====== Alarm Analysis Import Stream ======

Alarm Analysis requires an import stream of Alarm & Event data. The process of importing data is a two-stage process:

  ***Defining the Import Stream**:\\ Configuring a flow of data from an Event Source (e.g. an Alarm Collector database) to Alarm Analysis. This is defined in Data Core configuration.

  ***Configuring Transform Rules**:\\ The source data will require parsing, interpretation, and (in some cases) cleaning rules applied.  This is a specialized task requiring domain expertise. Alarm Analysis includes a configuration tool to assist the process.

The instructions below cover the first (more general) stage and describe a use-case where the data is imported from a Process Vue Alarm & Event database on SQL Server. 



===== 1. Configure Event Source =====

Process Vue persists Alarm & Event data to SQL Server. We can set up SQL Event Source to monitor the Process Vue data base and collect any new records.
