What is the purpose of the AVEVA Historian Configurator?

The AVEVA Historian Configurator serves a pivotal role in setting up and managing the configurations of the historian environment. Specifically, it allows users to define various settings that influence how data is collected, stored, and accessed within the historian system. This includes configuration of data sources, data retention policies, performance settings, and security features. By utilizing the Configurator, administrators can customize the historian's functionality to align with the specific requirements of their operational environment.

In contrast, managing client connections and executing SQL queries are tasks typically associated with client applications or specialized database management systems, not the configurator itself. Monitoring system errors, while essential for maintaining system health, falls under the domain of system monitoring tools or logs rather than the primary function of configuring the historian. Overall, the primary focus of the AVEVA Historian Configurator is to ensure that the historian operates effectively according to the intended specifications and needs of the organization.
