The Log Manager periodically sends requests to target devices according to a fixed polling interval. The target device receives the requests and sends replies to the Log Manager.

The Log Manager then processes data in two different ways:

Data passes through the filter you set; it may be saved in the database depending on the condition specified in the filter.

Data is checked against a threshold formula. If conditions are satisfied, the Log Manager automatically triggers the event associated with the log process.
