Issue
Is it possible to monitor TAC Vista 5.1.x active alarms in
some third party system?
Environment
TAC Vista 5.1.x
Cause
The alarms in Vista is saved in a text file in the Vista database. But reading this file is not a good way for a third party system to get the active alarms.
A better way is to use OPC.
Resolution
Install the Vista OPC server and use a OPC client to get the alarms from Vista in to a third party system.
