All events registered in the system or those events that match preconfigured filters are displayed in the Event viewer.
Attention!
You must create a blank filter (i.e. filter with blank columns) in order to display all events for all objects in the system in the Event viewer. All events are also displayed in the Event viewer when there is no filter at all (see Configuring event filters for displaying in the Event viewer).
If you delete all previously created filters, an "empty" filter will be left. When selected, it will display all events.
The events display while using PTZ devices (cameras with telemetry) is managed by the SendEventToCore=1 parameter of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\AxxonSoft\PSIM\Telemetry registry key (for more details, see Registry keys reference guide; for information on working with the registry, see Working with Windows OS registry).
Filters
The Show filters checkbox opens the list of filters configured while system setup (see Configuring event filters for displaying in the Event viewer). To activate the filter, set the checkbox next to it's name. Several filters can be activated simultaneously. Options for using filters are described in the table:
| Filter use option | Filter settings made beforehand | Result in Event viewer |
|---|---|---|
| Filter checkbox is set | Certain objects and their events are selected | Only events that match the filter are displayed |
| Several filter checkboxes are set | Certain objects and their events are selected in each of the filters | Only events that match at least one of the selected filters are displayed |
| No filter is selected (all filter checkboxes are clear) | Certain objects and their events are selected in each of the filters | Only events that match at least one of all created filters are displayed |
| "Empty" filter checkbox is set | No object or event is selected | All events from all system objects are displayed |
There are no filters created for the Event viewer in the system, there are no filter checkboxes available | - | All events from all system objects are displayed |
The selected filters and the filter display settings remain the same after Axxon PSIM is restarted, i.e. if certain filters are selected and the list of filters is hidden, then after you restart Axxon PSIM, the Event viewer will display events according to the previously selected filters.
Events of different types are highlighted in different colors depending on the filter settings. The string color may change to another custom color or to the default color after filter switching.
A dynamic filter in the top of a column can be applied to show only events from the objects satisfying the search condition. This filter is applied by pressing the Enter key.
Operations with the event list
The Event viewer window displays a table containing a list of the events registered by the system, which are broken down according to object type. The object types, for which the registered events are displayed in the Event viewer, as well as the number of events simultaneously displayed within one event window, are specified at the system configuration stage.
Note
Most events from the system objects are described in Description of events and reactions of system objects.
By default, events are sorted by date and time in the Event viewer window. Events can be sorted by any of the columns. To enable or disable sorting, left-click the header of the required column. When changing the filters, the sorting is saved.
When sorting by time, new events are added to the end of the list in the Event viewer. The list is scrolled in such a way that the last event is always displayed in the window and selected. When the event (different from the last one) is selected, the list is fixed and there is no scrolling, new events are added to the end of the list. Scrolling is resumed in the following cases:
- The last event in the list is selected. This can be done using the Ctrl+End or Ctrl+Home keyboard shortcuts.
- The user did not perform any actions in the interface window for three minutes. This time can be changed using the UserActivityTimeout registry key—see Registry keys reference guide.
- The list was sorted by the new column or the filter was changed.
The table gives the following data for each event:
| Column name | Source | Event | Region | Add. info | Card | Date and time |
| Description | Source object of the event. Note. The information in this column is received from the objid column of the dbo.PROTOCOL table of the Axxon PSIM database | Event name. Note. The information in this column is received from the action column of the dbo.PROTOCOL table of the Axxon PSIM database | Conventional field (region) of the event source object location. Note. The information in this column is received from the region_id column of the dbo.PROTOCOL table of the Axxon PSIM database | Additional information describing the event (if any). Note. The information in this column is received from the param0 column of the dbo.PROTOCOL table of the Axxon PSIM database | Card code for the access-related events (i.e. ACCESS_IN). Note. The information in this column is received from the param3 column of the dbo.PROTOCOL table of the Axxon PSIM database | Date and time of the event. Note. The information in this column is received from the date column of the dbo.PROTOCOL table of the Axxon PSIM database |
| For details about the dbo.PROTOCOL table, see Base Axxon PSIM database tables. | ||||||
Additionally, a symbol near the source object of the event reflects the current status of the given source object.
The Clear button is used to clear the list of events in the Event viewer.
Note
After the Event viewer is cleared and if hidden events are to be displayed again, then Axxon PSIM must be restarted with the Load protocol checkbox set (see Event viewer parameters).
Event source objects
To show the actual location of the object on the Map, use the Show on map item in the function menu of the source object. As a result, the Map will be displayed. It will contain the source object (see Working with the Map). The corresponding object is highlighted with green dots and marked with concentric black-and-white circles.
To playback the video of the event from the event source camera, use the Show video item in the function menu of the Camera object (source object).
In the opened child window, the Surveillance window will be displayed in the archive playback mode.
The current playback position will be set to the position corresponding to the video recording start time.
Note
If the detection of abandoned objects is configured (see the Configuring smart video detection tools), abandoned objects are framed in the video when you play back the video.
