3. Type the maximum file size allowed in the Size field. Once this size
is reached, a new file is created to store the port log data. If you
enter a value of 0, the Dominion SX will not create a new file.
4. Type the time interval (in seconds) between two timestamp
messages in the log file in the Timestamp (Interval) field. If you enter
a value of 0, this will disable timestamps in the log file. The maximum
value is 99999. This field is optional, but if a timestamp is configured,
the syslog will have timestamps interspersed with the same
timestamp interval.
5. Type the time interval (in seconds) between two updates of the port
log file in the NFS Update Frequency (seconds) field. Data is
buffered until the internal buffer is full or this timestamp occurs. Then
the data is written to the file. This prevents severe network traffic on
port activity where every character would trigger a write to the NFS
server.
6. Type the subdirectory on the configured NFS server to write the
output port data to in the Out Directory field. This is the default log
file and contains the port sessions as visible to the user.
7. Click OK.
The following is an example of an output file.
