As opposed to the general log files, which contain information about activity on the surveillance system itself,
event log files contain information about registered events (for more information about events, see
About
Input, Events & Output ...
).
The
Event Recording Settings
section lets you specify where to keep event log files, and for how long.
Event log files should be viewed using NetGuard-EVS or
Viewer
:
•
NetGuard-EVS:
In the Browse tab's
Alerts
section, select the required event, then click the
Get List
button to see when the event in question was detected.
•
Viewer:
Select the
Viewer
’s Alarm Overview control panel, then click the
Events
button to view the
events log.
Path
By default, event log files are stored in the folder containing the NetDVMS software, typically C:\Program
Files\OnSSI NetDVMS\.
To specify another location for your log files, type the path to the required folder in the
Path
field, or click the
browse button next to the field to browse to the required folder.
Days to Keep
A new event log file is created every day. Event log files older than the number of days specified in the
Days
to keep
field are automatically deleted. By default, event log files will be stored for five days.
To specify another number of days, simply overwrite the value in the
Days to keep
field.
The current day's activity is always logged, even with a value of
0
in the
Days to keep
field. The maximum
number of days to log is
9999
.
