Chapter 14. ADTRAN Utilities
DISPLAY | Sets the buffer size and display font. Also, clears the display. | ||
|
|
|
|
LOG FILES | Erases log files, defines Red events, sets priorities and action to be taken | ||
| when an event occurs, and clears Red events. (See Define RED Events in the | ||
| following paragraphs.) | ||
ERASE LOG FILES | The SysLog utility, by default, stores all messages of a certain priority in a | ||
| specified local log file or facility. These files are named LOCAL0.txt, | ||
| LOCAL1.txt, LOCAL2.TXT, and so on. To erase the file, click on this menu. | ||
DEFINE RED EVENTS | The Red events feature allows the user to predefine a |
| |
| |||
| message priority condition so that if the condition oc- |
| |
| curs, the file is highlighted in red. In the figure shown |
| |
| here, any LOCAL0 through LOCAL7 facility becomes |
| |
| highlighted in red if a CRITICAL, MAJOR or MINOR mes- |
| |
| sage is received. This feature allows a user to quickly lo- |
| |
| cate problem units during troubleshooting. |
| |
PROPERTIES | When you click on PROPERTIES, |
|
|
| |||
| |||
| the SET FACILITY FILTERS dialog |
| |
| box opens, allowing you to speci- |
| |
| fy what types of messages will be |
| |
| logged to an ASCII text file. In the |
| |
| example shown here, all SysLog |
| |
| event messages of NORMAL and |
| |
| above (i.e., CRITICAL, MAJOR, MI- |
| |
| NOR and WARNING) will be logged. |
| |
| INFO (debug) messages will be |
| |
| blocked. In this example, if the log |
| |
| file exceeds 20K, SysLog alerts the |
| |
| user on startup to this fact. Also, |
| |
| from this box, you can set the alert |
| |
| action. | ||
CLEAR RED EVENTS | Click this item to clear all predefined RED events. | ||
|
|
|
|
HELP | Opens the help files, reports on the IP status, and provides information on | ||
| SysLog version number. |
