Use this control panel to configure the Netlog utility. By configuring Netlog using the control panel, Netlog remains running across a warmboot. However, please note that:
•Netlog first stores data to a file named netlog0.cap, then netlog1.cap. Any time the current file reaches maximum size, Netlog switches to the other file.
•If the log file is stored in the root directory, any previous data is lost and a new log file started after the warmboot.
•If the log file is stored in \System, all previous data is saved across the warmboot.
•If Netlog is enabled across the warmboot, a series of brief popups may be displayed during the boot cycle. No user interaction is required.
