How can Application Server report data change events to the alarm system?

The correct choice involves enabling predefined attributes functionality, which allows the Application Server to report data change events to the alarm system efficiently. Predefined attributes act as a mechanism for monitoring specific data points within the Application Server. When changes occur in these attributes, the system can automatically detect these events and trigger corresponding alarms based on predefined criteria.

This method is particularly efficient as it eliminates the need for manual processes and enables real-time monitoring of critical data. By utilizing predefined attributes, you can ensure that the alarm system remains responsive to relevant changes, thus improving the overall reliability and effectiveness of the monitoring system.

In contrast, using a regular SQL query doesn't provide the dynamic real-time monitoring required for change events; it would simply retrieve data rather than actively listen for changes. Creating a new platform object does not inherently establish a link to report data changes, and manually updating the settings each time would be inefficient and impractical, undermining the purpose of an automated alarm system.
