1. An industrial automation system, comprising:
a collector component communicatively coupled to a first network and configured to receive one or more event logs via a first communication protocol;
a first industrial automation component communicatively coupled to the first network and the collector component, wherein the first industrial automation component is configured to communicate via the first communication protocol;
a second industrial automation component configured to:
communicate via a second communication protocol different from the first communication protocol;
generate a first event log representative of a property associated with the second industrial automation component; and
send the first event log using the second communication protocol; and
a third industrial automation component communicatively coupled to the first industrial automation component and the second industrial automation component, wherein the third industrial automation component is configured to:
receive the first event log from the second industrial automation component sent using the second communication protocol; and
convert the first event log into a second event log interpretable by the collector component; and
send the second event log to the first industrial automation component using the first communication protocol, wherein the first industrial automation component is configured to send the second event log to the collector component via the first network, wherein the second event log sent by the first industrial automation component comprises data indicative of:
the second industrial automation component being the origin of the first event log; and
the third industrial automation component having received the first event log from the second industrial automation component.
