All Sentinel reporting is based on assets.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Show warnings for any Entities with Attributes which are not configured<\/strong>:\u00a0If you unselect this check box, Sentinel will ignore the entities that have missing attributes. If you select it, Sentinel will send a warning message for any of these. It can be useful to know about any un-configured attributes when you are first working with the monitor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tag<\/strong>:\u00a0If you select <strong>Tag<\/strong>, different fields are displayed on the screen. With the <strong>tag<\/strong> type, you are able to select individual entities to monitor; these are listed as monitor items.\n<ul class=\"intro-text\">\n<li><strong>Monitor Items<\/strong>:\u00a0The selected tags are listed. The tag is the source of the process input. Because tags can be related to more than one entity (in Explorer), you need to define the entity, by selecting it from the Asset drop-down list under this is (Entities are referred to as called Assets in Sentinel).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hierarchy<\/strong>:\u00a0If you select <strong>Hierarchy<\/strong>, different fields are displayed on the screen.

All entities from this point in the hierarchy are available as source entities.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Template<\/strong>:\u00a0Only entities that exist in the selected template structure are source entities.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Only include entities if the selected template is set as the primary template<\/strong>: Select this check box if you only want to include entities where the selected template is set as the primary template.\u00a0Note: By default, this option is <strong>not<\/strong> selected.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Show warnings for any Entities with Attributes which are not configured<\/strong>:\u00a0If you unselect this check box, Sentinel will ignore the entities that have missing attributes. If you select it, Sentinel will send a warning message for any of these. It can be useful to know about any un-configured attributes when you are first working with the monitor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"intro-text\">4. For the <strong>Input Data<\/strong>, define the sample method and sample interval.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"intro-text\">\n<li><strong>Sample Method<\/strong>: The options available depend on which Sentinel process is being used.\u00a0\n<ul class=\"intro-text\">\n<li><strong>Last Known Value<\/strong>:\u00a0The last known value of the data is used, even if this data point is in the past. This sample method is only available for processes using continuous data.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Linear Interpolate<\/strong>:\u00a0Requests a linear interpolation of the data for the time specified by the Sample Interval period. This sample method is only available for processes using continuous data.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Average<\/strong>:\u00a0Requests an average of the data between the times determined by the Sample Interval period. This sample method is only available for processes using continuous data.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Raw<\/strong>:\u00a0Displays the most recent data for tags for the time specified by the Sample Interval period. This is only available for processes using discrete data.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sample Interval<\/strong>. This is the regular interval between trigger periods, to collect sample data. At every sample interval, the collected data is prepared according to the sample method used, and then evaluated in the process. You can specify the sample interval in seconds, minutes, hours, days, or weeks. The default sample interval is 1 minute.\u00a0<br \/>\nFor accurate results and predictable behaviour, choose a sample interval that correlates well with the trigger interval that this monitor is using. For example, if the monitor\u2019s trigger interval is hourly, select a sample interval that divides evenly into that interval, such as one minute, five minutes, six minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes, twenty minutes, and so on. In this example, a sample interval of 35 minutes does not divide evenly into the one hour trigger interval, in which case the second 35 minutes fall beyond the trigger\u2019s end time and will not be processed for that trigger interval.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol class=\"intro-text\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol class=\"intro-text\" style=\"list-style-type: lower-alpha;\">\n<li>In the <strong>Sample Interval<\/strong> box, type an integer value. The default value is <strong>1 <\/strong>(minute).<\/li>\n<li>In the <strong>Interval Type<\/strong> drop-down list for <strong>Sample Interval<\/strong>, select an interval type. The default type is <strong>Minutes<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"intro-text\">5. If you have defined a precondition and you want to define a different sample method and interval for the collection of this data, then select the check box to the left of the <strong>Precondition Data<\/strong> box, and define the sample method and interval in the same way as for the Input Data.<\/p>\n<p class=\"intro-text\">You may want to do this if, for example, your monitor is using a Discrete Min Max process, fetching Raw data, but your precondition is dependent on the evaluation of continuous data.<\/p>\n<p class=\"intro-text\">If you do not define this, then precondition data (if you have defined a precondition) is fetched using the same sample method and interval as the input data.<\/p>\n<p class=\"intro-text\">6. If you want to define a different sample method and interval for the collection of process parameter or auxiliary data, then select the check box to the left of the <strong>Process Parameter \/ Aux Data<\/strong> box, and define the sample method and interval in the same way as for the Input Data.<\/p>\n<p class=\"intro-text\">If you do not define this, then process parameter data and auxiliary data is fetched using the same sample method and interval as the input data. For this reason, you <strong>need to select the check if your process is a<\/strong> <strong>Discrete Min Max Process<\/strong>, as that process type can only use the Raw sample method, whereas the auxiliary data needs to be defined (as Last Known Value, Average, or Linear Interpolate).<\/p>\n<p class=\"intro-text\">7. Define an optional <strong>delay period<\/strong> for the input data, precondition data and process parameter data.<\/p>\n<p class=\"intro-text\">By setting this option, Sentinel delays collecting the sample data by the specified interval of time. This option is useful in cases such as when a historian is writing data at a similar time to when Sentinel is reading data.<\/p>\n<ol class=\"intro-text\" style=\"list-style-type: lower-alpha;\">\n<li>In the <strong>Delay<\/strong> box, type an integer value. The default value is <strong>0<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>In the <strong>Interval Type<\/strong> drop-down list for <strong>Delay<\/strong>, select an interval type.

The default state for an action is <strong>Any<\/strong>. The other available states depend on which process is used by test.\u00a0Note: You can assign multiple actions to a test.<\/p>\n<p class=\"intro-text\">When an event occurs, any actions defined for the new state are carried out. Because the actions can be configured to respond to particular states, actions can be prioritised.<\/p>\n<p class=\"note\">Note: If <strong>Manage Case<\/strong> is selected for a state, and the <strong>Defer Actions<\/strong> check box is selected, the actions for this state are deferred until the case relating to this event is confirmed.
