Data log

Path: Logs > Data > options

The data log records the current and power for the device, phase, and banks, as well as temperature and humidity at the specified time interval. Each entry is listed by the date and time the data was recorded.

To display the data log (Logs > Data > log):

By default, view the data log as a page of the Web interface. The most recent data item is recorded on page 1. From the navigation menu below the log:

Click a page number to open a specific page of the log.

Click Previous or Next to view the data recorded immediately before or after the data that is listed on the open page.

Click << to return to the first page of the log, or click >> to view the last page of the log.

To see the listed data on one page, click Launch Log in New Window from the data log page to display a full-screen view of the log.

Note: In your browser's options, JavaScript must be enabled for you to use the Launch Log in New Window button.

Alternatively, you can use FTP or SCP to view the data log. See “How to use FTP or SCP to retrieve log files” on page 54.

To filter the log by date or time (Logs > Data > log):

To display the entire data log or to change the number of days or weeks for which the log displays the most recent events, select Last. Select a time range from the drop-down menu, then click Apply. The filter configuration is saved until the device restarts.

To display data logged during a specific time range, select From. Specify the beginning and ending times (using the 24-hour clock format) and dates for which to display data, then click Apply. The filter configuration is saved until the device restarts.

To delete the data log:

To delete all data recorded in the log, click Clear Data Log on the Web page that displays the log. Deleted data cannot be retrieved.

To set the data collection interval (Logs > Data > interval):

Define, in the Log Interval setting, how frequently data is sampled and stored in the data log, and view the calculation of how many days of data the log can store, based on the interval you selected. When the log is full, the older entries are deleted. To avoid automatic deletion of older data, enable and configure data log rotation, described in the next section.
