6.4.7Event Log
Figure 6-29. Event Log
Important events like a login failure or a firmware update are logged to a selection of logging destinations (see Figure 6-29). Each of those events belongs to an event group, which can be activated separately.

Warning
If the reset button on the HTML front-end is used to restart the PS/2 IP-KVM switch, all logging information is saved permanently and is available after the PS/2 IP-KVM switch has been started. If the PS/2 IP-KVM switch loses power or a hard reset is performed, all logging data will be lost. To avoid this, use one of the following log methods.
NFS Logging enabled

To write logging data from more than one PS/2 IP-KVM switch devices to only one NFS share, you have to define a file name that is unique for each device. When you change the NFS settings and press the button “Apply” ,
