11 Events and Event Logs
When an enabled, defined event occurs in the DTX Control software system, it is saved in the event log. You may display
the event log content, view details about an individual event log entry or delete an event log entry. You may have an email
notification sent to one or more addresses when an event occurs. You may change the event log’s retention period and
export the event log’s content.
NOTE: You must be a member of the DTX Control software administrator or auditor user group to access event configuration and display
windows.
11.1 Email Notifications
The DTX 5000-CTL Management Appliance may be configured to send one or more users an email notification when an
enabled event occurs.
• You may specify which events will trigger an email notification.
• You may also specify one or more unit groups - an email notification will be sent only when a specified unit-related
event occurs on a unit that is a member of the specified unit group(s).
If a specified event that is not tied to a unit occurs (for example, DTX Control server started), an email notification
will be sent, regardless of the any specified unit groups.
NOTE: A mail server that supports Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) must be configured to receive email event notifications.
