System Log
The System Message Log File Browser is a diagnostic tool that allows viewing entries in a system
log file. The default log file that can be viewed from this browser is eventlog.txt. This file is the
primary message log for informational notices.
There are other system log file that are available for debugging specific parts of the system. Note
that these log files have a fixed size and roll over when the maximum size is reached. When the file
rolls over, a single secondary file is created with the extension .0 . For example, when xbee.log
rolls over, the older data will be stored in xbee.log.0. When both files have reached their maximum
size, the older file will be overwritten. Also note that many of the log files are stored in persistent
memory (flash) and will contain data from multiple boots. The only exception is xbee.log, which is
stored in a RAM disk.
Logging is always enabled and is not user-configurable. When the Digi device operates in an
unexpected manner, the log entries can be sent to Digi for analysis by Technical Support and
Engineers. The event log cannot be turned off, so that Digi receives an accurate view of all aspects
of the operation of the device.
