Diagnostics Management Console (DMC) Reference
Viewing a log file
To view a log file, locate the file you want in the log file list, click on it to highlight it, and then
press Enter or select Open log file from the File menu or use the CTRL+O shortcut. You can also
double-click on the log file name to view it. The viewer that is associated with a given log file and
located on the local machine will be used to view the log file.
Listing of log files on the local machine
The log file panel of the DMC lists the diagnostic log files available for viewing based on the
directory path entered on the DMC Configuration Dialog.
Specifying a different location for log files
You can use the Browse button on the log file panel to locate log files. However, if you want to
change the default location in which the DMC will look for log files, you can specify it on the
DMC Configuration Dialog. You can access the DMC Configuration Dialog by selecting
Configuration from the Tools menu or pressing F4. A Browse button allows you to select a
directory for the Log File Directory field.
Note: If the user-defined variable is empty or not valid, the DMC will use the environment variable set up
during installation of the Intel telecom software: INTEL_DIALOGIC_DIR/log.
Listing of log files over the network
The DMC can list log files from mapped drives over the network. You must set this up on the DMC
Configuration Dialog. You can access the DMC Configuration Dialog by selecting Configuration
from the Too ls menu or pressing F4.
Display of error conditions
Whenever the DMC encounters an error while opening a log file for viewing, it will poll the
standard error stream of the operating system for the error message and display it to you.
13.4 DMC Configuration Dialog
The DMC Configuration Dialog (Figure 6) allows you to modify settings for the Diagnostics
Management Console (DMC). You must modify these settings if you want to use a diagnostic tool
on a remote machine, change the path to the log file directory, or preserve window size settings.
You can access the DMC Configuration Dialog by selecting Configuration from the To ols menu
or pressing F4.
