Each dataset will have a set of diagnostic "System" tags, providing diagnostic and monitoring information. These tags are tabulated and explained below:

Tag UOM Description
*Process.Memory MB Provides the amount of physical memory mapped to the process context, measured in mega bytes. Essentially, reporting how much memory the Historian application is currently using.
*Process.CPU % Ratio between total processor time, the time the process had utilized the CPU and the application running time.
State "Recovering" "Starting" "Running" "Stopping" "Stopped"  Current State of the Historian
Size GB Calculate size of dataset files (GB). This includes all files within the dataset folder
*Space GB Gets the total free disk space on the root drive for the specific location of the dataset.
Tags # Total amount of tags configured within the dataset. This will exclude system tags
Reads Points/s Total amount of points read from the dataset per second. This includes all tags.
Writes Points/s Total amount of points committed to the dataset in seconds. This includes all tags
Second   Second component of System time. Based on local time
Minute   Minute component of System time. Based on local time
Hour   Hour component of System time. Based on local time

 

All tags are specific to the dataset exept the tags marked in the table with a *. These are relative to the Historian as a whole.
