Edit Field Description
under the Metrics section.
Warning
– operational warning messages, including receiver in and out of lock conditions.
Error
– error messages caused by fault conditions, including system shutdown and startup/boot.
Critical
– critical error conditions, which caused a restart/reboot of the receiver, including
hardware failures.
Only messages at the desired priority level and above will be actually logged.
Local Logging If this check box is enabled, local logging mode is turned on and events are written to an
internal local file in the receiver.
Keep Logs For Enter the period of time for which logs will be retained before being replaced. The maximum
number of days is 9999. Leaving this field blank will retain the logs indefinitely.
Remote Logging If this check box is enabled, remote logging mode is turned on and the syslogd daemon on the
receiver forwards log messages to the syslogd daemon on a remote host over UDP/IP, at the IP
address specified (see below). These messages are then processed according to the remote
host's logging configuration.
Remote IP For remote logging, the IP address of the remote syslogd daemon can be specified here, in
dotted decimal notation (e.g. 192.168.0.1). The default remote IP address is the global
broadcast address (255.255.255.255), thus allowing all remote syslogd daemons on the LAN to
record the logging output.
