Event Log continued

FTP You can use FTP to retrieve a text version (event.txt) of the event log.

•The event.txt file is Tab-delineated so that it can be easily imported into any spreadsheet application.

•It reports as many as 5000 events that occurred since the log was last deleted.

•It includes information that is not in the Web interface and Con- trol Console event log displays.

–The version of the event.txt file format (first field).

–The Date and Time the event.txt file was retrieved.

–The Name, Contact, Location, and IP address of the Man- agement Card.

–The unique Event Code for every type of event.

Note: The Management Card always uses 4-digit year rep- resentation when logging and displaying event data. However, you may need to select a 4-digit date for- mat in the spreadsheet to display all four digits.

To use FTP to retrieve the event.txt file, do the following:

1.At a command prompt, type ftp and the IP address of the Management Card, and press ENTER.

ftp 159.215.12.114

2.Log in.

Note: Case-sensitive User Name and Password settings (apc is the default for both) protect FTP access. You use the Network menu (the FTP option in the Control Console or the TFTP & FTP option in Web interface) to change these settings.

3.Use the get command to transmit the text-version of the event log to your local drive.

ftp>get event.txt

4.You can use the delete command to clear all events from the log. You will not be asked to confirm the deletion. A new event.txt file will be created immediately to record a Deleted Log event.

ftp>del event.txt

250 Requested file action okay, completed. ftp>

5.Use the quit command to exit from FTP. ftp>quit
