes it, so you lose the ability to drag recordset results from the Bindings panel.
    If you want to edit server behavior code, the best way to handle it is to lay out your page as you want, using the Bindings panel. Once everything has been done, only then edit the server behavior code.

  • Is there any way to hide my iTunes library on my MacBook Pro so no one can see my music library?

    I need to take my MacBook Pro to school, but I do not want anyone to see my iTunes library on it. Is there any way to log out, or even hide iTunes, so no once can see my music?

    Perhaps if you describe what you're going to be doing in more detail we can offer other solutions. But, really, beyond not using iTunes where people can see it or not letting others use your MBP there isn't really a way to "hide" the content in iTunes.

    I purchased some movies off iTunes from my account (but from my father IPad) to download as a gift,
    but didn't realize he can not view if not logged in with my account.
    Is there any way to save directly to the IPad (regardless of account) so he can view?
    Or transfer to his account?
    Or is any was to cancel the recent purchase if can not transfer as I will not watch these myself?

    sure pretty simple.  make a backup of your current settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
    then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
    then import pics to computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    you may need to save pics to camera roll first
    then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes
