## Runtime wiring
Production routes alarm transitions through the Akka cluster. The
`HistorianAdapterActor`
([`Runtime/Historian/HistorianAdapterActor.cs`](../src/Server/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Runtime/Historian/HistorianAdapterActor.cs))
bridges messages from the scripted-alarm actor into the sink's `EnqueueAsync`,
fire-and-forget so the actor loop is never blocked on historian reachability.
The `WonderwareHistorianClient` is the `IAlarmHistorianWriter` the drain worker
delegates to. See [ServiceHosting.md](ServiceHosting.md) for the sidecar setup.
subscribes to the cluster **`alerts` DPS topic** and translates each
`AlarmTransitionEvent` into an `AlarmHistorianEvent`, then calls
`IAlarmHistorianSink.EnqueueAsync` fire-and-forget so the actor loop is never
blocked on historian reachability. The actor is **Primary-gated**: only the
node whose `RedundancyRole` is `Primary` historizes, giving exactly-once
writes across a redundant pair. `AlarmTransitionEvent` carries `AlarmTypeName`
(the Part 9 subtype string) and `Comment` (the operator comment from the
originating ack/shelve command) that populate the corresponding fields of
`AlarmHistorianEvent`. `WonderwareHistorianClient` is the `IAlarmHistorianWriter`
the drain worker delegates to. See [ServiceHosting.md](ServiceHosting.md) for
the sidecar setup.
**Scope:** scripted alarms only. Galaxy-native alarms historize via System
Platform's `HistorizeToAveva` toggle (not this actor); AB CIP ALMD is not on
the `alerts` topic (future).
## Configuration
The real sink is opt-in via the `AlarmHistorian` section of `appsettings.json`.
When `Enabled` is `false` (the default), `AddAlarmHistorian` registers
`NullAlarmHistorianSink` and the feature is dormant. When `Enabled` is `true`,
`AddAlarmHistorian` constructs `SqliteStoreAndForwardSink` and registers
`WonderwareHistorianClient` as the `IAlarmHistorianWriter`.
```json
{
"AlarmHistorian": {
"Enabled": true,
"DatabasePath": "C:\\ProgramData\\OtOpcUa\\alarmhistorian.db",
"PipeName": "\\\\.\\pipe\\wonderware-historian",
"SharedSecret": "<token from historian sidecar config>",
"BatchSize": 100
}
}
```
| Key | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `Enabled` | bool | `false` | Enable the real SQLite + Wonderware sink. `false``NullAlarmHistorianSink`. |
| `DatabasePath` | string | — | Absolute path to the SQLite queue file. Created on first use (WAL mode). Required when `Enabled`. |
| `PipeName` | string | — | Named-pipe path for the Wonderware Historian sidecar IPC channel. Required when `Enabled`. |
| `SharedSecret` | string | — | Shared secret token the sidecar expects on every connection. Required when `Enabled`. |
| `BatchSize` | int | `100` | Max rows per drain cycle handed to `IAlarmHistorianWriter.WriteBatchAsync`. |
> Dev and docker-dev deployments leave `Enabled` unset (defaults to `false`) so alarm transitions historize to nowhere unless a historian sidecar is present.

Under warm/hot redundancy both cluster nodes run `ScriptedAlarmHostActor` and evaluate scripted alarms, keeping each node's address space and engine state warm for instant failover. However, to avoid duplicate rows on `/alerts` and duplicate historian writes, only the Primary node publishes externally:
- **`alerts` topic emission** — `ScriptedAlarmHostActor` subscribes to the `redundancy-state` DPS topic and caches the local node's `RedundancyRole`. Each alarm transition is published to the cluster `alerts` topic **only when the node's role is `Primary`**. The default behaviour before any `redundancy-state` message arrives is to emit, so single-node deployments and the boot window never drop transitions. The OPC UA condition-node write and inbound ack/shelve command processing remain **ungated** on both nodes so the secondary is always ready to serve clients after a failover.
- **`HistorianAdapterActor` historization** — likewise Primary-gated so alarm historization is exactly-once across all alarm sources. (This actor currently has no production feeder; the gate is a forward-looking guard.)
- **`HistorianAdapterActor` historization** — likewise Primary-gated so alarm historization is exactly-once across all alarm sources. The actor subscribes to the `alerts` DPS topic and translates each `AlarmTransitionEvent``AlarmHistorianEvent` before enqueuing it on the sink; scripted alarms therefore historize exactly once regardless of cluster size.
Net effect: each alarm transition appears **once** on `/alerts` and would historize once, not once per node.
