[Alarm Summary] How long can save alarms ?

Anton

From the time I started work with Citect in 2010 I remember in Wizard was a parameter "Summary length" in rows (how much alarm can be in Summary? for example we set 10 000, 10 001 alarm will replace the oldest) but in production we want to save alarms in time period ( 3 months or 2 years).

By the reason we didn't use Summary

We used (and using right now) alarm log on web technology: apache + php + SQLite (via ODBC)/ We call it ALARM LOG. At the alarm log page we use an ActiveX element Microsoft Web Browser to display alarms fron our archive/log.

QUESTION: Does Citect in 2019 have any build-in instrument to log/archive alarms for configured period (for example 3 months or 2 years)?

In Citect 2015 help I don't see any descriptions about alarm summary ...... but in Citect 7.1 I remember it was .....

    As i wrote above We used (and using right now) alarm log on web technology: Apache + php + SQLite (via ODBC)/ We call it ALARM LOG. At the alarm log page we use an ActiveX element Microsoft Web Browser to display alarms from our archive/log

    A question to you as a man from Citect developers: does Citect have plans to make an alarm archive mechanism like trends (tag, format, period, graphic element to view)?

    Why Desigo Insight or ClearSCADA have an alarm archiving mechanism but Citect in 2019 has only new greyscale template (I am about Situational Awareness Library) ?

    Today's situation with archiving alarms is like graphic element Trend and ProcessAnalyst .....
