Server systems and methods for utilizing a namespace property to correlate process tag values to corresponding events

A system for correlating a process tag value with a corresponding event comprising:

• a managed historian server comprising one or more computers comprising one or more processors and one or more non-transitory computer readable media, the non-transitory computer readable media having program instructions stored thereon that when executed configure the managed historian server to:
• receive, by the one or more processors, a process tag from an application server;
• determine, by the one or more processors, a namespace property of the process tag by parsing the process tag;
• receive, by the one or more processors, an event associated with the process tag;
• set, by the one or more processors, a namespace of the event to match a namespace of the process tag;
• link, by the one or more processors, the event to the process tag using the matched namespace;
• and
• display, by the one or more processors, an event icon representing the event along with data values of the process tag.
