Properties

Properties of the StationProxy are described as follows:

Enabled — Defaults to true, set to false if you wish to prevent polling by the ProvisioningNwExt. Note that Enabled must be true in order to use the special views on the Station Proxy extension, namely the Provisioning Station Director and the Station Job List.
Status — Current status of extension, where value is ok, disabled, or fault.

The platform connection will be in fault if any of the following occurs:
- Supervisor has no ProvisioningNwExt under its NiagaraNetwork (e.g., it has been deleted).
- Supervisor is not licensed for provisioning.
- NiagaraStation is in fault.
- Host’s platform daemon rejects the platform connection’s credentials.
The extension will be disabled if its Enabled property is set to false, or if the ProvisioningNwExt is disabled.
Fault Cause — Provides text explanation of why status is fault, otherwise is blank.
Station Status — Reflects one of the following values:
- Idle — Station is not currently running, and can be started without a reboot.
- Starting — Station process is running, but has not completed its startup sequence.
- Running — Station is running.
- Stopping — Station is in process of shutting down, but its process is still alive.
- Halted — Station is not currently running, and the host must be rebooted before it can start.
- Unknown — StationProxy has status disabled or fault, and so station status is unknown. Status is also unknown if the station is unreachable, or if a poll has not happened yet.
Poll Frequency — Corresponds to the Poll Scheduler in the ProvisioningNwExt, as part of its monitor “ping” mechanism (a ping of the platform daemon in the host running each station). See the section ProvisioningNwExt container components for related details.
Remaining properties described below are read-only, and reflect various items about the platform.
Is Restart Enabled — If true, the station can be restarted without a reboot of its host platform (such as with Win32-based platforms).
Is Reboot Enabled — If true, the host’s platform daemon is capable of (and allows) rebooting of the host.
Is Auto Start — If true, the station is restarted automatically after the host is rebooted.
Is Auto Restart — If true, the host is restarted (or rebooted if “Is Restart Enabled”=false) whenever the station terminates with a failure exit code.
Is Accepting Messages — If false (unlikely), thread dumps, station saves, and graceful shutdown is not possible using the platform daemon.
Log Buffer Size — Size (in bytes) of the buffer used by the platform daemon to hold the console output.
Log Buffer File Size — Maximum size of the console.txt file (in bytes) that the platform daemon saves console output to, when the station stops.
Num Cpus— Number of CPUs on the host running the station.
Current Cpu Usage — Percentage of time the CPU(s) have been in use in the last second.
Overall Cpu Usage — Percentage of time the CPU(s) have been in use since the platform daemon started.
Total Physical Memory — Total KB of physical RAM on the station’s host.
Free Physical Memory — KB of available physical RAM on the station’s host.
File System Attributes — Free space statistics for each file system on station’s host.

In addition to these properties, the StationProxy extension has a number of Actions.
