Listing Collectors

About this task

The List Collectors function returns a list of selected statistics about a collector. You can specify the server, the collector name, and select the type of information displayed. You can also specify the range of cells for the display.

Procedure

  1. Select Administration and then select List Collectors from the Historian menu.
    The Historian Collector List dialog box appears.
  2. Select a server from the drop-down list. If you do not specify a server, the Add-In uses the default server.
  3. In the Collector name field, enter a Collector name. Do not use wild cards in this field.
  4. In the Output Display section, select one or more parameters for the output display.
    To select multiple individual tags, press the Control key and click the tagnames. To select a sequence of tags, press the Shift key and click the first and last tagname of the sequence.
  5. Click in the Output Range field and select a range of cells in a single row or column to determine where the returned data is placed.
  6. Select Asc or Desc to sort the messages in ascending or descending order.
  7. Select either Columns or Rows for the output display.
    Selecting Columns displays a table of values with parameters arranged in columns with header labels at the top. Selecting Rows rotates the table 90 degrees.
    Note: When selecting multiple tags, the orientation of the return data is based on the orientation of the selected tags and the Row/Col selection is ignored.
  8. Click OK to execute the search. Click Cancel to close the dialog box.
    Note: To return details for more than one item, specify a substring in the Collector Name field that exists in each collector you want listed. For example, if you had collectors Hero5_Collector0001 -010, you could specify the substring ?Hero5_Collector ? to return the details for all those collectors.
