Log

The B064-Series KVM switch logs all the events that take place and writes them to a log file. The Log section is split into two sub-sections; Log Information and Notification Settings.

Log Information

The Log Information sub-section is where you can view the contents of the built-in log file. When opened, a page similar to the one below appears.

The Log Information page can store up to 512 events, at which time the oldest files are deleted and replaced with newer files. The records it displays show the Time, Severity, User and Log Information associated with the event. At the bottom of the screen are four icons, whose functionality is described below.

Pause – Clicking the Pause button stops new events from being displayed in the Log Information page. When clicked, the icon changes to Resume. Click Resume to allow events to be displayed again.

Clear Log – Clicking the Clear Log button will clear the records displayed in the Log Information page.

Export Log – Clicking the Export Log button will allow you to export and save the log file to your computer.

Filter – Clicking the Filter button opens the Filter settings, shown below, which allow you to display only records that match the filter settings entered. The filter settings are described in the table below.

When checked, the corresponding event notification will be sent using the corresponding method. Note: You can check multiple boxes at the same time using the [Shift] or [Ctrl] keys. To highlight a group of consecutive ports, start by highlighting the first port, hold down the [Shift] key, and then highlight the last port that you wish to highlight. All ports from the first one you highlighted to the last will be highlighted. You can then click on any of the permission checkboxes to change that permission for all of the highlighted ports. To highlight multiple non-consecutive ports, start by highlighting the first port, hold down the [Ctrl] key, and then highlight each additional port one by one while continuing to hold down the [Ctrl] key.
