• Buffer Full Second Warning (bytes): If an SSH session cannot be opened, a second
warning will be sent once the appliance local memory reaches the size specified in this
field. The recommended second warning size is 700 KB.
Configuring the buffer warnings events as SNMP
If the appliance fails to open an SSH connection to the DSView server, the appliance will
continue to store data logs in local memory. To ensure that the administrator receives buffer
warnings events if the SSH connection fails, change the notification mode from Syslog to
SNMP.
To configure the buffer warnings as SNMP:
1. In a Units View window, click on the appliance name.
2. Select Appliance Settings - Events - Traps/Syslog.
3. Click the checkbox next to the following events: Appliance Data Log Buffer Full First
Warning, Appliance Data Log Buffer Full Second Warning and Appliance Data Log Loss.
4. Click the Enable SNMP Trap button.
5. The Notification Mode for the events changes from Syslog Enabled to SNMP Trap
Enabled.
If available, click the Flash Required button to ensure that these settings remain even
if power is interrupted. If the Flash Required button is not displayed, the settings have
been saved to non-volatile Flash memory on the appliance.
To begin receiving buffer warning events, configure the DSView software for email
notifications.
Specifying where data log files will be stored
To specify where data log files will be stored:
1. Click the System tab.
2. Click DSView Server in the top navigation bar.
3. In the side navigation bar, click Data Logging, then Location. The Data Logging Location
Properties window will open.
4. In the Location field, enter a local or network shared location, using a UNC (Universal
Naming Convention) path of up to 256 characters. You cannot specify a mapped network
drive. If the operating system supports case sensitive file names, use case sensitive text.
The default location is %<DSView software installation directory>%\datalogs.
