Accordingly we will create a message archiver for archiving of violations, for which we will open the archiving module page "Start"->"Archives-History"->"Module"->"Archiver on the file system" and through the context menu we will create an object of the message archiver alarms (Alarms). Note the value of the "Item type" field in the creation dialog, which should be the Message archiver! Configuration page of the resulting object of the message archiver (Figure 4.5.5) contains the "State" section of status and operative control, the configuration section "Configuration" and the "Additional options" section of specific settings of the archiver module. In general we have:
- The section "State":
- start the archiver for execution — set the sign opposite the corresponding field, only running archiver performs the archiving;
- specify the storage — leave the "Generic Storage" of the project;
- we can control the time of the first and last message in the archive of this archiver;
- we can control the total archive files size of this archiver;
- we can control the current and maximum time of the archiving session.
- The section "Configuration":
- set starting the archiver when the program is started — set the sign opposite the corresponding field;
- set category of messages that characterises the violations — "al*";
- set level of archived violations — "Information (1[X])";
- set address of the archive folder — "ARCHIVES/MESS/alarms", which is by default;
- Save the object.
