The ConfigChanges Searches category contains information about the searches that are currently requesting data from the Configuration Changes Auditing files. You can use the information to determine if a slow response to a Configuration Changes request is due to a large search or another factor such as abnormal network conditions.
The ConfigChanges Searches category displays the following information:
- Id—A unique identifier for the search.
- Desc—A description of the type of search, for example, Query for a search instigated via an SQL query.
- Object Count—The number of database items for which data has been requested.
- Object Ids—The unique database number(s) of the item(s) for which data has been requested.
- Time Filter—The time span for the search. The search only includes records with time stamps within the defined range.
- Streams—The number of streams searched and the total of streams available for searching. For more information on streams, see Define the Stream Size for Maximum Performance of the Event Journal in the ClearSCADA Guide to Server Administration.
- Streams are used by the Event Journal and Configuration Changes Auditing features in the same way. The only difference is the content of the files; the Event Journal files contain a record of various types of activity on the system, whereas the Config Changes files contain more detailed records but only relating to configuration changes.
- Records Hit—The number of records returned by the search. This is the number of records that match the search criteria and the total number of records that have been searched.
- Time—The amount of time taken to complete the search.
- If the Time Filter only covers a short amount of time and the Time value is high, the configuration of the search query may be incorrect or there may be an unusually high amount of data available for a short time period. We recommend that you attempt to retrieve the required data through a more filtered search. If you are unable to retrieve the date you require, please contact Schneider Electric.
