LogTrackingEvent |
LogTrackingEvent([Message], [ActorID], [Area], [Severity], [EventTime], [Source], [EventCategory], [EventType], [UserFields], [AlarmSourceName], [FullAlarmSourceName])
Simulates an Event or an Alarm and sends it straight to Alarm Server's database, without passing through an E3Alarm. Therefore, this Event cannot be seen on an E3Alarm, nor can this Alarm be acknowledged.
Each parameter of this method allows specifying the value of the field with the same name in the Event. Event fields are fulfilled according to this method's parameters, described on the next table.
