Saving a Log File Set

 

 

A log file set is the combination of the alert log file and the error log file.

 

 

Alerts and errors are saved at the same time. Alerts go into a file named

 

 

filesetname_alerts.log. Errors go into a file named filesetname_errors.log.

 

 

filesetname is the name that you assign.

 

 

The Network Node screen’s title bar indicates how you obtained the data on the screen.

NOTE

 

 

 

If it consists of “Network Node - hostname”, where hostname is the host name of a

 

 

monitored host, then the data is from the master log file for that host and you selected

 

 

the Network Node screen from the System Manager screen.

 

 

If it consists of “Network Node - pathname”, where pathname is the full path name of a

 

 

file (probably in /var/opt/ids/gui/logs), then the data is from a log file set that you
