F-SECURE POLICY MANAGER 9.0, Administrator'S Manual, Page: 35 / 102

Messages pane
Policy Manager Console logs messages in the Messages pane about different events.
Unlike the Alerts and Reports tabs, Messages pane events are generated only by Policy Manager Console.
There are three categories of messages: Information , Warnings , and Errors . Each Messages view tab can
contain messages of all three severities. You can delete a category in the displayed context menu by
right-clicking on a tab. By right-clicking on an individual message, a context menu is displayed with
Cut ,
Copy , and Delete operations.
By default, messages are logged into both files in the message subdirectory of the local Policy Manager
Console installation directory. Logs of the messages are kept both in English and the language you have set
for Policy Manager Console. A separate log file is created for each message category (tab names in the
Messages pane). You can use the Preferences
➤
Locations page to specify the directory for the log file,
and to switch logging on and off. The functionality of the Messages view is not affected when you switch
message saving on and off.
