Chapter 13. The Log Server

The List Panel

The List panel contains six fields:

Field

Explanation

 

 

Recording

Determines whether the Log Server records the ticks for this

 

unit, or not. If the Recording checkbox is checked, the field

 

displays Recording, and the ticks are recorded. If the

 

Recording checkbox is not checked, the field displays Paused,

 

and the ticks are not recorded.

 

Note: Even though a unit is not the currently selected one, if

 

its Recording checkbox is checked, the Log Server will still

 

record its ticks.

 

 

Address

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

 

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

 

page 211).

 

 

Port

This is the Access Port number assigned to the unit (see

 

Configure, page 211).

 

 

Connection

Š If the Log Server is connected to the unit, this field displays

 

Connected.

 

Š If the Log Server is not connected, this field displays

 

Waiting. This means that the Log Server's MAC address

 

has not been set properly. It needs to be set on the Device

 

Management Date/Time page (see page 173).

 

 

Days

This field displays the number of days that the unit's log events

 

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

 

(see Configure, page 211).

 

 

Description

This field displays the descriptive information given for the unit

 

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

 

page 211).

 

 

The Event Panel

The lower panel displays log events for the currently selected unit. Note that if there are more than one units, even though they aren't currently selected, if their Recording checkbox is checked, the Log Server records their log events and keeps them in its database.
