Configuring and Managing Routers with Site Manager
7-24 117347-A Rev. A
The Events Manager menu bar includes the following options:
File -- Lets you retrieve and load log files, save the output to disk, and exit the
Events Manager.
View -- Lets you refresh the display, clear the Events Manager window, and
access filter options.
Options -- Lets you connect to the router.
Find -- Lets you search for messages that contain specific text.
For suggested responses to specific event messages, refer to Event Messages for
Routers.
Use the Events Manager to do the following:
• Display event logs.
• Filter event messages.
• Search for an event message in the events log.
• Reload an event log saved in binary format back into the Events Manager
window.
(Storing a log on a router diskette or memory card saves the log in binary
format.)
• Refresh the Events Manager window.
• Clear the Events Manager window.
• Save event messages to an ASCII file on your workstation. You can then view
or print the file.
• Clear the current event log.
In addition to the Events Manager, on UNIX workstations you can use the UNIX
syslog facility to gather information about the router. Using the syslog facility, you
can specify a destination to which the router can forward event messages. For
example, you can specify a file on a remote host to receive event messages. You
can then open or print the event messages file.
For information about using the syslog facility, refer to Appendix D, “Configuring
the syslog Facility.”
