1. A mechanism for monitoring a building automation system, comprising:

  • an alarm/event triggering conditions configuration component;

    a system configuration database;

    an alarm/event system context data notification configuration component on a server is integrated with the alarm/event triggering conditions configuration component and system configuration database supporting configurations for data notification;

    the system configuration database facilitates generating a default or a user-defined context data notification based on each alarm/event triggering condition configuration, wherein the context data notification includes content indicating a cause of the triggered alarm/event comprising a trend log for a piece of equipment triggering the alarm/event and a trend log for equipment other than the piece of equipment triggering the alarm/event;

    an alarm/event monitoring component integrated with the alarm/event triggering conditions configuration component, the alarm/event monitoring component having a first portion implemented in the piece of equipment and the first portion implemented at the piece of equipment monitors and evaluates an alarm/event condition based on current point data for the piece of equipment and a second portion implemented on the server and configured to process data over a time range relative to an event/alarm occurrence identified by the first portion of the alarm/event monitoring component; and

    a real-time data component and a history data component, providing data for monitoring alarm/event conditions; and

    wherein;

    using event monitoring from the alarm/event monitoring component, the alarm/event system context data notification configuration component generates the default context data notifications in response to being triggered by the alarm event triggering conditions component, the generated default context data notifications include the trend log for the piece of equipment triggering the alarm/event and the trend log for equipment other than the piece of equipment triggering the alarm/event.
