Define the settings for a Send Data to FTP Server alarm action on the server.
A name field, severity selections, and the "Alarm Action Scheduling" display that all alarm action types share, are also available.
Primary and Backup tabs
You must define at least the Primary tab elements.
Note
The only difference between the two tabs is that the Backup tab includes backup settings.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| FTP Server Hostname | Identify the hostname or IP address of the FTP server that will receive the data. |
| User ID | Identify the user identification needed to log on to the FTP server. |
| Password | Identify the password needed to log on to the FTP server. |
| Verify Password | Retype the password. |
| Target Directory | Identify the relative directory path to be used to store the data at the FTP server. This should always be a path relative to the default directory associated with the user ID used to log on to the FTP server.
If the directories on the path do not exist they will be created automatically. Note This Target Directory field accepts macros. |
| Base Filename | Identify the base filename to be used for storing the data at the FTP server.
Alarm data will be stored in a file with this name, followed by the *.nbalert.xml file extension. Note This Base Filename field accepts macros. |

Is there a documentation on how to read the *.nbalert.xml file in order to translate it in a readable format ?
Hi Francois,
There's no documentation about reading the *.nbalert.xml file that I know of. You might want to ask in the EcoStruxure IT forum at https://community.exchange.se.com/t5/EcoStruxure-IT-forum/bd-p/ecostruxure-it-forum
I'd suggest putting the contents of the file in a text editor like NotePad ++ to make the XML easier to read. It's pretty self-explanatory.
I hope that helps!
