Before you import users and cabinets for the first time, choose how Security Center handles incoming Traka events. Select the Traka events to monitor, and associate those events to Security Center alarms and custom events.

Before you begin

  • Create the Security Center alarms you need, as described in Creating alarms.

What you should know

From the Events page, you can:
  • see all the events the Traka system can report.
  • choose the events to list in the Events filter of the Traka monitoring task.
  • choose the Security Center alarm to trigger when an event occurs.
  • create a Security Center custom event, so that you can monitor Traka events in the Monitoring task and on Maps, and so you can create event-to-actions.
  • Update the database so that Traka events received in earlier versions of the plugin have the correct timezone data.
    NOTE: The option to update the database is only visible if the system detects events from Traka plugin versions that are earlier than 3.2.1.

Procedure

  1. From the Config Tool home page, open the Plugins task.
  2. Select the Traka plugin role, then click the Events tab.
  3. Find the Traka event you want to report in Security Center:
    • Scroll through the list.
    • In the Search box, enter an event code or part of the event name.
  4. To show a Traka event in the Traka monitoring task of Security Desk, in the Traka monitoring column, select the check box.
    NOTE: Changes to the Traka monitoring task are is open, the events filter is not updated. To see the updated list of events in the Events filter, close the Traka monitoring task, and then reopen it.
  5. To associate a Traka event to a Security Center alarm, in the Alarm column, click , and then choose a single alarm.
  6. To associate a Traka event to a Security Center custom event, in the Custom event column, select the check box.
    NOTE: If you want to monitor a Traka event in the Monitoring task, you must select a custom event.
    CAUTION:
    Clearing and then re-selecting the custom event check box results in a loss of data.

    When you clear the Custom event check box, the custom event is deleted, and the history of events remains in the database, so you can generate reports of past events.

    However, If you re-select the custom event, a new custom event is created, and the event history for the original custom event is deleted from the database.

  7. Click Apply.
