On the navigation tree, click Diagnostics > Event Logging > Setup. The Event Logging Setup screen appears:

In order to use the Event Log, you must set up the IN-tact1101 to capture specific events. Use the following information to enable event logging. Also, it is important to note that SNMP traps are not filtered by the Event Log settings specified here.

Field/Button

Description

Severity

Select the severity level of events to log from the drop-down list.

 

There are four levels of events and they are listed in order of severity

 

below with Error being the highest. The severity level you select will

 

capture those events, as well as any events that are more critical. For

 

example, if you select the Warning level, both Warning and Error level

 

events will be captured, but not Info or Debug level events.

 

Error — In most cases, these events will have some impact on

 

operations and transactions may not be processing correctly. Error

 

events usually requires an interaction or attention on your part. Some

 

error events should be exported and forwarded to Hypercom for

 

analysis, as they may indicate a firmware problem.

 

Warning — These events are indications that should be monitored.

 

They do not necessarily indicate a failure, but cover operations like

 

polls being lost and then restored. Warnings often indicate a transient

 

event.

 

Info — These events simply provide information; they are not

 

indicative of a problem, but are useful in analyzing what is happening

 

with the device.

 

Debug — These events are related to the internal operation of the

 

IN-tact1101 and are not generally useful to anyone but system

 

engineers. These events record buffer allocations and memory

 

addresses to analyze software operation within the device. You may

 

be asked to select this level of logging when working with Hypercom

 

technical support.

 

 

Send To

Click the Syslog checkbox to send the events to a system log at

 

another location. You must provide an IP address of where to forward

 

the events.
