Overview of NetSight Element Manager

Log files

This read-only field indicates the directory used to store log files generated by NetSight Element Manager’s processes or applications (e.g., the alarm and event handling service). The default directory is \NetSight Element Manager x.x\Log.

Executable files

This read-only field indicates the directory whereNetSight Element Manager stores its executable files and dynamic link libraries (DLLs). The default directory is \NetSight Element Manager x.x\Bin.

Exported files

This field displays the default directory to be used in any export action taken from within NetSight Element Manager or one of its component applications (like RMON), regardless of the export file type (*.csv, *.txt, *.htm, etc.). The default directory is \NetSight Element Manager x.x\Export.

If you change the default export file location, files stored there will still be automatically

TIP backed up with the Data File Manager; however, if you also have exported files in the original directory (or in any other directory), those will not be automatically backed up. If you store exported data files in more than one directory, be sure to back them up manually.
