The Log Manager dialog box consists of a menu bar, a toolbar, a list of all
user-defined log processes, and a summary of log parameters for the
currently selected process. Note that the same functions are provided in
both the menu bar and toolbar.
The first step in using the Log Manager is to decide which MIB variables
you should log to solve a specific problem or just to maintain a record of
system performance. If you are not sure about the MIB variables, refer to
their description in the MIB Browser or in the relevant RFC documents.
To display the current log parameters for any process, click on the required
process with your mouse. (The þ and || markers to left of each process
entry indicate whether this process is currently active or paused.)
The toolbar provides access to all functions in th e Log Manager. The three
key function groups include data display, process editing, and process
management. To delete, edit, activate, or pause a process, first identify the
concerned process by clicking on it with your mouse, and then select the
appropriate function.
