The List Panel
The List panel contains the following fields:
Field Description
Recording Determines whether the Log Server records log events for the corresponding KVM switch. If this checkbox is checked, the field displays
Recording, and log events are recorded. If this checkbox is not checked, the field displays Paused, and log events are not recorded for the
corresponding KVM.
Note: Even if a KVM is not currently selected, if its Recording checkbox is checked, the Log Server will still record its log events.
Address This is the IP address or DNS name that was given to the KVM switch when it was added to the Log Server.
Port This is the port number that was assigned to the KVM switch when it was added to the Log Server.
Connection If the Log Server is connected to the corresponding KVM switch, this field displays Connected. If it is not connected, this field displays
Waiting. A connection status of Waiting means that the Log Server is not communicating with the KVM, and will not record its events. This
occurs when the Log Server’s MAC address and/or port number have not been set properly. The MAC address and port for the Log
Server computer must be entered into the KVM’s ANMS settings screen. In addition, the KVM’s IP address and port must be entered
when adding it to the Log Server. If the port numbers in the ANMS menu and the Log Server do not match, the two will not be able to
communicate.
Days This field displays the number of days that the KVM’s log events are to be kept in the database before it is eligible for deletion.
Description This field displays the descriptive information entered for the corresponding KVM switch when it was added to the Log Server.
