The same contents with operation log are displayed in the message display area by the fault monitoring function. The
display shows clearly the importance of the messages by adding an icon of each message level at the start of the
message. The message which has already been displayed once also extracts to individual log file on the PC side.
Whatever display status iSM client may be on screen according to the message level, it has function for noticing the
fault occurrence to the user.
(1) Output to the message display area
The same operation log that is extracted on the iSM server side is displayed in the message display area.
However, it displays only what is outputted during iSM client connection.
The message which shows connection/disconnection between iSM client and server is also displayed as an
individual message. After determining the message level, add the proper icon ( (Err) / (Warning) /
(Notice, Info)) at the start of line.
(2) Log collection
The message which is displayed in the message display area is outputted in the individual log file on the PC side.
Up to 1MB data can be stored in one log file. If it exceeds 1MB, it is renamed to an iSM old file and a new iSM
log file is created. Because two files, OLDiSM.log and iSM.log are used one after the other, a maximum of 2MB
file can be saved and more capacity is not needed.
(3) User notification function
Because the iSM client is not always displayed in the foreground, there is a function which notifies faults to the
user at each message level.
When the message level is (Err) / (Warning), the task tray blinks and the notification button changes from
to .
The notification, the notification is stopped by pushing down the notification button or menu. Then the
notification button returns from to .
