Ignition 8.1. Offline Version (04/2021)
The Status section of the Gateway Webpage provides detailed information relating to the following parts:
Systems | |
|---|---|
| Overview | Provides a top-down view of many of the components of your Gateway. This view is also useful for determining what step might be next when setting up your Ignition Gateway for the first time. You can view the status of your database connections, device connections, OPC connections, the number of open Clients and the number of open Designers. The Status > Overview page displays the number of Perspective Sessions currently running. |
| Performance | Displays the performance status for the Ignition system such as CPU, Memory and Threads. |
| Alarm Pipelines | Shows the status details about the alarm notification pipelines. You can see the status of an alarm and where the alarm is in the pipeline. |
| Gateway Scripts | Shows status details about all the Gateway event scripts running in Gateway. You can see information such as their execution status, whether the scripts are running or not, and so on. |
| Modules | A list of installed modules, their status, as well information about their version and current license state. |
| Redundancy | Lists information about the current state of Redundancy in Ignition. This information is only helpful when connected to another redundant Ignition server. |
| Reports | Displays information about the current and scheduled reports on the Gateway if you are using the Reporting module. |
| SFCs | Displays information about Sequential Function Chart (SFC) instances. |
| Tags | Lists information and statistics about all configured Tag Providers as well as a view into the Tag subscription model, scan classes, and what tags it is currently subscribed to. |
| Transaction Groups | Displays information about the current Transaction Groups. |
Connections | |
| EAM Agents | Displays a list of information from configured EAM agents. |
| Databases | Displays a list of configured databases, and if they have a valid connection or not. Shows active queries, long running queries, the number of queries a second that are running, as well as a trend showing the percentage of queries that completed in that time. |
| Designers | Displays information on currently running Designer sessions along with some information about each session. |
| Devices | Displays a list of currently configured OPC UA devices and which are connected and which have a faulty connection. It also shows how many Tags Ignition is requesting from the device along with how often it is requesting them. This information is used to determine if the device is overloaded with too many requests too quickly, or if the device is being under utilized. |
| Gateway Network | Shows an overview of the status of all Gateways within the Gateway Network. It also provides some metrics for each Gateway, giving an idea of the rate of data transfer between two Gateways, as well as a list of connection events.

| Store & Forward | Displays a list of Store and Forward engines, including status, as well as the number of records currently in each Store and Forward system. |
| MongoDB | Displays metrics from a list of created MongoDB connections. |
| OPC Connections | Displays a list of all current OPC connections and their status. |
| Perspective Sessions | Shows a list of current Perspective sessions and details about each session. |
| Vision Clients | Shows a list of current Vision Clients and details about each client. |
Diagnostics | |
| Execution | Displays a status of all tasks that your Gateway runs on a schedule, such as duration and execution time of an alarm journal update or the average time it takes a Gateway to execute a Tag Group. |
| Logs | Displays errors caused by Gateway events like database or device connections, authentication profiles, alarm journals, and pipelines. Logs include a wealth of information about the running state of the Gateway. |
| Metrics Dashboard |

| Running Scripts | Shows all actively running Gateway scripts, as well as providing a way to terminate any running script. In addition, Vision client and Designer consoles have a Running Scripts tab, which also lists running scripts and provides a way to terminate them. |
| Threads | Shows what each thread is doing in the Gateway, including their state and CPU usages. |
The Status tab also displays a search bar at the bottom left of each page. This search bar allows you to type in a word or phrase, and it will list all appropriate pages in both the Status and Config tabs to easily find all pages related to a specific system.
Note: The memory dump will only be generated if the
-Dignition.diagnostic-bundle.enable-memory-dump parameter is set to true, and available disk space is greater than or equal to twice the max heap size. For more information on adding system properties, see the Gateway Configuration File Reference page.
Exporting the Diagnostics Bundle with an increased number of wrapper logs and/or larger-sized wrapper logs may impact Gateway performance or cause the Gateway to restart.
