About Event Attributes

Events usually also include attributes, which give greater detail to the status of the event. Attributes vary from server to server; user-defined attributes as well as vendor-defined attributes may be configured on your OPC Alarms and Events server.

Some common attributes are:

Start time
End time
Acknowledgement status
Acknowledgement time
Operator name
Data Source
Quality
Severity

Historian archives all event attributes sent to it by the OPC Alarms and Events server. Consult your OPC Alarms and Events server documentation for more information.
