Using the Event and Data Logs

The Event Log records individual occurrences. The Data Log, by contrast, provides you with a snapshot of

your system by recording values at regular time intervals.

Event log

Path: Logs > Events > available options

By default, the log displays all events recorded during the last two days, starting with the latest events. See

“Configuring by event”.

In addition, the log records: i) Any event that sends an SNMP trap, except unsuccessful SNMP authentication

attempts. ii) Abnormal internal system events.

You can enable event color coding for through “Local Users” on the Configuration menu.

To display the Event Log.

Path: Logs > Events > Log

By default, the Event Log displays the most recent events first. To see the events listed together on a Web

page, click the Launch Log in New Window button. JavaScript must be enabled in your browser to do this.

To open the log in a text file or to save the log to disk, click on the floppy disk icon, , in the same line as the

Event Log heading.

You can also use Secure CoPy (SCP) or FTP to view the Event Log. See “How to use SCP or FTP

to retrieve log files”.

To filter the Event Log. Use filtering to omit information you don’t want to display.

Important points on filtering:

• Events are processed through the filter using OR logic. If you apply a filter, it works regardless of the

other filters.

• Events that you cleared in the Filter By Severity list never display in the filtered Event Log, even if

selected in the Filter by Category list.

• Similarly, events that you clear in the Filter by Category list never display in the filtered Event Log.

To delete the Event Log. To delete all events, click Clear Log. Deleted events cannot be retrieved.
