Abstract: Automated recovery of execution roles in a distributed historian system in accordance with actions and rules customized to each execution role. A monitoring service monitors the health status of execution roles and automatically performs a corrective action in response to the health state of an execution role triggering a predetermined rule.

Abstract: Some embodiments include a system and method of providing a historian that receives operational state data from a device of an industrial process of a network, where the operational state data is stored as time-series data, and processing at least one data query from at least one user coupled to the network. Based at least in part on the at least one data query and at least one dynamic cycle, at least some of the time-series data is retrieved, where the dynamic cycle is based on at least one tag associated with the time-series data. Further, based at least in part on at least some of the time-series data, at least one graphical representation of one or more tags is displayed, where each tag of the one or more tags represents an attribute of at least one process associated with the at least one device.

Abstract: Associating comments with tags in a managed historian system in accordance with a flexible, platform-independent data structure. A worker role instance automatically associates received comments with a process tag at a particular time in response to receiving the comments. The worker role instance stores the comments in the flexible, platform-independent data structure such that the comment is provided in association with the tag at the particular time in response to a display or search request for the tag.
