LOG FILES
Erases log files, defines Red events, sets priorities and action to be taken
when an event occurs, and clears Red events. (See Define RED Events on page
13-4.)
» Erase Log Files
The SysLog utility, by default, stores all messages of a certain priority in a
specified local log file or facility. These files are named LOCAL0.txt,
LOCAL1.txt, LOCAL2.TXT, and so on To erase the file, click on this menu.
» Define RED Events
The red events feature allows the user to predefine a
message priority condition so that if the condition oc-
curs, the file is highlighted in red. In the figure shown
here, any LOCAL0 through LOCAL7 facility becomes
highlighted in red if a Critical, Major or Minor message
is received. This feature allows a user to quickly locate
problem units during troubleshooting.
» Properties
When you click on
Properties
,
the
Set Facility Filters
dialog box
opens allowing you to specify
what types of messages will be
logged to an ASCII text file. In the
example shown in here, all Sys-
Log event messages of
NORMAL
and above (i.e.,
CRITICAL, MA-
JOR, MINOR
and
WARNING
)
will be logged.
Info
(debug) mes-
sages will be blocked. In this ex-
ample, if the log file exceeds 20K,
SysLog alerts the user on startup
to this fact. Also, from this box,
you can set the alert action.
» Clear Red Events
Click this item to clear all predefined red events.
