NOTE

Once you have added one or more device types to the NetSight Element Manager framework, they can only be removed by using the Restore from new function in the Data File Manager (described in Backing Up Data Files in Chapter 2, Overview of NetSight Element Manager). This will restore all configurable files to their default values.

Viewing the Log File

Each time you run the AddTool, AddImage, or AddDevType utilities, detailed information about the processing of the selected input file and its success or failure will be written to the \NetSight Element Manager x.x\Log\PostInst.log file. You can view this log file via Notepad or any other text-reading application to obtain detailed information about the processing of your input files. Viewing the log file can help you pin down any errors that might be preventing your input files from processing completely; it can also provide a record of the additions you have made to the NetSight Element Manager framework, and the date and time they were made.
