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. |
