110 Event Logs
The time stamp for each event in the StorView log is the exact time the event was received by StorView,
and can be slightly off for the actual time it occurred in the controller log. After synchronization, events
that occurred while the StorView server was down are marked with an additional string in the event
description which displays the actual time stamp that event occurred. The string will be in the form
of an asterisk followed by the time and date in parenthesis. At the bottom of the Event Log window
you will find the footnote “* Indicates event occurred while Server module was down”. This indicates
that those events with this extra time stamp in the description are the results of a synchronization
and displays the exact time the event actually occurred.
StorView’s event log has a maximum size limited only by the available disk space, therefore the log
events in StorView will require regular maintenance to ensure the list is manageable and doesn’t
fill to disk capacity. You can export the log files to a comma delimited file prior to clearing them for
later use.
