The common way to log events is to use the internal log list of the Intel
®
RMM2. To show the log
list, click on the item "Event Log" from the section "Maintenance". In the Event Log Settings you
can choose how many log entries are shown on each page. You can also clear the log file here.
7.6.10.1 Event Log Targets
List Logging Enabled
To log events you may use the internal log list of the Intel
®
RMM2. To show the log list, click on
"Event Log" on the "Maintenance" page.
Since the system memory of the Intel
®
RMM2 is used to save all the information, the maximum
number of possible log list entries is restricted to 1,000 events. Every entry that exceeds this
limit overrides the oldest one automatically.
NFS Logging Enabled
Define an NFS server where a directory or a static link has to be exported to, in order to write all
logging data to a file that is located there. To write logging data from more than one Intel
®
RMM2 devices to only one NFS share, you must define a file name that is unique for each
device. When you change the NFS settings and press the "Apply" button, the NFS share will be
mounted immediately. This means the NFS share and the NFS server must be filled with valid
sources or you will get an error message.
In contrast to the internal log file on the Intel
®
RMM2, the size of the NFS log file is not limited.
Every log event will be appended to the end of the file and it grows continuously. If the file size
gets too large, you may have to delete it or copy it to another location.
SMTP Logging Enabled
With this option the Intel
®
RMM2 is able to send emails to an address given by the email
address text field in the Event Log Settings. These mails contain the same description strings as
the internal log file and the mail subject is filled with the event group of the occurred log event.
In order to use this log destination you must specify an SMTP server that is reachable from the
Intel
®
RMM2 device and needs no authentication at all (<serverip>:<port>).
