SYSTEM LOGGER
The DVR5100 maintains a system log that provides an overview of daily events in the system. Each time a user logs on to the sys tem, an entry is
automatically written in the system log. Other entries in the log track alarms that occur throughout the day, diagnostic information about devices,
and so forth. You can also make manual entries in the system log from different locations in the system. A system log can become quite large if
it is not managed properly. You can control how much information is written in the log, how often information is deleted from the log, and where
the log is stored (refer to Figure 89 on page 80).
