which can be activated separately.

The common way to log events is to use the internal log list of the B050-000. To show the log list click on the item “Event Log” from the section “Maintenance”. In the Event Log Settings you can choose how many log entries are shown on each page. Furthermore, you can clear the log file here.

Event Log Targets

List logging enabled

To log events you may use the internal log list of the B050-000. To show the log list click on “Event Log” on the “Maintenance” page.

Since the B050-000’s system memory is used to save all the information, the max- imum number of possible log list entries is restricted to 1.000 events. Every entry that exceeds this limit overrides the oldest one automatically.

Warning

If the reset button on the HTML frontend is used to restart the B050-000, all logging information is saved permanently and is available after the B050-000 has been started. If the B050-000 loses power or a hard reset is performed, all log- ging data will be lost. To avoid this use one of the log methods described below.

NFS Logging enabled

Define a NFS server where a directory or a static link has to be exported to, in order to write all logging data to a file that is located there. To write logging data from more than one B050-000 devices to only one NFS share, you have to define a file name that is unique for each device. When you change the NFS settings and press the button “Apply”, the NFS share will be mounted immediately. That means the NFS share and the NFS server must be filled with valid sources or you will get an error message.

Warning

In contrast to the internal log file on the B050-000, the size of the NFS log file is not limited. Every log event will be ap- pended to the end of the file so it grows continuously and you may have to delete it or move it away from time to time.

SMTP Logging enabled

With this option the B050-000 is able to send Emails to an address given by the Email address text field in the Event Log Settings. These mails contain the same description strings as the internal log file and the mail subject is filled with the event group of the occurred log event. In order to use this log destination you have to specify a SMTP server that has to be reachable from the B050-000 device and that needs no authentication at all (<serverip>:<port>).

SNMP Logging enabled

If this is activated, the B050-000 sends a SNMP trap to a specified destination IP address, every time a log event occurs. If the receiver requires a community string, you can set it in the appropriate text field. Most of the event traps only contain one descriptive string with all information about the log event. Only
