Logger Diagnostic Files
The Logger utility is a troubleshooting tool that continually records MCU system messages
and saves them to files in the MC U hard drive. For each time interval defined in the system,
a different data file is created. The files may be retrieved from the hard drive for off-line
analysis and debugging purposes.
The Logger utility is activated at the MCU startup. The Logger is disabled when the MCU is
reset manually or when there is a problem with the Logger utility, e.g. errors on the hard
drive where files are saved. In such cases, data cannot be retrieved.
When the MCU is reset via the Collaboration Server, the files are saved on the MCU hard
drive.
To access the Logger Diagnostic Files:
>> On the Collaboration Server menu, click Administration > Tools > Logger Diagnostic
Files.
The following tasks can be performed:
When retrieved, the log file name structure is as follows:
• Sequence number (starting with 1)
• Date and Time of first message
