Managing remote servers through the Serial Session Viewer 157
scvTelnet<mmddyy>_<hhmmss>.log
The default log directory is session-specific. Each Serial Session Viewer session can have its own location
for storing log files. You can change the name of the file and the location of the directory that stores the
log files. By default, logs are created in the "IPViewer\logs" directory under your home directory.
You can view a log file at any time, using a standard text editor. The screen buffer is written to the log file
when the buffer is full or when logging is paused or stopped. To ensure the log file is up-to-date, either
pause or stop the logging.
Enable or disabling automatic logging
1. Select Options>Session Properties from the Serial Session Viewer.
-or-
Click Session Settings.
2. Click Logging.
3. Select or clear the Logging checkbox. The default value is disabled.
When you enable logging, the Default Directory field displays the current default location for log
files. If that is the desired directory, click OK. To change the default log file directory, see
"Changing the default log file directory (on page 158)."
Automatic logging will start or stop when you initiate the next Serial Session Viewer session to that
server. When logging starts, the logging status label will indicate Logging.
