Events Tab
The Events Tab is where event notifications are configured for the module.
The GUI has an integrated event log,
which is a simple text log file stored in
the controller PC. This will record an
event and timestamp it. The log can
be seen at the bottom of the GUI
screen and can be scrolled through
using the scrolling bar. Events are
always logged into c3_local.logfile.txt.
The checkboxes (see screenshot
below) enable or disable the display
of event messages to the GUI log
window (see right: Event Logging
Area), saving to the logfile cannot be
disabled.
Log in GUI Function
Events are selectable, you can chose if you want to record a particular event in the log
(or not) or configure it to only record one side of the event. (
For example you might want
to log when a power supply is missing but do not want to log when it came back
). The
ON/OFF trigger can be configured for each of the available events shown in the list and is
setup using the checkboxes provided.
SNMP Support
If the system is using a Master Controller Option (e.g. OH_RCT5023_Server) and the
SNMP option is installed then the “SNMP Trap” columns become available.
Here you can configure what events you would like to transmit a
n “SNMP trap” over the
network. (This has no impact or influence over the internally eventlog maintained by the
LYNX control system)
(Internal LYNX event logging and external SNMP traps can be configured independently).
Event Logging Area
This is the event logging area of the GUI and is the central repository of all events
encountered by the system.
Note. The messages in the log window can be erased, but a log file is stored in the PC
not the individual modules. Each time an event condition is encountered and entry is
automatically made in the log. All entries are time stamped and can be sorted through a
filter with different selections
