Pause Data Collection for a Subset of Tags

Procedure

  1. To pause data collection for a subset of tags using Historian Administrator:
    1. From Historian Administrator Main page, select the Tags link.
      The Tag Maintenance page appears.
    2. Select one or more tags in the Tags section.
      The right-hand column displays current parameters.
    3. Locate the Collection field in the Collection section.
    4. Select the Disabled option.
    5. Select Update.
  2. To pause data collection using the Web Admin console:
    1. Go to the Tags page from the Configuration page.
    2. Select one or more tags in the Tags section.
      The Tag Editor section displays current parameters.
    3. Locate the Collection field in the Collection section.
    4. Disable the option.
    5. Select Update.
      Data collection stops for those tags. To re-activate collection for those tags, select Enabled for the Collection option and select Update.
      Note: If the collector is configured to allow online changes, making configuration changes such as the above may cause bad data samples to be recorded as the collector internally restarts. Disable online configuration changes and restart the collector manually if you want to avoid this behavior.
