Description
Local Logger
If this check box is enabled, local logging mode is turned on and
events are written to an internal (64k) buffer (approximately
1200 messages). New log entries are always written to the
buffer, regardless of commit interval (see below). This buffer is
circular so that when it fills up, new log entries overwrite the
oldest ones.
Commit Interval
When local logger is selected, the commit interval can be used
to periodically force a flush of the internal logging buffer to a
logging file on disk. The commit interval is specified in minutes.
A write to the log file on disk is only done if the buffer being
flushed has new entries in it, since the last write to the file. The
file on disk is overwritten at each commit interval.
Specifying 0 disables the commit interval feature.
This feature is useful, because the logger reads the disk file on
each power up, so that log messages that were made prior to
the last shutdown will be available for viewing.
Remote Logger
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
syslog
.
conf
file.
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 (all 255), thus allowing all remote
syslogd
daemons on the LAN to record the logging output.
