The status chart​

The status chart provides detailed information about individual data transfers.

Status chart

  • Green transfer points represent individual transfers that have been successfully executed. The transferred values are stored in the status database. The retention period for the stored values is defined in the settings.
    If you click on a transfer point for which the retention period has expired, the message "Transfer values cannot be displayed because the retention period for the values has expired" appears.
    Red transfer points indicate faulty transfers and are retained longer in the long storage database.
  • When you click on a transfer point, it is highlighted in light blue and the transferred data is displayed in the connection.
  • When you hover your mouse over a transfer point, the execution time is displayed.
  • When you hover over the Gantt chart below the status chart, you can see the current connection status. The current escalation level is also displayed here.
  • Above the status chart, you will find the "Previous Transfer" and "Next Transfer" buttons to display the transfer next to the previously selected transfer. With the "Switch to Live View" button, you can observe the progress of the individual transfers.
  • The zoom can be changed with the mouse wheel.
  • If strings or arrays are too long, the transferred value is truncated in the display – but it is, of course, transferred in full. The length of the display can be adjusted in the status options under [#diagnostic data logging](../settings/status-storage-options.md#diagnostic-data-logging "mention"). The default value is 1000 characters.

  • Errors are indicated by red markings in the status chart. If you move the mouse over the faulty transfer object of the connection, detailed information about the error is displayed:

Error display

  • The status Gantt changes color when an error occurs in the plug-in, a warning appears, or the connection is terminated.
    The status Gantt is displayed in orange (Checking connection) when the connection is being checked and in red when the connection is in Error status (error in plug-in). If the connection is working correctly, the status gantt appears in green (Ready).

When OPC Router is shut down, all connections are given the status "Shutdown." The status then appears in red in the history.

In the status tree, you can manually start the transfer of a connection by right-clicking. It is not necessary for there to be a trigger in the connection for this. Manually started transfers are displayed in blue in the chart. In addition, a record is made of who started this transfer.

Clicking on the "eye" of a transfer displays the complete array or the complete stream.

## Escalation levels for status recording

If status recording has been deactivated, a warning appears in the status display. If recording has been completely deactivated at escalation level 4, the affected period is shaded in gray.

A more detailed explanation of the escalation levels can be found on the site [eskalationsstufen.md](../faq/eskalationsstufen.md "mention").
