Chapter 10. The Log Server

The List Panel

The List panel contains six fields:

Field

Explanation

 

 

Recording

Determines whether the Log Server records log events for

 

this CN8600 or not. If the Recording check box is checked,

 

the field displays Recording, and log events are recorded. If

 

the Recording check box is not checked, the field displays

 

Paused, and log events are not recorded.

 

Note: Even though a CN8600 is not the currently selected

 

one, if its Recording check box is checked, the Log Server will

 

still record its log events.

 

 

Address

This is the IP Address or DNS name that was given to the

 

CN8600 when it was added to the Log Server (see Configure,

 

page 117).

 

 

Port

This is the port number that was assigned to the CN8600

 

when it was added to the Log Server (see Configure,

 

page 117).

 

 

Connection

If the Log Server is connected to the CN8600, this field

 

displays Connected.

 

If it is not connected, this field displays Waiting. This means

 

that the Log Server's MAC address and/or port number has

 

not been set properly. It needs to be set in the ANMS settings

 

(see page 35) and specified in the Configure dialog box (see

 

Configure, page 117).

 

 

Days

This field displays the number of days that the CN8600's log

 

events are to be kept in the Log Server's database before

 

expiration (see Configure, page 117).

 

 

Description

This field displays the descriptive information given for the

 

CN8600 when it was added to the Log Server (see Configure,

 

page 117).

 

 

The Tick Panel

The lower panel displays tick information for the currently selected CN8600. Note that if the installation contains more than one switch, even though a switch is not currently selected, if its Recording checkbox is checked, the Log Server records its tick information and keeps it in its database.
