Figure 5-17 Event Log Dates tab
The parameters entered on the Filters and Dates tabs work together to provide
customized Event Views of network activity.
Note: A billing translation program is available in the VMS for processing the
event log to extract billing information. This program, described in
Appendix H, "VMS Billing Log Translator (VBLT)", filters entries in the
event log into a format which can be used for billing purposes.
Export
Selecting the Export command will open a windows file Save As dialog,
prompting the operator to enter a file name and location to save the event log.
The file is exported as an Extensible Markup Language (XML) file, which is a
simple and very flexible text format for import into most database applications.
Refresh
Selecting the Refresh command will update the log with any pending events
waiting in the event thread.
Alarm Masks
Alarm masks are a VMS tool that is used to limit false alarms generated by
normal system operations.
