When are new History Blocks automatically created in the system?

New History Blocks are automatically created in the system as needed when new data influx occurs. This functionality ensures that the historian efficiently manages data storage and retrieval by dynamically generating blocks to accommodate incoming data streams.

When new data is generated or collected, the system assesses whether a new History Block is necessary to store this information effectively. This approach allows for optimal resource utilization and responsiveness to changing data loads. As a result, data continuity and integrity are maintained without manual intervention.

Other options such as manual user requests or fixed time intervals do not reflect the automatic nature of how History Blocks are generated based on real-time data influx. Additionally, tying block creation solely to system performance metrics fails to recognize the proactive mechanism in place that ensures data is captured as it occurs, rather than waiting for capacity limits. Thus, the system's design is fundamentally geared toward flexibility and efficiency in handling ongoing data input.
